If I decide to buy a 2br private condo now, and sell before it TOP in 2014, is it normal to do so? Will I definitely lose money this way or does it depend? Depend on what and are there any restrictions to doing this?

Thank you, I'm very new to property...

Take note there is a Seller Stamp Duty. Selling on year1 which will cost you 16% SSD. 2)12% 3)8% 4)4%. So it really depend on how much your property worth at 2014.

Hi Newbie,

In the past, before the policy of Seller Stamp Duty was implemented, yes, many investor makes money buy and sell before or upon TOP.

Now, as David has mentioned, because of the SSD, this will take away all profits you might have made. A condo of $1M, if you sell within 2nd year after buying, you will need to pay SSD of $120K. Think the profit made might not be enough for cover this. So, I would say you would definitely lose money.

Please feel free to drop me an email or call me directly for a non-obligation discussion. Alternatively, we can also meet up to discuss at your convenient time and place.

Thank you & Best Regards
