Nowadays, parents help with a lot of first down payment or simply gift the entire condominium. My classmate got an old freehold landed as a wedding gift from his grandparents
Yes I heard also as well. I think whatever give them make sure got enough for oneself.
Case 1
My freehold condo fren used the last of his money buy his daughter a house in Melbourne. Also sponsored her education after poly. Till today, almost no job and living off him. Never give him a dollar from salary.
On his end, he live worst than a dog.
Case 2
Neighbours parents gave them a condo as they moved to a 2 room BTO. Neighbour rdy have a 4 room HDB. Smart fellows planning to rent out the condo instead of staying there as they rather passive income instead of lifestyle upgrade. They love to travel.
Overall parents still have quite a lot of savings so even with the condo gift, they are alright.
In this case not bad as my neighbour will now have extra 4k passive income per month. One of them likely can retire early.
