Agreed...Wat I'm tinking of is rili to upgrade frm hdb to pte..never intended to make any kind of investment..Originally Posted by gohsoonk
In any case, is there a huge no of hdb owners who rent out their flat n stay in hdb? I'm jus doing a comparison if my case is an exception rather than the norm.
Now owning a HDB is an entilement, once sold, considered forgo.unless you down grade back...In term of rental yield, is the most handsome...Originally Posted by Sgysfj

Plenty of people are renting out their flats. See the article "HDB flats a plump investment choice" in the miscellaneous thread. The writer explains why it makes financial sense to keep your HDB flat even after you go for private property.Originally Posted by Sgysfj

In any case I understd wat u r saying.. Jus tat I never had such ideas wen I tot of upgrading

Sgysfj, how's your house hunt?
Perhaps should consider delaying upgrading plan. Renting out hdb is a very good source of extra incomeOriginally Posted by Sgysfj
Better to save and buy a mm. Huat huat

very easy.. go stay hotel 81 and get the cheapest room. Should be similar in sizing. Never been there myself though. So you have to try it. If not, try a HDB masterbed room with shower without cooking facilities. Quite similar.Originally Posted by rattydrama
No worries lah
oh.. din know got this kinda term.. MM.. cute.. hmmm... think we sold off the flat in abt 2mths time ba.. we onli managed to secure a cov of 28k..
saw a 4xx sq ft unit today...the show flat seemed livable...but no bath tub, gotta squeeze washing machine in the toilet, kitchen is less than size of toilet and clothes gotta hang in tiny balcony...Originally Posted by kingkong1984
other than that, living room and bedroom quite decent sized. Can be a proper bachelor pad.
But I can't imagine living in anything smaller than that..
Do away with cooking will do, macdonalds, kfc and pizza will do it. Most likely to have cafes around
which project showflat?Originally Posted by mantrix
Here comes the onslaught of the mickey fansOriginally Posted by devilplate
I saw the loft at nathan...actually pricing nt that bad given the nathan name...
buy for someone else to stay maybe. for projects which is all mms better or a mixture of different bedders better? ie...1/2/3/4 bedder...Originally Posted by mantrix
looks like it is on track the nett price of HDB re-sale to come down soon.Originally Posted by rinachew
Target level, COV zero to 10k only.... Valuation hold or drop. My humble guess
Location specific, price dependant and of course mm with facilities are the best.Originally Posted by rattydrama
pig can also fly if you got it cheap

Ride at your own risk !!!
Lilydale not exactly nice, pool is too small for so many units.
Visited a friend in Lilydale. Opposite massive land clearing. Apparently international school coming up at the junction of ave 1 and 6
