Have 2 overseas properties amounting to approx $2mil sgd. No debt, no life insurance, daughter is financially independent and son is in uni on scholarship with plans to go overseas for masters approx 3 years later.
Should I empty our combined savings now for the a freehold property with approx ~100k in savings leftover? Do not wish to take a loan due to personal reasons and also do not wish to invest in stocks. Thanks in advance.

I'm a real estate agent myself.
But yet i won't pitch buying a 2nd property in Full Cash. Instead if i were you, i will work out my objective with this investment that you're thinking of.
If i'm at your age with not much worries in life, i'll start planning for my retirement.
And when it comes to retirement, i would want flexibility and not assets that illiquid. Property is an illiquid asset.
And it's not going to compound as much as other assets you could possibily put into.
So first i'll work out on the appropriate expeneses that i would want to spend first when i reach my retirement age.
Supposedly it's going to be 65 yrs old at $50,000 for the next 30 years.
Means i have got 11 years to accumulate 1.5m. (Assuming complete withdrawal with no growth in capital)
Which is not tuff for you.
From 1m to 1.5m, what's the investment i need to do to reach that goal.
It means that i need to grow my asset at 3.75% CAGR minimally to reach that goal.
If i were to invest in a safe assets that looks at 50% bonds(BND) and 50% equity(VT), i should be able to grow my investment at a rate of 7.804%
Means my 20k will reach 48,804 in 11 years.
Therefore, my 1m will reach $2,440,200
With this 2.4m, i'm sure you're able to start your retirement of 1.5m even without neeeding to sell your entire FH property. yet still can sell at different batches depending on your needs. And still be able to pocket 900k for any "holiday retirement plans"
