Start with retirement cash flow

Map housing needs, CPF, income, healthcare, debt, dependants, liquidity and estate intentions before considering a sale, right-size, rental strategy or equity release.

  1. Compare staying, right-sizing, renting and selling.
  2. Check current CPF and housing-scheme rules.
  3. Model transaction and recurring costs.
  4. Stress-test vacancy, rates, longevity and care needs.
  5. Keep emergency funds outside the transaction.

Use current agency rules and obtain independent regulated advice.
