I own an EC and would like to buy an investment property. I have very little CPF. I have 400kcash and earn and live in Australia. Should I refinance my EC to get more funds or just borrow 60% for the second property? Will banks in Singapore loan me?

Hi sicbo333,

To be honest, there is no perfect or correct solution in this situation, but rather which is more comfortable or suitable for you.

To refinance or to outright take another 60% loan from the bank has pros and cons. Taking into consideration of the low interest rates now, it is feasible to refinance for a fact that with more cash on hand, your variety or choice of property will get bigger, nevertheless, it is important also not to overstretch you finances for the investment.

As for loan eligibility, it is likely that as long as you are holding on to an employment with evidence of income, it should not be a problem, but to be on the safe side, approach a bank proper to find out more.
