Yeah i need a private place to get away from parents. Will be like my friend, still stay at parents but use as den.Also getting 1br or 2br is about life goals or priority. I got the 1br after my break up, where I was planning to treat it as my private place to bring back new gf.
but right now, I have a gf and my plan has changed again and will be using it as rent or as a place for both of us to live together in private.
after marry, can either keep the 1br for rent or just sell off.
Recently one of my single forever alone friend bought one in Holland area for about 1.4mBut my bduget only 1.5m max.
I plan to buy house and upgrade ny jap cat to conti for my own gratitification lol
I suggest u do more research.But my bduget only 1.5m max.

Very good if so. I’d love it if its low demand since it means i can lowball.I think aside from space (whether sufficient for 1-2 persons) , you need to consider resale value.
From casual conversation and occasional articles, hasn't such properties gone off the boil i.e no longer very attractive?
Yes haha. Mine is a bachelor pad kind of intention when I decided to get it. I value privacy a lot. So on weekdays maybe I can go back to my own room at parents place, weekends and ph at my own place.Yeah i need a private place to get away from parents.

How is living experience comparrd to say 5 room ccr hdb? Thinking of buying one since only within my budget currently
Thats ok distance to walk.It’s near Serangoon Gardens. Lor Chuan MRT is about 7mins walk... currently tenanted
Yes. Quite a good location, so I am confident it will have tenant when I want to rent and buyers when I want to sell.Thats ok distance to walk.
My relative bought minton for 700k 2bedder rent 2.8k
agree with the layout point and the ridiculous balconies.Don
I suggest u do more research.
Location aside, layout matters. A 500 sqft with a good squarish layout can look bigger and is more efficient than a 600 sqft unit.
2-br type usually have the highest yield and is easier to rent. Things like amenities, accessibility to public transport, schools are considerations for expats if u wish to rent..
Units built in certain years have useless spaces such as bay windows, planters, void space, overly large balconies etc.
Areas like Potong Pasir have many 99-yr condos built over the past ten years..
Not that straightforward..
Not sure if those are trash. The walls look thin as F, and each floor height so low, ground floor also got units. Do you hear neighbor's noise easily? It's like cheap developer trying to squeeze in as many units as possible.
Also lived by temporary amdl prostitutes who look down on the sinkies who moved over from HDB
Yeah actually 1m loan how mich is the repayment? 6k For 30 years? Thats ok if your take home is about 12k taking in acct tdsr 65%actually for me, the main consideration whether to stay at my own 1br or to rent out is all about money.
so if I can find a good tenant at good rate, I will rent out. And while waiting for that to happen, I can still move in to enjoy being a homeowner for a while. I don’t really spend a lot in other expenses also, so paying the mortgage on my own is fine.
Wont find partner or talk about living so soon for me. Its more of a escape place to destress and get peace.Yes. Quite a good location, so I am confident it will have tenant when I want to rent and buyers when I want to sell.
also, if I get married, can choose to stay at my place after redo the room, or stay with her parents, or stay at my 1br, or rent out my 1br then top up abit to find another suitable place to rent.
it’s really about being flexible, and having a partner that you can talk it out with.
Leasehold or freehold depends on the estate u choose.. for example, CBD area, Bukit Merah, Bishan has no freehold condos.. its not a matter of choice.agree with the layout point and the ridiculous balconies.
i prefer not to buy 99 years if possible. My dad never liked lease hold.
i can stretch to 1.6-2m for nice 2bedder. Only need to save more few years? meaning no conti car but i scared opportunity cost gone.
Hmm I’m considering west coast cos cheap sub 1.2k psf pricing but not near areas i play at. Sian.Leasehold or freehold depends on the estate u choose.. for example, CBD area, Bukit Merah, Bishan has no freehold condos.. its not a matter of choice.
Pick areas where expats like. D19 Serangoon or D15 East Coast. Larger supply of tenants.
$1.5M for a good size 2-Br is doable. No worries.
Dont buy new launches. Try to buy resale instead. Cos construction costs are much higher these days and TOP date is uncertain. A well-built condo can look quite new after 5-10 years.
My view, ur call la.
Ooh grats!! Which approx location and sqft?
plan to be bachelorette pad.
Drive a small japanese car but still prefet central south cos friends n fam stay nearby
Sounds awesome. Have u paid off full?Staying in a 2+1 bedder alone, 870 sqft. Suburban, not convenient location, but I drive. Bought at 700+ 11 years ago. Just nice for me.
