Renting vs Buying a property!

[merri]

If you love and enjoy the company of your wife and kids

 

the smallest home is the best. If not buy or rent the biggest

 

place you can afford. Some people love their family so much

 

they go camping and all squeeze in a small tent.

 

These days house how small the eyes also glue to some screen... That's why you and I are reading and writing here. Tent is big enough, just make sure got enough portable battery packs else you will hear a lot of complaints from young and old alike.

Its ok to come here but don't be like those people

 

that have to create multiple accounts and talk to

 

themselves. If that happens its time to see a head doctor

 

before its too late.

I think if there are thousands of people in the same plight, the govt might do a lease topup.

Confirmed there will be thousands of people in the same plight as there are tons of old flats around.

How many HDB blocks that is older than 50 yrs old?

LKY said that hdb flats are assets, but with the dishonorable son, nothing is certain now.

I think there are lots of flats between 40 to 50 years old.

The problem is we don't have that stats.

 

Only MND/HDB has it.

 

Currently only those under SIT will see their lease expires 1st.

No need to have stats also can check the age of the flats ourselves. You can see many flats in many area are built in the 70s which the age of the flats mostly are 40 year old.

Maybe Toa Payoh, Queenstown and Bkt Merah.

There are some old flats in mei ling street transacted for a million bucks or close. The flats there are very old.

There are more locations than these 3 location. Like Geylang Baru, Boon Keng, Circuit Rd, Havelock Rd etc. Think in toa payoh alone, there are already lots of old flats.

There are some old flats in mei ling street transacted for a million bucks or close. The flats there are very old.

Think the flat which transacted for a million is not old flat. Those flat should be built in the 90s. Should those flats next to Queenstown MRT. Those are not old flats. Old flats are those further up at the food centre and market area.

There's still some time before the 99 year leasehold period runs out for HDB flats.  Quite a lot of time. So why is it that all of a sudden, people are all being told  that they will be cut off?  What's the rationale for such a move?

 

Is this another political strategy or a fumble?    Nowadays, we don't see rulers rule by principles, rather, more we see profitability, advantage, benefit, a self centred and inward looking culture.  Which is suddenly looking more to becoming autocratic.     Hence, I have no doubt that under current circumstances, this lot will come to a grinding halt with a shock to those who lose power overnight.
