            donno lol, me not in a position to consider these things.
            take care of my own retirement, and kids' education first.
            the rest will have to wait.
            i do hear of a number of parents footing the downpayment for kids' properties though.

            mainly to avoid ABSD?

            Not necessarily. Some parents may worry about their kids squandering away their inheritance and choose to mauntain assets through structures.

              Footing downpayment for kids (adult age) is mainly to help them get on the property ladder or to 'co-invest' with kids without incurring ABSD. That said legally if your name is not on the title the child (adult age) can sell it away and not give you a cent.

              True. Even if this were to happen, what can the parents do to their kid?

              There is a way to go around it and parent still have control over the property. Hehe

                    If you buy a property under trust for your child, you can ask her/him to give it back to you as a gift when she/he reach 21 years old. However, please note that you have to pay BSD when she/he gift it to you (the quantum is 4% minus $15,400).


                    And, if you have another property(ies) under your name when your child gift it to you, you also have to pay 12% ABSD if that property is your 2nd property or 15% ABSD if that property is your 3rd or subsequent property.

                    So, maybe you need to work out on the timing when your child need to give it back to you so at that time you don't have any property under your name so you only have to pay BSD.

                      If you are holding on to a FH landed property, that idea is probably true, provided that you can and have maintained the property well. On the other hand, if you are living in a FH condo, the likelihood of enbloc sale in Singapore is high. And so on. A piece of good advice for young people, you should begin to invest early if you want to be rich at retirement age. I am renting an apartment in https://www.petercoopervillage.com/ because it is not worth buying a house at 25 years old. I invest in real estate and I will have a big profit after some years and I will buy a house with cash.
