What options should a couple consider after selling their EC?

1. Buy a resale HDB then at 55 buy a 3 bedder condo for investment?

2. Buy another resale private property and rent EC?

3. Buy 2 private resale properties?

What is the best approach for a couple with $1m in their CPF in funding their future purchase?

Thanks

Good afternoon,

I will strongly advise to do up a detailed financial plan to gauge which plan will work best for you.

A detailed financial plan will involve funds on hands (cash and CPF OA funds) and income/ age as well (to determine whether can take up substantial loan).

I am an EC owner as well. Just to share my plans, I will do either these when it MOP.

I regard property as an investment until the date i decide to retire. I will probably cash out every property I have and move into a resale HDB if not i will just remain a plain landlord collecting rental to support my retirement.

After unlocking the capital gain in my EC, i will buy two properties under two individual names so the restrictions under cooling measures will not be applicable to us.

So there is no outright right or wrong after property sale. It's about affordability, needs/ wants, risk appetite etc.

Hope my sharing value added in your property needs.

May I know when will be a great time to meet up to discuss and explore your options?

An approach that works for a group may not be applicable for others. May I have more info and requirements about your plans to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Hi

It depends on your objective. What do you want?

Of the 3 suggested options, the second option seems to be the natural progression from where you are. You can rent your EC or you may continue to stay in the EC. However, it seems that you are opting out of staying in the EC as you mentioned about selling or renting. Is there any particular reason ie old or out of the way. This may probably affect your decision.

As has been said by my fellow associates, it would be difficult to answer your question without understanding your needs.

If you like, you may either call 9620 0827  or write to gavin.ng@orangetee.com to further discuss your options.

Regards

Hi,

From the question posted, it is obvious you have understand that Real Estate Agent in today's context no longer just a salesman role.
Overtime, there are mentioning of "Value-Addedd" service that provided by each individual.

This implied that now Real Estate Agent transform from a pure salesperson to a solution provider or estate planner.

However, no solution/planning could be done with detailed info and objective in mind.

1. You can't buy resale HDB & 3 bedder condo at the sametime for a married couple.

2. This dependent on the size of property you had in mind to determine whether this is both economical and profitable choice.
What are your family condition and current living habit?
What are your expectations from the rental yield?
Which area are you looking at?

In general, are you just looking from monetary perspective or to your liking?
Having said that, some landlord only willing to rent out their property to certain group of people rather than looking from monetary perspective.
And majority of them want the best of both world, but unfortunate, this never happen in reality.

3. Same as (2), what are you expecting to achieve in the next 5 to 10 years time?
Do note that resale property in general does not receive as much capital appreciation than new.

Although you have $1M in CPF, in order to buy private property, you will still need to fork out cash (5%) for the downpayment, which some of the investor not willing to commit.
On top of all these, you have to understand certain area does not provide as much yield as expected.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards
