Thanks. Still considering whether worth to give up a 99yo home for a senior home.

just choose the option that benefit u the most. If u are senior then sell n buy a smaller flat 2 room short lease . pocket the cash n enjoy your last few years on earth.

Stay JB where cost of living is lower loh.

Stay JB works if you do not need to work/helping out or send grandkids to schools in SG

You are not alone in this consideration. There will come a point in time where we might consider cashing out, even GCB holders, kiddoes are well enough not to need your property hopefully mortgage fully paid off.

I'd just carrying on staying at the current home, at least I can rent out bedrooms to supplement for my daily expenses
Would also hire temp cleaner to help me clean my flat once every week

Because once you buy a 2r flat, it is not reversible anymore unless you still have the cash to get a bigger resale flat

Pros of staying in a 2r;
+Most rebates
+Little upkeep
+Silver housing bonus $30k

Cons;
-cant rent the flat out unless it's 99 years lease but where are you going to stay?

Unless my retirement account is only at BRS, I'd just carrying on staying at the bigger flat

Otherwise if you value privacy, then just choose the senior home

Great if you frequent to JB, and it is also near marsiling MRT
Can also consider renting out the flat after MOP while you rent a house in JB, maybe can stop working too
But get a 5r flat to max the rental

Thanks bro

think shld be cannot rent out 2 rm at all then.

cos by right if u single u rent out 2 rm. then where u stay. doesnt make sense. if u argue say stay with parents then they will say u dont need the 2 rm. leave it to someone else who need it more.

But still,
