Separate topic but somewhat related:

If and when I retire, the children all have their own houses and move out.
If wifey and I go lease a condo in JB and rent out our HDB, the income from HDB should be more than enough cover the JB lease + basic living expenses in JB right?

Then some of our stuff in the HDB keep where? Cannot everything all shift to leased JB condo right?

Anyone with experience on this?

Just sell away or throw away or leave it to the HDB tenants. Material possession will lost values over time. Only thing matter is if your children will visit you in JB...

We already invested in SGD properties until ABSD making it not worthwhile.

Also the property I bought in JB is only token amount so the risk vs benefits is totally worth for such a small amount.
I think the ABSD 20% is worth it for the certainty and safer property in SG compared to Msia.

There are quite a number of "sick" and abandoned projects in Msia. JB has the most.

Why should I pay ABSD? Assume simple $1.5m property in SG ABSD is SGD 300k, my MY landed is about the same amount, so you mean you would rather pay ABSD then use the money to just get a MY landed property? I think you need to re-examine your proposal and also buying the 3rd or 4th property would incur heavy property taxes and if you rent out even worse, more income taxes, that's why we just sold of one of our 99LH industrial property to get rid of non performing non productive lease decaying "investment" SG property and also reduce property count.

Holding 99LH properties in Singapore is just as good or bad, as holding freehold MY properties.

What i meant was items like old wedding photos, prized watches, jewelry, collector items, etc
Definitely not going to just sell/throw away or leave it to tenants, or even bring over to keep in jb.

If keep at lock&store probably makes no sense as it could be a couple of hundreds monthly, might as well just keep 1 room.
Children may not even settle in singapore, considering that the it is a globalized economy nowadays, with jobs openings everywhere to anybody around the world. So who visiting who is not a consideration.

Just wondering any other simpler solutions

i just watched his clip last night.
Never expected sporeans so easy to part the money like that.
Especially what he said very true, purchase those already ready condos and people already live in rather than just give you see the design and tell you beautiful stories...all BS.
because many Sporeans have excess money :o

The cream of the crop only play with the best property. The usual mid tier group got burnt. Just like stocks also.

Many people said 20% absd is worth it until they saw the prices of their next property cost $2M, so absd is $400,000. Nobody with the right mind will pay $400,000...

Dear all,

I am praying everyday that the scum scammer and his disciple dragon snake gets cancer.

Confidence for the future. More good years ahead... Let us take Singapore forward together.
Thank you.
