I think its really dependent on your lifestyle and savings. You're currently already paying rental to your landlord - that's one source of expense. If you were to purchase a condo, you'd have added additional financial burden to your monthly income with the instalments.

​

Not sure when you obtained your PR so your CPF might not be adequate to sustain monthly instalments as well.

​

Granted it may be pay off in the long run, but that is if you are able to manage your expenses well and pay your flat off in full someday.

  • If you have the cash to pay downpayment. Yes.
  • And you can use cpf and cash to pay the monthly instalment. You will have more cash on hand.
  • A tenant is basically helping landlord to pay instalment.
