I bought a studio that's why my loan is low (yup, around 650k). I paid upfront 20% + 3% stamp + around 0.5% Misc etc.. Got the maybank deal which is first year 1.6% fixed so the installment is rather low now. Third year might have to fork out cash I think. But I will just adjust my CPF accordingly so that I won't have to pay any cash.

gfoo, you mentioned that studio maintenance is $190? how come so low one? I thought is $267? I have not completed my purchase yet so cannot confirm.

You tobalek liao. 267 is 2 bedder incl gst. I just paid till july dey

A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."

Oh.. That means more savings. Hahaha. Can anyone let me know what is the maintenance fee for studio? For all stacks or different stacks, different price one?

Bro it is not a matter of earn so much or not. CPF board has a cap on CPF contributions of high earners. And looks like you and your GF are in that segment. $1035 every month put into each of your Ordinary Accounts by your employers (combined contb. of $2070) means you're both past the maximum cap liao. You're both making at least $15,000 a month each?

If i am not wrong, even if you earn $50,000 or $100,000 a month, your CPF monthly contribution will still be $1000++ every month. Any CPF experts out there can let me know if i'm correct on this?

As far as monthly loan repayment using CPF, there is no limit. As long as your Ordinary Accounts can supprt, no problem!

With your kind of offer, you can find some place better. i look at the crass of some of the new sail owners in this forum, you are better off finding some place else. You probably know who i am talking about...:doh: :doh: :doh:

Neither can i. Nvm, have chengai decked and bought outdoor furni for my smoking deck liao. Moving in this week, can't wait.

The stock finishings and equipment is really substandard though, had to get my ID to redo almost everything.

Yup. These transactions are the studios with cock facing (subjected to individual opinion). Those 4th/5th floor facing carpark. I was looking around the past few months and saw those ads but choose to get the high floor instead. But even with cock facing, I guess the location is still one of the best in Singapore.

It is really good buy for them because now, #07-0x is asking for 1400psf. And that is the only studio on the market now. Ask 1500psf also can because no more supply already. Unless you offer beyond 1700psf+++. No more high floor/mid floor liao. Heard from my agent, #3x-0x also sold over the weekend for 1620psf. I know because I am looking for another one to stay in.

Seems like there is some competition here... I am also trying to get another studio. Capital appreciation :) Rental is just a bonus.

lol. grrrrrr....fight! fight! fight!

but seriously, i think we're already sitting on paper profits for our existing. I'm looking for a place to house my mom for her retirement, so that we can technically live under one roof, but still have our privacy.

actually bought Horizon Hills in Johor for her, but reconsidering and might wanna sell that.

a good deal in this current market situation. But I was just wondering what the competition would be like when it comes to rental for owners looking to rent...

from what i understand from the mgmt office, the majority of units of the sail have since been rented out, or owner occupied.

How much is the season parking per mth for a parking lot? Are we allow 2 lots if we have 2 cars eg. for a 3 bedder unit?
