And even agent fees for most. Also property aging and dealing with tenants can be irritating sometimes. 3.4%pa minus away other costs can barely cover also last but not least, for those using CpF to pay, they lose the 2.5%pa and still have to cover the 2.5% when they sell. Double whammy extra risk element. Many people dont realise, thats why being agents are so good money. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stage payment, so upfront not as much, 2. Holding period is 3 years (after seller stamp duty is no more). Sell once TOP.... If catch the right time ( like those that buy during COVID, could double the initial deposit paid. Tenants.... No need to deal with them. But that is assuming the mkt is going up. Wrong timing can make you much poorer and stuck with a hard to move asset. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
