    Default Loopholes in cm

    I am sure there are people like me who thinks a cooler property market is good for the country or myself.

    Instead of posting posting bad news articles, I think a more effective way is to highlight loopholes in the cooling measures to the authorities.

    I have highlighted to mas about the latest cm being based on the youngest borrower age by banks. Hopefully, they will fix this to the borrowers with the highest income.

    Is there any other loopholes like the 2nd property loan ltv?

    "the latest cm being based on the youngest borrower age"

    The unintended consequence of policy:

    mistress rate will have a sharp increase:

    An old man can buy much bigger unit if he linked his name with a young lady (unlikely his old wife);
    A young lady without paying any down payment can now have a share in a nice property, and start to collect rental.

    This is truly win-win.

    Even if it started as an innocent pure business joint venture, the development is anyone's guess.

    Thanks,
    Richard

    This is a loophole for PRC mistresses to run road with the old man's CPF. Could be a win-lose situation too.

    wow! Quickly setup a business and make big bucks in this semi-dead property market.
    If the government can setup casinos for money, let's copycat and ignore the moral bar.
    By the way, 10% of the profit will be donated to Helping groups to consult the broken families. I am very sure we can easily find a long list of volunteers in this forum to form the consulting groups. (That completes the full copycat, and we are back to moral high ground!).

    Thanks,
    Richard

    Sample Ads in Singapore:
    - Want to double your rental income without paying a single cent more?
    - Plus a young lady at your service!!!
    - Call now if you are 65+ (or close to that age).

    The flip side of the ads in PRC:
    - Want to marry a rich man in Singapore?
    - A beautiful home is waiting for you at the Garden City
    - Age 21 - 35, pleasant looking.
    - Simple conversational English is preferred, Hokkan or Cantonese a plus
    - Click here to sign up with recent photos and/or videos

    Whatever the CM, there will be loophole some how or rather. But like what one of the bro here says, the CM should be directed more towards the HDB market rather than the private because eventually, we are talking about affordability for public housing. CM directed to Private market would have a negative impact towards our economy and the investment sentiment here. If there is really a lot of liquidity in the market here and we stop or prevent them here, then it will only get them to invest elsewhere....as the saying goes, don't let the fat water out of your farm...😃
    We should keep the money here...😉

    There maybe a loop hole for those who are cash rich & do not wish to put large amount of cash into resale property purchase.

    Let say you intend to buy $2m property. U need to come out $1.2M (LTV 40%) cash base on the latest CM instead of $400k (LTV 80%) cash .

    Nego with bank to allow U to drawdown of let say $600k cash under "EQUITY LOAN". U can use the 600k cash to invest in stock, unut trust, bond etc. U can try to ask the bank whether they allow it. If U have little knowledge of investment. Better stay out of "EQUITY LOAN" scheme. U may bring disaster to your family if your investment goes wrong through ignorant or GREED.

    rdgs,

    The greatest loophole is to allow non citizens (including PR) to buy HDBs while rejecting rightful citizens to buy HDBs. Why Citizens with private can't share in the nation success while PR r given the full benefits? Please help feedback thks thks!

    Aiya I know the reasons la bro

    Tat why the CMs have loop holes and only target certain group of people for the good of the majority of Singaporeans.

    All policies are meant to benefits as large the number of people as possible. No choice.

    I think we have already seen this happening. Parent buying properties for and under their kids names.

    Using a younger partner to lower the age cap etc.

    This CM is not effective in errrr... cooling.

    The last few CMs has been targeting private properties. IMO CM should be on the HDB instead. HDB is the root of our escalating price problems, not private.

    You control HDB prices, you control MM condo prices. Mid and prime IMO is not really a concern for the masses and i don't think ours are overheating anyway.

    I believe next CM will address this. Possibly by completely restricting HDB owner from buying private. Meaning you must sell your HDB if you buy private. A time bar before new PR are allow to buy resale HDB (30mths).

    What it does to the market.

    1. Increase supply of HDB units in the market.
    2. Prevent rich foreigners applying PR just to buy HDB for investment. Thus reduce demand.

    common PR only a small %. biggest loop hole is if tats is in this case is allow public housing to be a form of assest. Should run public like public service. let it be run down and slum like malaysia or hongkong.

    then there is no value for HDB property then pple will not all rush to buy ! no demand no increase in price!!!

    isnt that all what everyone want cheap housing.. and CHEAP come with CHEAP standards.

    but then all will complain again.. we all like to complain.. n complain n complain. blame n blame... yada yada yada

    I dunno the reason. Is it that if only locals can buy, the price will never appreciate? Nother is to encouage the PR to contribute to population growth via having babies....? Thirdly is to suck up the last time excess units?

    I am wondering, if I sell my place and buy 2 houses at the same time, can I take 80% for both houses?

    duh.... I thought it is obvious that the statement is hypothetical given the title of this thread...

    If that is a loophole, it should be pretty easy to close. Although it is hard for the banks to check when you take two loans at the same time, it is easy to find out later. MAS could do checks on borrowers and find people with more than 1 80% loans after the CM was implemented. Just catch and fine 1-2 people big time and everyone will stay in line.

    Isn't the biggest loop hole of all time is to impose 60% LTV or even 40% LTV but does not affect new launch buyers since they have 2-3 years grace period before even paying up the 40% or 60% cash?
