Should I buy a resale flat in 2 years or BTO now and rent till BTO is finished?

I am planning to ROM in 2 years time. Both my fiancee and I and working and we are wondering if getting a realize close to one of our parents would be cheaper (or more worth it) than getting a BTO now and renting from ROM till the BTO is complete.

Any advise?

Congratulations.

Personally, I would go for BTO and BTO asap would be best seeing that the TOP is getting longer. It's a (huge) discount which citizens deserve. Resale isn't cheap and can come with unexpected conditions e.g. extra renovation and maintenance.

But from a pricing perspective, would you happen to have an idea how much your rent will be? Can calculate from there i.e. (x years' rent + BTO now) versus resale.

Should I get resale flat, or bto and rent (for approx 3 years till the flat is ready), if the full amount is still cheaper than a resale?

Supposed that there are 2 flats of same size and both 5 years, is there any value in buying a resale DBSS as compared to a resale BTO next to it?

Me and my fiancé are renting a studio apartment and our lease will be up next March. We are planning to get a house but we did not want a BTO (need to wait 3-4 years). Should we get a balanced flat or resale flat or just extend lease and get a BTO?

My girlfriend and I are in the late 20s, and we recently applied for the TPY BTO. Is it worth it to stick to the BTO (ready in 2026) and rent meanwhile? Or should we buy a resale flat?

Is it possible to apply for 3-room BTO with my partner and while that is building, we buy a resale flat to stay in, and in the future rent out the BTO?
