      [quote=doodbug post_id=2006007 time=1606730365 user_id=13281]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[/quote]Do share.

        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.

              For HDB resale flats, the seller usually pays about 2% commission to seller's agent while the buyer pays about 1% to buyer's agent.

                May I know how much commission payable for hdb renting? I heard someone told me nowadays tenants dont pay commission anymore…


                On the commission on renewal of hdb whole unit & room rental… the 1st renewal commission I guess quite a normal practice and recently heard from someone commission payable on every renewal. I wonder if that is true…

                      We always pay the agent renewal fees (same tenants). We negotiate and settle on a comfortable sum for agent and ourselves.


                      We don’t deal with tenants directly. Agent handles them most of the times.
