Hi,
It is clearer from your updates on your plan.
(1) Do note Property tax is different for owner occupied and subletting.
(a) Owner occupied; AV of 1st $8k is 0%, next $47k is 4%
(b) Non-Owner occupued; 1st $30k is 10%.
Your property Annual Valuation is estimated to be around $9,300 thus you were taxed for $52/annual.
If it is Non-Owner occupied, your annual tax shall be $930/annual
(2) Your flat is 32 years old, remaining lease of 67 years. The value of your HDB is depreciating year by year.
In 3~4 yrs time, with current depreciation, or stagnant market. Your HDB value will be further reduce.
(3) Current private property is on upward trend, though not shooting up like rocket, but definitely inching upward.
Your chance of owning 2nd property is further reduce.
(4) Do note that once subletting out, you can't expect your tenant can take care of the house as you did. You might encounter more wear & tear cost than expected.
Suggestion is to sell upon MOP rather than waiting for another 3~4 yrs where you will be losing more than perceived.
