Hi investor,

You'd need to continue staying in your HDB flat, unless you obtain prior approval to sublet your whole flat.

Feel free to contact me at your convenience, and I'd walk you through the process, because there are other essential points to note, such as ABSD and loan matters.

Thanks and regards,

Afternoon,

If you are SC and have fulfilled the MOP requirement, you can opt to stay in your condo and rent out the HDB unit. 7% ABSD will be payable on the purchase. You can only utilize the balance amount of CPF OA after setting aside the minimum sum.

Do contact me further for discussion.

Hi,

As long as you are SC and have met the MOP of 5 years, yes you can hold both hdb & condo, and rent out one of them. May I know which property are you considering? Thanks and hope to value-add to your plans further.

Warm Regards,

Good afternoon buyer,

As long as your household has at least one Singaporean and fulfill the minimum occupation period, you can purchase a private property and keep the HDB as well. You can rent out one of them and stay in the other.

But do take note of this:

1) you can only obtain max 80% bank loan if you dont have any outstanding housing loan.
2) have to set aside half of minimum sum ($80.5k) in your CPF OA + SA first if you utilised CPF OA funds in your current HDB then excess CPF OA funds can be used in this purchase
3) you will be subject to additional buyer's stamp duty as Singaporean for your second property purchase.

Hope my sharing is beneficial to your property purchase.

May I know how can I continue to value add in this purchase?

Warmest Regards,

Hi Sir/Mdm,

1. You can either stay in the HDB or Private Property and rent out the other property.

2. In my humble opinion, it is better to stay in the private property and rent out the HDB instead as you will be able to enjoy a better lifestyle staying in a condo while enjoying a higher rental yield when renting out your HDB as compared to renting out your private property.

3. However, do take note that you will be subjected to Additional Buyer Stamp Duty of 7% when purchasing a 2nd residential property. For loan, you will only be manage to obtain a 50% Loan to Value if you still have an outstanding loan for your HDB.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your needs further and provide you with more assistance.

Regards,

Well, since is for investment gain, why not see the rental rate for which ever is higher then decide which one you like to stay in. But before considering all these factor, I think looking for a place you like or have a high return is more important than your accommodation.

Should you need assistance please contact me. Thank you.

If you have completed the MOP, you can choose to stay in private and rent out HDB.

Since it is an investment move, you should consider :
1. which gives you an advantage.
2. which gives a better investment return

I am happy to share with you the above 2 points.

Feel free to contact me.
