after clarify with my hubby, herewith more info, need advises help from the sifus here..

1 apartment and 1 corner double storey house bought at bukit beruntung > 10years ago.
Apartment : 59k
House      : 159k
Loan <>    : 185k

The properties there become 'dead' after the government built the airport at sepang instead of bukit beruntung.

Both the apartment n house got built up, so kenot sue the developer. But both of it almost collapsed as no one stay there at all for more than 10 years.

Hubby refinance his current staying house at KL to pay off the balance of loan for beruntung. If he dont pay the loan, i guess the bank will tarik his current house instead of his untung house.

He is paying 1.5k monthly to HSBC with a daily interest calculation. Now got 120k loan to pay.

We got cash of 70k after saving for more than years. Thinking of throwing the cash into the loan to reduce the tenure of loan.

We will renovate our current staying house in KL nxt year and we got around 130k from our epf accounts that can be taken out and planning to get some loan from bank to furnish the house.

Our 2nd bb coming out early next year too. With all these coming out at the same time, i dont know how to arrange the cash or loan....

can helps?

Firstly, it is a waste of legal fees & other expenses to refinance one house ,t to pay off the other. Why not just continue paying the UNTUNG's house. Try negotiate with the bank for waiver of interest or partial interest. Your hubby made a wrong judgement by buying into Beruntung, nothing can change that. Try disposing it, if possible even u make a huge losses. You don't have any alternative.

As for the cash u are holding, don't use all the pay the loan. Have some cash in hand in case of emergency. That is very important.

Another thing, don't use so much money for renovation, it is a sunk cost, doesn't really bring about appreciation to your house. smile.gif

Hi, I'm a business advisory officer on BLR management. I can help you to reduce your mortgage loan interest and shorten your tenure. My opinion is don't refinance because you may need to pay the legal fees and other expenses like tpleong said, and your new mortgage loan will extend another few years compare to your current loan. And don't use your EPF and your cash to pay off your loan (I mean trowing lump sum), save it in case of emergency use. If you need more info, call me 010-5443933 (Chester). TQ.

What's the hurry to pay off the loan so soon?
Can't u continue paying the installments, while in the other hand, invest some of your money else where and retain some cash in hand for emergency purpose?
