Income of 2 ppl: ~ 5 k
Rental plus utilities: 500 per month
Petrol + touch n go : 130
Phone: Using prepaid top up 10 per mth
Parent: 0 per month as still studying so parent said tak payah bagi
Makan: 700 per mth
Medical: 300 per mth (gf facial)

Ptptn hutang: 28k (repay around 2-2.5k) and gf free ptptn
Debt for car n house: non

Hopefully after graduation (estimated to be mid of nx year) can double the current salary.

Do u think we are ready to buy a house around 300-400k?

ya....with such a low monthly expenses and also 150k in saving, you are certainly ready to buy a house. unfortunately, its vy hard for you to get a property at the range of 300-400k nowadays.

If I come out to work next year, should I work for 3 years first before get a house or buy a house after work for half year. I believe that we will be able to accumulate 6k + 6k = 12 k per mth. With 12k how much loan I will be able to get from bank for 300 to 400k property?
