On average, BTO owners get to pocket $100-150K in cash proceeds after the sale. This helps in the 25% downpayment for the purchase of the condo.
If the household income is about $8k monthly and above, you would be able to upgrade quite comfortably. Assuming 35 years old and $4k income per person (5 years later), you and your spouse can loan up to $1 mil (no other outstanding loans) with the current 75% LTV. Hope this clarifies!
