Dear sir/madam,

Typically HDB rental returns is around $1800-$2400 a month subjective to the location and conditions. Your ABSD payable for 2nd property, assuming $1m in purchase price will set you off by $70k in additional stamp duty, meaning it will take at least 2.5 years of continuous rental at $2400 just to claw back the ABSD you have paid. Is it worthwhile to own 2 properties now when rental market is soft?

Planning out financially how much outlay you would like to put up for the purchase after your sale, setting aside some cash for investments with more assured returns instead.

Hi,

If you are a Singaporean, you can choose to stay in the private property and rent out your HDB.

But, have you ever thought about how many months of rental do you need to collect from your HDB just to breakeven for the 7% ABSD that you paid for your private property?

Have you thought about it if this is the best choice for you? Or is there any other options that you may have neglected?

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to understand more on your case and provide the best possible solutions for you.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen
