Hi Sifus,
House
A Loan Amount : 298k
Interest 4.42% @ 35years
Commitment : 1,405
Loan Type : Semi-Flexi (already checked with bank, extra amount will be used to reduce principal)
What I am doing now1. I am currently paying 1.7k so the tenure has been roughly shaved down to 24 years, target to finish paying by August 2042.
2. I am saving 1k per month in FD for House
B (simple reno and the usual cost during VP), another 34 months to go i.e. May 2022.
What I plan to doInstead of putting 1k into FD, I plan to put it into my House A's loan, making it 1.7k+1k=2.7k for the next 34 months to reduce the principal faster, and back to 1.7k on the 35th month. Meaning total I put 34k extra into the loan.
What I found out1. By paying 2.7k for the next 34 months, my loan will be shaved down to 20 years and can finish by Aug 2038.
2. But since I need that 34k during House B's VP, I will need to withdraw that 34k out for that purposes (at the 35th month, around June 2022).
3. At June 2022, before withdrawing anything, my loan balance is 236k.
Is this correct?1. After withdrawal of that 34k, does my loan balance go back to 236k+34k=270k?
2. It seems like after withdrawal, my loan tenure added back and will finish by May 2042. Which in total, after so many hassle, i only shortened the tenure by 3 months (August 2042 --> May 2042)?
3. Is my calculation incorrect? Or I should just drop this thought.
I hope I have provided enough data for the simulation. Just wanted to check with sifus if my calculations are correct and this method is not workable.
