1. The Interest component which is other people’s money
The interest component in this case will be S$3400
Now, let’s say I add the maintenance fees of S$ 311 to the interest
I add property tax of S$79 this comes up to S$3790 which is your cost of ownership.
When you look at it this way, a rental of S$4 000 versus paying monthly S$3790, not taken into consideration the downpayment that you will have to do upfront, isn’t it cheaper to rent rather than to buy right now?
What you think?
”Anne is the most amazing, caring and professional estate agent. She's is our first agent as we'd never rented a house before. She guided us with high level of professionalism and patience. Under her, we managed to rent out the unit to a suitable tenant, within a short period of time. She went through the extra miles to follow up with all the necessaries. The transaction handled by her was totally hassle free. We will not hestitate to recommend her to our friends and families.
