SINGLES: How many times you BTO then successful?

[Milodrink]

i bidded .. duxton balance flat. queue is more than the balance avail.
i bidded for the kim tiam new BTO.. .queue is more than the balance avail.

gave up and go buy pte. Top up a little. That time pte in suburb is still very cheap when compared to CCR HDBs

Wa like that very no choice.

How much waiting time you lost? Got 12 mths?

yup.

but of course.... on hindsight... i might have gotten a BTO if i anyhow hoot a non-mature estate... and they also come out profitable.

THOUGH.. it will not be as profitable as a GOOD LOCATION HDB or a pte condo.

Duxton is $600k become $1.2mil. Kim tian one also $600k now selling over $1mil easily

non mature estate maybe is $400k become $800k. .for good ones.

but that first pot of gold from BTO whether non mature or mature is enough to start ur journey into pte property

 

[mooseolly]

I tried 7 times got one time my queue number is double that of the available units. Then they call me go but I never because I check left level 3 and below.

HDB send one letter to me to say I used up one chance to forfeit for the year .

 

[cokezero]

Only tried once and failed.

 

[anthonygreenisreal]

1 shot 1 kill for me

 

[szeli]

gave up and went resale after 10 tries. not choosy. this was in 2005-ish tho

 

[campoix]

no brainer but usually see non-mature easy to get

Singles can only bid for non mature 2 room. Policy will change this year Q3 (?).

 

[Milodrink]

Wah like damn sian.

Imagine those waited the cheap BTO until wasted few years of youth.

40yo liao wait another 4years construction.

Really. Left how many years to stay in that HDB sia

 

[rabies79]

I started balloting ever since 2006 but quite a few failed attempts until we both gave up and bought a resale 3rm at Holland close for 169K. Tired of waiting and delaying our family planning. The public housing supply seems like never able to meet the demand from the past till now.

 

[decade]

first time balloted for sengkang central project years ago, 374 units available got number 23

 

[hub8246]

Why no more than 5 times?

yup.
BTO must start young,. more realistic for mid 20s to apply and selected the flat...
lucky ones 35yrs old, should be MOP up and can upgrade to pte .. just nice salaries also increased.
not so lucky ones.. can start at 40yrs old... still got time.

but by 45yrs old, no need think liao.
it's too stressful if you are a normal wage earner (not high salary type) to take on larger loan..

coz 50yrs old, you already starting to think of retirement and deleveraging. not to mention RETRENCHMENT. hehe. Unless u got one fully paid property to stay and the other one is service by ur tenant.

Jin lucky. Quite near mrt. Prices started from 98k only. Type 1 or 2? Hope I can also tio on my first try.
