Hey Gurus, my wife and I have a 4RM HDB in the north (shld fetch around $400K and above) and it is fully paid. With a combine income of $5K and with $33K combine CPF and $25K cash on hand, is it a good idea to go for an equity loan as to invest in a new launch condo for rental purpose? Understand that we have to fork out 40% downpayment if we take up the equity loan but is it a good idea? Thanks.

Hi PG,

In fact since you have no outstanding housing loan, you are able to loan up o 80% of the valuation/ purchase price. Downpayment will be 20% consists of 5% cash and 15% downpayment.

Other misc fees for purchase will be buyer's stamp duty (3 x purchase price) -$5,400 and legal fees.

If you need advice on bank loan, I can introduce some bankers to you.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Warmest Regards,

Morning PG,

Being equity loan, can I assume that you intend to put your current fully paid HDB unit as collateral for the upcoming purchase of private property?

If so, you have to shelf you plans aside as HDB unit cannot be used in this way.
