    Ya, Mgmt people told me that my upstairs neighbour and their upstairs neighbour are good friends, so it's easy to talk. But then I am not friends with them becos I don't stay there at all.

    Yes, this is what our Sg condo upstairs neighbour did; they renovate the whole the master room toilet, heard it costs them abt 6-7K. But then it leaked again after some time. Since they had done what is to be done, and also had spent so much, we paiseh bring up the matter again. So in the end we...

    Sell Now? Sell 2 yrs later (RGPT 5%), or Rent Out

    If U need the cash from JB property to top up Sg property to reduce loan amt. I think it's better to sell the JB one. Sg is considered your home base, take care of this first, before you can even think of investment. I think can sleep better. When times are good everything falls in place, but...

    Sell Now? Sell 2 yrs later (RGPT 5%), or Rent Out

    It's easy to be a critic. And your better half happens to be one. But honestly, the way I see it, it is better to drag your better half to be fully involved in all the discussions and decisions. If things go wrong, all wrong mah, blame who? So that you will feel better if something really bad...

    No need to worry too much, we just pay when the bill comes; we will usually give them the benefit of doubt to the relevant dept who issues the bill, unless we are a developer... but I think it's quite unlikely to be wrong by too much. Anyway, this link might help in some ways...
