For the condos, the collateral is receivables from the buyers (or their banks).
For rough idea, can google mortgage backed securities or collateralized mortgage obligations.
Those who read the book liars poker, should know the beginning of securisations.
Ha! Ha!
If only HDB flats can be securitised, wouldn't the business climate be better or worse?

Ya hoh! It's very difficult to rent a flat from Cheng Hu.
I chose to post the article here. After so many years, The JPMorgan still under-going a painful and expansive process to shake-off the liabilities of its sub-prime business. A lesson to be learned by banks too, along with retail investors.
JPMorgan in tentative US$13b deal over bad loans
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK — JPMorgan Chase & Co has reached a tentative US$13 billion (S$16.1 billion) deal with the US Justice Department and other government agencies to settle investigations into bad mortgage loans the bank sold to investors before the financial crisis, a source familiar with the talks said yesterday (Oct 19).
The tentative deal, the largest ever between the US government and a single company, does not release the bank from criminal liability for some of the mortgages it packaged into bonds and sold to investors.
That had been a major sticking point in the discussions, but the government refused to budge on that issue and JPMorgan felt it had no choice but to give in, according to a second source. Until recently, the most that JPMorgan was willing to pay was closer to US$11 billion.

Unless there is a big systemic crash in property market.
Correct. The risk and VOLUME involved for fee based income is better than risk principal.
Saying if DBS like it should have kept it is like saying developers should not sell any properties when properties are going up.
Securitisation is not bad per se. Strictly speaking listed equities are securitied businesses. Even in looking at value stocks we have to look at how the business is securities for eg capital structure, counterparty risks, etc
