Hi,

Thanks for sharing! Have you considered how long you plan to stay in this unit? That could play a big role in your decision.

Since you’re planning to rent out the spare room, the rental demand for 3-room and 4-room units doesn’t vary significantly. The key factors will be the location and condition of the flat. These will have a bigger impact on how easily you can find tenants and the rental price you can command. Read More

Hi, appreciate your sharing. Propose 4 room HDB for better capital gain, if you have the abilities to do so. Able to meet up and share.
Looking forward to assist you at 9696 4398  or email me at stewartlim96964398@gmail.com

Cheers

Hi

For resale demand the 4-room will have a bigger audience as both singles and couples and families can also buy from you. You also get to rent out two spare rooms which should be sufficient to cover your monthly repayment.

Other than this balance lease (condition of interior) and proximity to amenities are also important for rentability and future resale demand. I am familiar with Tampines, having helped a single to get his 3-room last year at 41X series, and will be happy to share some inputs.

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

Hi there,

Thank you for your enquiry. I'd like to provide some insights to help you make a more informed choice.

Short-term Plan:
- Since your goal is to rent out the rooms, it doesnt really matter which size you buy as ultimately tenants prioritise the location & condition (nearby amenities, near MRT or transport facilities etc).

Long-term Plan:
- 4 room flats yield higher capital appreciation as they are usually higher in demand and more suitable for families.

If your budget permits a 4 room HDB, it would make more sense and you can rent out both rooms while fulfilling your 5 year MOP.

For a more personalised plan to help you, i would like to understand your situation better and help you with some financial analysis. You may contact me at 91150953  for a non-obligatory chat and I'll be happy to help :)

Safer option is definitely 3 room flat, but in general, if you are able to afford a bigger unit, it should give you better returns. The key here is to find out what the monthly commitments are, and look into the difference in terms of the monthly instalment, will the additional 1 bedroom rental cover the difference or even make more for a 4 room flat than a 3 room flat?

I have rented out common bedrooms for $1,000 and $1,200 for a 4S unit in Tampines that is newly renovated just last month. This could be a ball park figure you can work on in terms of the financial planning.
