    @3:15 - the part about investing in condominium and holding it until you are 35 to get your own HDB flat is not entirely accurate. you cannot buy a flat once you own a condo. you may want to go into more detail about potentially transferring the condominium to a kin or spouse so your property count is 0 and can then be eligible to buy a flat. you may also want to go into detail on the time you need to wait before buying a flat after selling a condo due to the recent change in the law.

    if one is transferring a property to others just to avoid the taxes - that move is no longer available.

    As a single, if u can afford a private property before 35, what potential reasons would make one go back to buy a public housing (resale) after? Capital appreciation isnt as good, rental yield lower & more restrictions(lock in period, cannot sell to foreigners) no? Also, wont u need to dispose your condo beforehand before you go move back to public housing?

    I would advise singles not to wait until 35yo for HDB BTO or resale as the capital appreciation is not worth the wait. Start off with buying a 1 bedder resale in the OCR. They are more affordable with a 5-6k salary. You can still find value buys around 750k-850k. 1 bedder has the highest rental yield. You can upgrade to a better location or bigger unit 5-8 years later when you have more savings and after your property appreciate. 1 thing i regreted most was to wait for 35yo but ended up buying a RCR 1 bedder in my late 30s 😂. That was about 8 years ago and my property had appreciated like 25% and i am ready to sell and upgrade to a 2 bedder.

    I'm a single, 43-year-old father who resides in Hamburg. If everything continues to go well for me, I intend to retire at age 50. I couldn't be happier right now than I am that I just bought my first house last month. I'm so happy that I made wise choices that altered my life forever.

    The assumption of all these million dollar condos is that you have a consistent or higher income for next 30 years(for 30 year tenure), which is definitely too good to be true. The job landscapes and political landscapes are so unpredictable to buy a condo if you are a salaried person. But well, only the next decade would say how it's going to be
