When is buying a public housing in Singapore (since HDB lease is 99 years) a bad investment?

Apart from the fact that it buying property is much more expensive as opposed to buying stocks.

An HDB flat is really meant to be a roof over your head first; it was meant to be - and remains - a form of affordable housing.

As such, older resale flats remain affordably priced as a whole; and we don't see it changing as the years move on and their lease runs to an end. Buying an old HDB flat can, and probably will, see your capital fall faster than a newer one; much in line Bala's Curve.

If we look at a HDB e.g. priced at $500,000. And since the lease is 99 years. If we look at this perspective of renting 99 years from the government, this will equate around $5,050/ year which is around $420/month. Hmmm?

Is there a significant difference between HDB and Private Condominium of 99 years lease old? Both expire in 99 years, the government will take back when the lease is up. What do you think?

Hi, am a noob at investing.. Was wondering if I should buy and sell every 8years (since every 10 years there is a financial depression), or should I keep my investment all the way for say 20-30 years?

Do you think now is the time to invest on condo for staying and release it after 5 years. (unable to buy HDB now). Plan on staying SG for at MOST 5 years only.Think it will not be worth of renting 5 years. Any 2 cents? Thanks ?

Would you buy a HDB flat that is 40+ years old, with about 55 years left in the lease when one spouse is <30 years old?
