Asked by
We lived in a HDB flat(Valued:400K) for 12 years. My dad died 4yrs ago and our loan is paid by Home Protection Scheme. My mum and my bro are the owners of this flat since.
I (28yo) intend to buy an EC with my mum (2nd timer). This mean my bro (34yo) has to buy her 50% share thru a loan to release her name.
She will give the 150K cash to me (I will be the ACTUAL person paying the flat loan in my bro’s name) and return 50K to her CPF. Consolidating with my own saving, the three of us would upgrade to an EC. We then rent out our flat and use the rental to finance both loans (flat and EC). I will pay the excess.
I intend to sell the EC in 10 years’ time. They will move back to their flat while I move to a smaller condo I would probably have bought in the 7th year. I will continue paying my bro's flat loan until it is fully paid off, even if there is no rental.
Assuming all parties in the scenario is willing. Can this work? Will I make a loss? Incur too much interest?

Afternoon Vincent,

There are a few considerations:

1) Your brother is only 34 hence he does not fulfill the requirement to purchase the unit under single scheme.
2) Depending on your mum's age, she might be required to set aside the minimum CPF sum within her RA before she can use the balance for another purchase.
3) Assuming you only carry out this plan when your brother reaches 35, would your income be enough to attain sufficient loan for both units?
4) With your brother buying over the HDB unit, he is required to fulfill 5 years MOP before he's eligible to rent out the whole unit.
5) As per your statement, you will get loan to buy another unit, on the 7th year, would it be realistic now that you are using your income to service 3 mortgage loans, before selling your condo on the 10th year?
