I think SBF is even lower chance to get as will have more people applying as most people don't want to wait for 3 to 5 years for bto to be build?

Can apply both SBF and BTO together or each time only can apply 1 of them?

If apply SBF, can go see MP say you just want a house and don't mind any location so MP can write a letter to hdb to help you get SBF?

MP letter say you urgently need a house and don't mind any ulu location also can - should not be difficult for hdb to let you get SBF since you are 1st timer?

having a single able to meet the criteria of BTO plus getting chosen for BTO is akin to striking lottery...

Since u so urgent, why not buy resale flat? I think MP won't so free to entertain you...

I hear single apply BTO or SBF is like 80% won't get.
By the way single can only apply 2 rooms new flat somemore u still need to fight with the elderly for slot.

You can only apply for either SBF or BTO, not both in 1 exercise.

Depending on your reason (how urgent), if not, MP will not entertain you. Reason like waiting too long for BTO doesn't work.

2-Room BTO Flat

Get is sure can get provided not too fussy about location and unit choice.

You will need to ballot multiple times and a lot of patience. :s13:

BTO if you have the time in hand, SBF if you don’t have the time in hand but only luck :)
