At least Showster doesnt spam and participates in many other discussions elsewhere in the forum. The best thing to do is to ignore. I am losing interest in this thread and will check out for time being. Will come back again when the troll is gone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the couple he helped does not get into trouble in future. My take is always fully secure the roof over head first before getting more. Don't have to pay up but have the necessary liquidity to when needed. It is a priceless feel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually prior to your arrival, things were pretty much amiable here though there are some occasional disagreements but we tend to mostly agree to disagree. I have seen you from the old condosingapore forum to what u are pushing here now and if u are trying to get some positive attention here.. maybe u may wish to tone down a little on your somewhat aggressive rhetoric. We are mostly mature enough to see what you are hawking here and there isn't a real need to flush us with chunks of marketing materials that we are already busy throwing away from our letterboxes. I really do appreciate Mercs' sharing as the articles are more neutral and informative without a slant towards hardsell. Hope to see more of that here. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The couple in the mid-'30s, with 200k cash after selling their HDB and their CPF they are able to buy 2 private property with their income. Many are doing this and there is this group of people sharing how dangerous and impossible to do just because they don't understand. Then when people share how it is done, they start to say spamming to confuse the reader. Let me guess the same person with a different account. HAHA Are you referring to me? 🙂 I do appreciate some of the info/data you put out there. I thank you for those. However, if you can't accept what I say, it is totally fine. We all have our opinion. Like I mentioned before, agree to disagree. To "win" a discussion by saying that my account belongs to another same person in forum is shallow. Be humble my friend.

This loophole was covered long time ago (I think 2013) and recently upgraded (2018). Unless you can buy the company that already owns the residential property. I am not sure if there are many of such companies to buy. Yeah. Loophole closed. If company sole purpose is to hold the property, and just transferring the company ownership the Taxman will slap the usual Duties on the buyer/seller.

Khng8 4th Gear October 25, 2020 Share October 25, 2020 I would give the readers in this forum here more credit than assuming they are all ignorant or old fogeys steeped in their ways. Everybody has different risk appetite & if they reckon property investment at this point in time don’t fit their objectives, we should respect that. Personally, policy risk aside, CPF returns at 2.5% to 4% which is on net basis beats many endowment policies or annuities. 1M65 is actually not a myth. 1M55 based on one person earning is possible - if you just diligently contribute without withdrawing any for housing etc. Again, one has to do their own assessment on what works in their circumstances & how they should organise their finances. There is more than one way to achieve financial freedom. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or use CPF but pay back very fast. Edited October 25, 2020 by Throttle2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or use CPF but pay back very fast. How do you hit 1 million in CPF before 50? I thought there is a cap in how much you can put in your CPF? My gut tells me it is impossible mathematically to hit 1milion for 1 person before 50. I can be wrong though. ACtually if you use CPF to buy property, CPF accrues the interest so it will not affect how much you have inside your CPF after you sell the house, it is just you have to pay the interest out of your own pocket. edit: if you add up all the three accounts, Ordinary, Special plus medisave, maybe can but still tough.

Yes i am talking about CPF as a whole OA, SA, MS. of course it is tough, but i am one such example. even if just OA it is still possible. Just depends on how much bonus you are paid, year after year after year. For 99% of people , they cannot becos they use cpf for properties.

OA only I think it is impossible as there is a cap to CPF contribution and the OA interest rate is only 2.5% per year. OA+SA+MS possible I guess.

Khng8 4th Gear October 25, 2020 Share October 25, 2020 (edited) After you set aside the Full Retirement Sum of $181k & Medisave at $60k, still can withdraw more than $700k at age 55. (1M55) But those who are eligible are not withdrawing the excess funds after 55. In fact people I know want to contribute more since CPF interest rate is much higher. Of course this is relevant to those who are past 55 & can treat their OA like a high yield savings account. The point I am making is that it takes discipline a belief that CPF is indeed your money & should be included in your retirement planning.
