MDTA = Mortgage Decreasing Term Assurance
MRTA = Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance
So both are the same actually.

MRTA or MDTA only have one type, which is one time payment, not transferable, cover for death / total or permanent disability (TPD), coverage amount reducing or decreasing by years until zero at the end and 100% no cash value at the end of policy.


MLTA = Mortgage Level term Assurance

For MLTA, there is many type of MLTA available in the market. I basically will divide it into 3 major type base on the surrender cash value because this is the main different and main concern for all who take up MLTA.

1) MLTA with no surrender value
2) MLTA with non-guarantee surrender value (normally unit link product)
3) MLTA with guaranteed surrender value

For MLTA, premium is pay by monthly or yearly, fully transferable, cover for death / total or permanent disability (TPD), PA/CI optional, coverage is level/remain the same for whole tenure, and optional for with or without surrender cash value.

Yes, MLTA can be use to cover more then one property. More property = more coverage need. So, simply just increase the sum assured of your MLTA then you are covered for both property.

Yup,Basically MLTA is a life insurance.
But there is a needs to have another insurance to cover your debt (mortgage loan) in case anythings bad happen.

You might paying more for MLTA compare to MRTA, but the benefit is much more better then MRTA in many cases. As i mention there is too much type of MLTA in the market now, just take MLTA that suit your needs and budget. Some banker that join insurance company even force client to take MLTA when apply loan when they know client is cash rich. Then clients end up buying some expansive MLTA.

If anyone interested to know more the pros and cons between both, or quotation for MRTA/MLTA, just give me a pm. I'll try my best to serve you well. smile.gif

My family and I just bought 2 properties in KL, and were convinced by the bank to take out a mortgage (to take advantage of the low cost of financing). We are now faced with an issue of life insurance, MRTA, MLTA or MRTT. (Additional cost to our property investments  rclxub.gif )

a. Is it possible NOT to take these expensive insurance? If say, I upped the down payment from 30% to 50%?
b. My brothers and I (3 of us) are below 30;
c. Properties are not for own-stay but for investment purposes only, i.e. with a set time frame to be "sold" within 5 - 7 years

Advice from the sifus here would be GREAT.

a) Yes, it's totally up to you wanna take any insurance coverage for the loan.
b) below 30?, but still,if somethings happened to any of you, the loan still need to pay no matter what.
c) You may get a shorter term insurance also. like 7years MRTA/MLTA to cut down the insurance cost.

Pm me your loan amount and D.O.B if you need some MRTA/MLTA quotation to compare. smile.gif
