Yes.

If one can owe the bank 1 million and repay timely every month, how much do you think his actual income would be? notworthy.gif

pls explain further on the debt tht ur fren is having, and by having a mil debt and able to pay back doesn't mean he has a good net worth, it takes one recession that hits ur fren to wipe out everything he has.

@jasonhanjk,
Er.... good debt and bad debt; debt is still debt! Also, U didn't elaborate the reason Y ur friend's owing the bank RM1m hence how'd we know if U were being sincere or sarcastic; I really thought it was the latter tongue.gif

@gavin_lim,
Yes..FD = Fixed Deposit and I believe interest rates on FD's fixed by BNM so it's thereabouts.

IMO, if the guys can borrow 1mil to buy properties today, 1Mil net worth is only a matter of time. As long as one stays prudent in managing their reserve, that is........

Anyway it is too early to judge whether it is a good debt or bad debt because it is still not the end of the investment and not for us to judge too. But what is the good thing is he got enough qualification while bank is willing to issue him 1 million debt.

Ahh, yes. Most people only think that debt is just debt.

I have to tell you this, there are a few individual out there will know their difference. If the debt you are borrowing will generate income for you, that is good debt.
Likewise borrowing money to buy an LCD screen to show off, that I would consider a bad debt.

Now, he owns some property and one of them is a oil palm plantation.
If he would to go through a recession, his net worth might be down, but that wouldn't break him.

tht's d reason y i ask for explaination on what kind of debt he owe bank before I assume anything (businessman also have millions of debt that generate $$ for them...), and yes, i know what is good debt n bad debt. I myself have few 100K debt tht generates income for me but I do not think i need to be congratulated. as long as u have debt, there are variables that can turn bad.

jasonhanjk,

<<If the debt you are borrowing will generate income for you,>>

To be precise, POSITIVE CASH FLOW. If the income is not big enough to cover the debt payment, it is NEGATIVE CASH FLOW. NOw, it may or may not work out for NEGATIVE CASH FLOW situation.

<<one of them is a oil palm plantation.>>

By the way, given that bank typically only loan people 30% of the plantation value to buy palm oil plantation, it is usually NEGATIVE CASH FLOW. No, I am not saying that it is NOT a good deal. But, a person need to have enough reserve and other cash flow to fund this.

In my brother-in-law's case, he refinanced and mortgage his house to buy Palm Oil Plantation. The interest rate is low enough now and the yield of the Palm Oil Plantation is high enough for the calculation to work out. It is STILL NEGATIVE CASH FLOW. But, he has other business to generate cash flow to finance this.

jasonhanjk,

???

Income from Palm Oil Plantation is fixed as per CPO's price with slight variation. Let's call this as Y

Payment to loan is fixed. Let's call this as X.

I just tell you that X is greater than Y.

<<so it generates more income to exceeds expenses?>>

The only time that this will happen is when the loan is paid off in 5 years. In this case, X = 0. You get pure Y.

I always make sure my property cash flow positive, treating it as a business.
That's the reason I always take 30 years loan.

Buying oil palm plantation to me is a business too, if it's run down due to lack of management by the previous owner. It may require the owner some time to turn it around to make sure cash flows in.
So your bro-in-law took a 5 years loan only?

jasonhanjk,

1) My uncles and cousins managed the Palm Oil plantation. My brother-in-law own a share in the company. So, this cannot be done unless you have someone that know how to manage this and you can trust them.

<<So your bro-in-law took a 5 years loan only?>>

2) I think he took a 10 to 20 years loan just in case. But, he will pay this off in 5.

Good to hear that. Another 5 years it's an income generator without the expenses to repay the loan.

If the 1 million is borrowed for investment in property that generate net positive cashflow and safely paid by your tenant monthly.
You should realised that, every month you are getting nearer to be come a millionairs, not to mention capital gain at the end of the process.

To me, good debt generate positive income to your pocket (the income u generated from the investment using debt > cost of borrowing), on the other hand, bad debt takes your money from your pocket...

for eg, if u borrow at BLR-1% (Overdraft rate) @ 4.55% to invest, whilst your annual return of your investment is fixed at 10%p.a.(assumption), meaning u r generating a positive net return of 5.45% (10-4.55%), so it will consider a good debt. Successful businessman often borrow to invest, by using other people money to maximize their income.

Correct me if i am wrong.
