I see. I have somewhat similar plans as you. I am turning 30 soon and looking into getting a private property.

If you're a single working man like me, that's probably the better choice. I looked at my options for HDB and EC, and couldn't find any value in it as a single person.

$80k cash savings is alot of money, you can try to explore some options to invest and earn some interests or dividends before you get a girlfriend and settle down...
