Good morning buyer,

I assisted one of my buyer (SC) with his property purchase along Bukit Timah this year. He is willing to fork out over $100k (10% stamp duties) as the purchase is meant for own stay and he prefers to keep his centralised located HDB for investment. So it's up to individual but definitely most people will prefer to have tax savings.

SInce you are looking at investment perspective, rental yield and capital appreciation will be crucial. With the stamp duties incurred on top of the purchase price, will this purchase sound to be a good investment?

Perhaps you can share more with me over a cup of coffee so I will be in a better position to advise and assist you over tax savings.

Hear from you soon!

Hi,

If you have holding power and are optimistic about Singapore's long-term economic outlook, and feel you can exit at a higher price later, I feel it doesn't matter what others are doing. The more important thing is to select a project with growth potential and right attributes, to enhance your chances of getting capital appreciation. Just my 2 cents. Curious why are you considering d15? Thanks and look forward to hear from you again.

Warm Regards,

Hi,

Whether if it is worth paying ABSD depends on the property, and the price that you're buying it. If you are certain that this property can generate you the returns which will cover back the ABSD and more, by all means go ahead with it.

The question now should be, have you done the necessary analysis to justify this purchase decision? And what is the projected returns from this property in a few years time? If the projection is realized, will you be able to cover the ABSD and profit more from it?

The answers to the above questions will aid you in your decision making.

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

Dear sir/madam,

Given that you have to pay ABSD, I am assuming that you have existing property to rent out after your purchase or you will be leasing out the purchased apartment. From investment perspective, how long do you need to rent out that apartment in order to earn back the 10% ABSD paid? With abundance supply in pipeline, will value appreciate like it does prior to the downturn for you to ride on capital appreciation too?

Perhaps working out the above will allow you to have an idea of whether is it worthwhile to pay ABSD for this apartment.

Re: Today’s SG Professional Choice- SGAgent.com & SGRealtor.com

Hi,

Perhaps you could share more on your requirements, preferences, objectives (investment etc) and finances on hand (cash/ cpf OA sum) for me to be in a better position to advise further. With that in mind, I will be able to conduct a comprehensive financial cash calculations and progressive payments w timeline to asses which residence option will best suit your interest and property portfolio. Best, to take this step by step, with a long term perspective ; % scope of appreciation and capital gains in mind.

I will take this opportunity to shed some insights to the market and offer a preliminary overview of high yield projects with higher rate of returns.
Furthermore, it will be apt for me to map out the live transaction caveats and illustrate the price analysis ( capital gain / rental & sales report ) to explain in depth more on the procedural framework involved. You can also take this opportunity to clear your enquiries and allow me to suggest alternatives to leverage on the weak market! To add, there is no agent fees involved ; so my consultation and service will come at no cost and you are walked step by step throughout the process. Do visit my website for my high level of awards and testimonials! Look forward to your reply!

Dear Sir/Mdm,

To spend close to 1 mil (including ABSD) on an investment property in today's market will probably get you a relatively low yield and therefore not a good investment option.

There are plenty of upcoming supply of rental units in the market over the next few years as the tenant pool continue to shrink due to our tight manpower policies.

As such, I personally feel that it may not be a wise choice to invest now having to pay the ABSD. You may want to consider some other investment options instead. Please feel free to contact me so that we can discuss further!

Good morning,

Based on the requirement to pay ABSD of 10%, you are either PR with an existing property or SC with two existing properties in hand. Depending on your marital status, paying ABSD might not be a bad deal. However, the major concern falls back on your financing capability. If your current units are still on mortgage, you will require huge capital outlay for this purchase, aside from ABSD payment.

Do feel free to contact me for further discussion.
