for young sinkie couples who are looking for a home before and after getting hitched and devirginized, the best route to financial soundness and safety is to buy a brand new bto flat at a subsidized price, remodel it at a cost of $69k to bring it up to high ses look and feel, sell it at 6.9 years for at least a profit of 69%, and upgrade to an older pre-enbloc private condo with the proceeds. in future, the older pre-enbloc condo will fetch a higher price with changing times, ever dwindling shortage of land, relaxation of property tightening rules, cyclical shift in property market, and better desirability and more atas feeling of private home ownership. the last is not the least as sinkies care about their faces (but not faeces) and wish to show off to other sinkies that they are more well off and high ses. keeping up with joneses is a treasured and sacred sinkie behavior.
