hi. currently i'm self employed. but due to some family issues,
the company is not registered under my name (my parents), and all my shop operations are run using my personal account (regret this)
although i registered a new ssm but it cannot be used (first, its less than 2 years, 2nd, the shop premises was leased to my parents' company not mine, and the contract expires end of next year, so i have to stick to their company temporarily now).
Technically i have no commitments, since everything is under my parents company's name, car, loans, etc.

so technically as an employee, ,my monthly salary is 3k, having EPF too. Am i eligible to apply for loan?
If yes, how much can i apply for and for how long.

Hi, what kind of loan and the loan amount?

In the bank's eyes you're a salaried employee either way. RM3K should be fine. Of course don't expect RM3K to be able to get you a RM1m loan.

You can and should start investing with as little as RM3K per transaction, ideally, the fees would be most efficiently utilised with RM7K - RM8K transactions.

However, a majority of people just keep on procrastinating and end up not invsting until very late in life. I suggest you start right away at RM3K and reinvest those dividends. I'm a dividend lover myself but you gota do your homework as well. Don't just chase high yield stocks without knowing the company first.

Start building your passive income (dividends) now. You're very young and with time and the magic of compounding on your side, you'll be able to be financially free faster than most people.

2) Hence why I put it lower than market. 6 months is only 4.2k. By doing this, I believe id get a more long term tenant. And also could control thier late payments by limiting utilities at stated late period. Lowering the risk of defaulting.

Also note that my young mind is being arrogant
Not the same place..

I own 2 properties myself with rentals in the region of RM700-750 so I hope my input is of help.
First of, my said properties are low cost apartments, if yours is as well, no one renting a low cost apartment will fork out a 6 month deposit for you.

However, if it is a medium cost studio apartment or something, you might be able to work out your proposed 6 month deposit deal. The market is a willing seller - willing buyer world. It'll still be very very tough, even well to do tenants won't wana risk RM4-5K on a unit. You might find yourself unable to find a tenant and that will set u back. My advise is go for the market rate and collect your 2 month deposit, if you're hardworking, act as your own agent and collect 2+1? tongue.gif

Hmm.. why did you buy those stocks? What was the basis for your decision.

Maybe you can start by shortlisting a few companies you like, read up on their annual report and financial statements.

Background:

I just graduated. Waiting for my turn to be a government servant in 2-3 months' time (or longer than that, who knows?). Currently working in a commission based company. First month of working raked a healthy 10k+ salary. (no bs) Second month around 3k+ and it's only mid of April.

Problem:

I don't have my own transport to work. My mum would need to get up early to send me to work which I feel it's a bit tiring for her. And sometimes she will have things to settle and in the end I'll be late for work. She doesn't allow my to drive her car. I was thinking to get a 40k+ car for the time being. Previously I tried to apply for loan with my mum as my guarantor but it wouldn't go through as her business is kinda bad these few years.

Question:

1. What should I do? Unless I earn another 20-30k (factoring in car price, maintenance, emergency etc) to buy the car in cash, I will need to take loan.

2. Can I take personal loan for used car?

3. I can try applying a car loan under my own name but I was told that I need 6 months payslip since my job currently is commission based.

I'm planning to get the car before I start working with the government cos by then I'll be too busy to even view the car I'm about to buy!

Please advise.

How about public transport? Try to make that work if you can. There's a good reason banks are not willing to grant you your loan.

So you started off with RM10K a month, that's great and all but the important thing here is consistency. If you can manage that every month then its great, if not then save as much of it as you can while you can.

Thanks Mum, will look through the link.

About financial planner, what types do we have? Usually the ones that i've come across are trying to sell some sort of investment schemes.

I do have some in ASW but the quota is always limited, which is a headache.

Exit plan: Housing loan is paid ahead for about 2 years over now (took a FD and put it in the home repayment account to reduce the interest, the amount is still there) so it should be ok. Daily expenses as of now is not an issue since i'm staying with my parents but i would prefer to save up at least 6 months emergency fund.

Will read through the link for more input.  smile.gif

Hey maybe I can help shed some light on financial planners since I'm one. Basically most FPs in Malaysia are trying to sell u insurance and mutual funds, they earn commissions based on the products you buy.

Some (like me) are fee only FPs to avoid conflicts of interests.
You can message me any time to talk about your financial issues, I do basic financial planning for free because I enjoy it. =D

No sweat bro.

In a nutshell, its a good idea to increase your loan repayment now because loan interest is higher compared to FD's.

Stock market dont play2 arr... if u kinda person that do saving every month deligently and then got some EXTRA, that EXTRA can play stock. Strictly dont ever play stock using ur saving money.

Playing stock are very big risk taker. U not going to play stock with 10 lots only rite? Of course u wanna buy as much as possible to earn more. If the counter performing, then u r lucky. But stock market got its up and down. Once its suddenly going down deep, that time arr i told u..u cant even sleep at night.. every morning 0900  to 1700 hrs u'll be glued to ur monitor see ur money fly.. sometimes, money can fly further below againts whats ur capital.

Really need to study hard on the counter u r going to park ur share.

So, put thing simple,
Got extra, can play.

No extra but using saving to play and wanna feel it,well, go ahead if u think im wrong.

If you use the term 'play', I think you're going about it the wrong way already. Invest!
If your stock prices keep you up at night then you're doing it wrong, and if your 'money can fly further below against whats ur capital' then you're trading with a margin account aka borrowing to trade which is a huge no-no.

Not investing is a much bigger risk than if you invest in good assets for the long term.

Just some clarification and my humble opinion la. notworthy.gif
