Assume property is 100m2, developer cost is RM3,000/m2, buyer pay RM5,000/m2, 100% financing, drawdown every quarterly, from first drawdown to completion is 24 months (total 9 drawdown).
If BOTH developer and buyer is paying 6% interest;
Developer's total bank interest payment is RM25,425 vs Buyer's RM42,375.
If developer's interest rate is 6% and buyer's 4%;
Developer's total bank interest payment is RM25,425 vs Buyer's RM28,250.
As buyer is paying interest on selling price (RM500k) and developer is paying on cost price (RM300k), buyer's interest payment is hard to be lower than developer's.
scenario 1.
i sell clothes.
i ask around. confirm 100 orders for shirt + pants, then only i confirm to start work. but before start work i request the 100 confirmed orders to pay me RM1 to buy the cloth first.
hence i pocket rm100 to buy cloth.
i buy the cloth with rm80. use rm20 + bank borrow rm200 to buy sewing machine.
i sew the shirt and show my customers. customers ok and pay additional rm3. i gather rm300 now to pare down my loans and also use rm80 to buy cloth again and additional rm50 for packaging material. i sew the pants now. i request customer to fully pay up the balance rm2 before delivery. i use the rm200 to pare down my loans and deliver the product.
my loan peaked at rm200 momentarily before i pared down with new loan at rm30 and pared down again just before delivery.
my total interest chargeable is rm200 for a brief period + rm30 interest for a brief period too.
my base cost is actually rm430 + (rm200 + rm30 bank interest) + profit
scenario 2.
i buy rm160 cloth.
i buy the sewing machine at rm220.
i buy packaging material at rm50 later.
total borrowing =rm430 (rm380 upfront and rm50 later).
bank charges me rm380 interest for extended period and rm50 interest on short period.
completed and my base cost before selling = rm430 + (rm430 bank interest) + profit.
magnify that by millions and there you go.
now you tell me, which is cheaper?
and for scenario 2, don't even dream of getting a full rm430 loan to begin with.
