Do you really need all 3 bedrooms? If you can spare 1, I suggest you may knock down the walls of the first bedroom to make living room bigger. Cuz the layout is slightly different from other places where people can mount their TV on the wall near the living room window whereas this you can only mount on bomb shelter's wall. My friend is living there and he has to put dining area adjacent to the living room window. Whatever food prepared in the kitchen has to cross the TV/sofa area and it's a real hassle. Unless I absolutely need all 3 bedrooms, I would sacrifice 1 bedroom to make the living room bigger. It will look a lot spacious. But that's just me.

Not thinking of private as I think hdb is more convenient (e.g. near food centre, supermarket, bus and mrt, etc). I know each rental lease is up to 3 years. I am considering the possibility of renewing the 3 year lease for 3-4 times. Speaking of the MOP, of course I'm talking about owners who have hdb approval for renting out whole flats.

I'm looking at the possibility of renting a whole flat for long periods of time. As I'm single under 35, I cannot buy my own flat, hence the thought of long term rental till I can buy one. It'll be a little more than 10 years before I reach 35. Not very financially efficient but I can handle that. Do owners even thought of put their flats up for rent for so long?
