A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return

There are people speculating a mad rush to sell off HDBs in the next 3yrs due to this upgrading rule. Wonder if it happens, what will be the overall effect to the property market...

Those who bought ECs will also have to give up their HDB flats.

A lot less upgraders?

Or maybe more resale choices for the younger generation?

Probably more cases of illegal subletting of hdb by buyer while seller waits for condo to be ready...

May actually make sense if current loan already paid up a significant amount over the years.

Yes it's not a good idea.

Usually a mortgage for investment property is serviced by a dual-income couple, so that if one loses their job there is some buffer.

In the case of each spouse servicing their own separate mortgage loans, it would be disaster if one of them loses their job.
