Reverse BTO & Legacy Planning — A Late-40s Property Playbook | NOTG S4 Ep7

Video description from @notgpodcast

In this episode of Nuggets On The Go, Melvin Lim and George Peng from PropertyLimBrothers break down the property strategies available to buyers in their late 40s — from stretching tenure for better cash flow, to deciding between consolidating into a landed home or maintaining two condominiums.

They explore the “equity triangle” framework, where age, debt, and equity interact to shape long-term financial outcomes, and unpack how lease reset analysis can reveal hidden pitfalls in older resale projects. The discussion also covers the harmonised layout effect, the strategic use of 2M1B for multi-generational planning, and the concept of a “reverse BTO” — securing a new HDB flat later in life for retirement convenience.

For those weighing growth versus preservation, the episode offers grounded perspectives on timing, loan sustainability, and exit planning. If you’re in your 40s or 50s and preparing for your final major property move, this is one to take notes on.
