QUOTE(lowyat888 @ Jan 14 2010, 11:43 AM) hope the bank negara dont revise upwards the BLR or else will see alot of people selling property due to high interest. property price will then fall for sure especially those with high borrowing, paying high interest and not even touch the principal. those bought a few property for investment eg high interest loan, tax on 5% property gain etc as seen this new year alot of thing or price will go up eg sugar, food, fuel, toll, electric, water etc this is not a good sign Waiting for that to happen  . Then can pickup some cheap auction property since the property market now is overheated. In fact China yesterday just raised the bank reserve by 5%, to curb the overheated market. BNM also have asked the bank to stop zero cost mortgage plans. BLR is an ever changing figure. If you sign a 30 year contract with BLR - 2.0, then the interest rate you are paying will fluctuate over time and you will be paying at the prevailing rate. If the current BLR is 5.5% then you pay 3.5%m if BNM revise the rate to lets say 9%, you will be paying interest at a rate of 7%. So in a nutshell the higher the BLR, the more interest you pay.

QUOTE(lowyat888 @ Jan 14 2010, 12:00 PM) this year is the year of the tiger, the tiger now is resting and using the tooth pick to dig its teeth waiting for the kill especially after CNY telling people to buy more properties and get more loan, when they are stuck, then the kill comes in  . wait for their expected target quota to hit then increase BLR for those just serving interest, in the long run their properties will be triple the property purchase price when their loan is up/over, whereas even bought the property at a high/peak price will eventually lose out terribly. only the bank earns as the property owner indirectly working for the bank serving interest only Hahaha, now sitting on a mountain of cash... waiting for cheap property when the BLR is high, then can buy cheap cheap.

QUOTE(vdfoo @ Jan 14 2010, 05:20 PM) but looking at the history of BLR, not likely it's going to rise too much, too soon I am an opportunist investor, so I have a lot of patience in waiting for 3-5 years without much action. 2001 & 2008 is a fantastic year for me when the whole world is panicking, now waiting for the property bubble to burst.
