            I went to WaterTown too.

            SOHO is suitable for small families (2 adults and 1 child).

              Nowadays, most of my frens who bought HDB flats end up buying private property and not selling their flats. They prefer to rent out their flats… no wonder analysts say less and less resale flats available…

                No reason to sell when you can rent out, it’s passive income.

                  govt encourage old people to be financially independent, no? :evil:

                    Singaporeans should buy an HDB flat as it is an asset to own one being a citizen…although it is not freehold. But I thought it is not allowed to own both HDB and private ?

                      I agree n i thk it also makes sense not to sell the HDB!

                      Rental collected from the HDB flat can help to pay for the monthly private condo insalment. Then when the couple grow old n their kids all grow up n get married, shift out liao n they don't really need to use the condo facilities anymore, they can switch back to staying in HDB n sell or rent out the private property! 😄

                        Thk the last rule was when u buy HDB, got min period (5 yrs?) before u can buy private.

                        Those who own HDB for more than the 'barring period' liao can therefore buy the private.

                        However, the opp holds true for your stt, ie, if you own private property, u can never buy HDB! 🙂
