U have to consider that age matters. I believe when u are in your early 40s, u can do the same thing too...
Try to get your HDB fully-paid first, It helps when planning for upgrade next time.

Hi thanks yeah true, forgot about the age thing.

I am working towards paying off my HDB loan, got about 3.5 years more of it.

interest rates and rental yield will be deciding factors for investment purpose properties.

actually i am of the opinion not to pay off the HDB loan...
use the cash to generate more cash (>2.6%) thru investments..

I prefer to be rational.
HDB loan is too good a deal to pay up fully.
It took me less than 10 years for the CPF OA to exceed the left over loan with some luck in CPF investing.
Currently, the passive annual return from OA is already covering the annual loan payment.
And, CPF account, with 2.5% interest, is perfect for disaster investment. Just need to wait..haha.

As long as asset >> debt, the feeling is already very good .

cash in hand = cash is king, cash offers u the ability to buy into GREAT DEALS!
Always keep cash,

If property market really crashes in 2013/14... more great deals will come by!

Watch for it!

If an average performer like me can afford to put down 40% cash to buy a 1 mil property, i believe many others can do it.

Wah, this means I am below average! Must buck up....

I think i am a few years older than u. When i was your age, i think my cash level is only half of yours.
