Jj5599 1st Gear April 6, 2011 Share April 6, 2011 i mean something that a human being can live in. so shoebox apt not counted nia.... Bro, nowadays unit sizes are getting smaller. So what if 1 bedroom unit is "mickey mouse" ? You not gonna live in it right? Your tenant is. As long as you collect rental, why care about its size?

Without_a_car Clutched April 7, 2011 Share April 7, 2011 Any questions you can ask Mr Mah directly by Mah Bow Tan on Wednesday, 06 April 2011 at 13:30 From Emily Boo: Hi Mr Mah, I would want to ask you why I can't buy a new HDB flat direct from HDB with my son instead of a resale flat? The resale flat is way beyond my means and worse still I am out of job for many months which make it more difficult to get one. I am a single parent who is 42 years old and my son is 6 years old. I went to see my MP at Aljunied GRC for many times and the replied from HDB is always a disappointment! I m just wondering how long must I have to wait to get a new flat as age is catching up. If that is the case, until I die I still can't get a new flat with my son as I m no longer young and still can wait. Do you care to answer to my question? Thank you! http://www.facebook.com/notes/mah-bow-tan/...196794700359215 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably sold his flat for high COV and waiting to buy new from govt. It's just a matter of how you look at it. But the govt themselves aren't angels too, by pegging hdb to market pricing which led to greedy sellers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic April 7, 2011 Share April 7, 2011 Bro, nowadays unit sizes are getting smaller. So what if 1 bedroom unit is "mickey mouse" ? You not gonna live in it right? Your tenant is. As long as you collect rental, why care about its size? my point is exactly that. it's not attractive to live in and in an untested rental segment. to buy for rental, the yield has to make sense and not simply juz someone paying the rent. plus, the yields may not be that attractive given the higher psf outlay. and the buyers of these mickey mouse units are usually 1st time, marginal investors wif prob little cash or holding power. that may spark a price war juz to get tenants. and we know how low budget tenants could affect the desirability of a devt in the long run.

Limxiaoming 2nd Gear July 18, 2011 Author Share July 18, 2011 Went to queue for Greenleaf at Tampines but did not get , went for the sim lian launch of Central8 and too expensive! Based on my combined income, the $750k 5 bedroom unit, I have to fork out almost $2k in monthly installments and have to take out $100k+ in cash Upcoming BTOs are in non mature estates and I'm kinda a east person. Just have to wait I guess... Pasir Ris slated for a BTO near MRT station but not launched yet. There is also a DBSS slated for launch later this year just beside Whitesands could be the last DBSS! Heard more land is going up soon in Tamp, can't wait. Behind central8 there are still large plots of land, hopefully I can wait for the day to come...

Zze121 3rd Gear October 18, 2011 Share October 18, 2011 BTO queue is horrible n comparable to striking a TOTO, especially the balance flat. With 8000k income ruling still on for HDB loan, bank loan is just a time bomb to long term loan. DBSS 500-600psf with prospect of selling at higher price is slim. EC 700-800psf unless its good location, those toilet design is With HDB ruling 5 years then can sell upon collection of keys, n that translate to 8 years in total with TOP by 3 years. As a 2nd timer, private is still better choice of all, Whereas Private can sell within 5 years after signing of S&P as of current levy ruling!

Haha bro I don't think that matters, HDB or DBSS, both managed by town council. I suppose the frequency should be about the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayspiderx 3rd Gear October 18, 2011 Share October 18, 2011 My guess is if there are insufficient parking lots than the chances of residents complaining will be higher thus more visits from wardens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
