Asked by
We (both 38) currently have a HDB (est. value: $700k) fully paid. The HDB is currently being lease out and we are considering the option of :

1. Continue to lease out (good rental yield)
2. Sell the house to take profit and buy a private condo

We want to understand the pros and cons of each option before deciding on it. Is there any services available to provide financial advice on the option? If yes, what is the rate of the service?

Dear owner,

There will be a fair bit on intangible values involved in these 2 considerations.

1) HDB has traditionally given landlords good rental returns, especially when your unit is fully paid up and there is little reason to disrupt this mini cash cow.

2) Many buyers deem that it is the right time to enter the cooled private condo segment, also considering the probable rise in interest rates therefore it is good to lock in the still low interest rates now while you can.

With the above, another important considerations will also be your financial profile carrying out option 2. What is the outlay you intend to put into the purchase and how will it strain you financially to carry out option 2 since it will be a loan that you need to service instead of rental income that is coming in monthly from the tenant. This could lead to a change in your family lifestyle.

Morning,

Given your statement, I would assum that you have an existing roof over your head, other than the HDB at hand. Rental can generate passive income and holding onto the HDB unit might also means capital appreciation. By selling it off to upgrade will depend on your income status and longer term plans that you might have in mind.

Do contact me further for non-obligatory discussion.

Hi,

I'll be able to do a financial calculation for you. Looking at the information you have given, I would say this is a good time to look at your property portfolio carefully and plan your next step in a logical manner (i.e. in terms of numbers and sums). Your HDB would like have given you good returns and if you have used you CPF for the purchase, there are few important things to note even though your loan has been fully paid up.

I have been sharing with many homeowners how they can still benefit from the current market situation. And would you like to find out how you can purchase your next property without having to touch your savings yet you can still increase your savings via your current property? Find out how you can make your money work harder for you yet with calculated risk.

Do give me a call so I can share more with you. No obligations as there are vital information that homeowners need to know when planning the next step. No charges, just need coffee :)
