Re: To buy or not to buy?
Suggest you check you calculations - or refinance as you're paying way TOO MUCH interest - currently the interest is about 30 - 40% of the monthly repayment (and that is at the BEGINNING of the loan)Steve-R wrote:Your monthly mortgage will still be around $2k per month. Out of that $2k payment over half will go towards interest.
Which explains why my friend has an income cap.......he's married to a local.sundaymorningstaple wrote:The income cap are for Singaporeans buying new flats from HDB (Only eligible to PR's if one spouse is a Citizen).
If buying a resale flat from the open market, not subject to income caps UNLESS taking the mortgage loan from HDB.

Do not use Valet services to drive your car. They are not insured nor are you in an accident.
