Asked by
I can’t get an answer from anyone, so I hope someone here can give me the correct answer.

I have an existing HDB loan and my MOP is already fulfilled. I am now going to use ALL my CPF OA to fully pay off my HDB loan. Which means my CPF OA account will be almost ZERO after paying off the HDB loan.

After this, I am going to buy a private condo as 2nd property with 20% cash and 80% bank loan, and cash for stamp duty, legal fee, etc. Question is, do I have to maintain the CPF minimum sum of $77.5k (that is, to top up my CPF OA back to $77.5k with cash) as I am buying a 2nd property now?

Please help me with this question because I am unsure if buying 2nd property WITHOUT CPF will still trigger the CPF minimum sum. Thanks a lot!

Morning,

The simple answer is no. You are using cash to settle the down payment hence CPF minimum sum does not affect you on that aspect. However, you will not be able to utilize CPF for monthly installment either till you have accumulated the sufficient figures.

Do contact me for further discussion.

Hi,

Since you are not utilizing your CPF OA to fund any portion of your 2nd property, you do not need to maintain 77.5K in your OA. However, should you decide to use CPF monies to service the mortgage, you need to have 77.5K in your CPF OA and SA first before any excess can be used. Thanks and hope it clarifies. May I know which investment project are you considering at the moment? Will be glad to value-add further.

Warm regards,
