Wt_know Supersonic August 8, 2013 Share August 8, 2013 (edited) hey bro ... unfortunately, the current message is the reverse HDB must be valuable (aka not cheap) - this is part of the so called "rooting" process so that people feel rich to own a property It's value appreciates over time as part of asset enhancement It's part of retirement tool ... old already rent out rooms for passive income If don't allow PR to buy ... who is going to pay a premium for the resale flat ... then how Sporean can upgrade to EC or PC Its the other way round lah.....HDb is low low down the chain, of course impact overlaps but it is not the leading factor its a resulting one. To me, HDB must be cheap. It must not be used for profiteering It must not be used for renting out It must be the right of every Singapore to buy one.

Yewheng Twincharged August 8, 2013 Share August 8, 2013 (edited) hey bro ... unfortunately, the current message is the reverse HDB must be valuable (aka not cheap) It's value appreciates over time as part of asset enhancement It's part of retirement tool ... old already rent out rooms for passive income If don't allow PR to buy ... who is going to pay a premium for the flat ... then how Sporean upgrade to EC or PC The logic is flawed leh, how high can property rise with average Singaporeans wages ? It's like " oh it's great news that property prise rise again, but average singaporeans wages still stagnant " . Yes it's good news, but paper value only. For now it's good as sell off will make profit, but don't forget sell high, buy also high. So end up those keep pushing up property price will really put a lot of pressure in average singaporeans which many had already feel it. What happen next?? In future still keep rising which average singaporeans salaries can't keep pace with it ?? By then when price too costly and there is no demand, good luck to those taking huge loan on property lor.

Skunk Clutched August 8, 2013 Share August 8, 2013 Longtime bo see, where have you been enjoying life? Life not so gd now, running a failing biz lol I think u r too harsh with ordinary ppl...u r blessed with ability to make gd money n blessed with foresight to make wise economic decisions with your money...but primarily it's even possible because of your earning power. If I can, I also wish to buy car in cash, buy houses that I only pay with 10% of my income n still be able to save 50% of my income every month. But it's clearly not possible because I, like many others, lack money-making ability. If want to blame, blame my forefathers for lousy genes, blame myself for laziness n blame God why didn't make me like Warren Buffet :p lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djim 1st Gear August 8, 2013 Share August 8, 2013 just a quick question for those who have rented out their properties, say if your agent found a tenant for you and you paid commission then, upon renewal do you still need the agent to continue with the rental?, do you need to pay full commission for the two years rental? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
