how old are you? so i could count your dsr. if below 35 years old and your monthly commitment is 2k like what you stated and your monthly income nett is around 10k then shouldn't be any issue. but need full and accurate details in order to give accurate advice

what is the acceptable DSR by banks? 50%-70%?

wow... you really save alot if you are comfortable with DSR of 70%. Imagine 10k salary. 70% go to house loan, hire purchase and others billing. Only left 3k, petrol, maintenance fee, food, insurance, phone bills and etc... wow... really tight and that is for 10k, small potato like me even worst.... sad.gif

10k net salary would means about 14-15k gross salary, that's pretty impossible for a young potato like me too who is a normal staff that withdrawing fixed monthly salary, unless we can do our own business.. maybe wait for another 5-10years.

Let's wish our salary grow faster than the pace of house price growth. Lol..

Appreciate your advice here:

Assuming the interest hike in the coming years, how will this affects our mortgage loan?

1. Increase in monthly installment so that the loan can be paid off within the loan tenure, or
2. The monthly installment remained unchanged, but the loan tenure get extended until it's fully paid off, or
3. The monthly installment remained unchanged, but with the large lump sum payment at the end of loan tenure, or
4. others?

Thanks!

option 1.
in the product disclosure sheet, bank will give you an illustration if interest goes up by 1% what is your installment amount, and also if interest goes up by 2% what is your installment amount.

Thanks! Just recalled after saw your reply.
The contract did give us certain scenarios when the interest rate changed.

Hi Sifu,

Need some advise here:

My mortgage loan of RM300k with HLB is about 2yr old now, and will soon be fully disbursed.

The loan rate is BLR - 2.4%, which make it 4.45% based on the current BLR of 6.85%. However, I notice that the current market rate loan is fluctuating at around 6.3%-6.4%.

So, my questions are:
1. Is there any way to reduce my loan rate without incurring any charges?
2. And, can I extend my loan term from the remaining 28yrs+ to 35 years, without incurring any charges? I'm 26 yrs old btw.

Hi all sifus, would like to seek for some advices here. Appreciate it if you can help out.

Currently I have 2 properties under my name, one is landed (Johor) and another one is service apartment in Klang Valley. The residential loans are taken from 2 different banks as well, bank H* and bank M*.. With outstanding amount of 300k and 600k, different tenure left and with MRTA taken for both..

If I'm to consider the refinancing, can I choose to combine them under one residential loan only, say 900k loan if market value allowed? If yes, roughly how much would the refinancing fee be like?? Legal, valuation, and loan disbursement or stamp duty??

Would cancelling the old loans before expiry but after the lock in period, attract any legal cost??

Comments and inputs are welcomed.. Thx thx

1. The short answer is yes, you could, provided that the "cash-out" of one of the refinancing could cover the loan balance of the property that you are going to "consolidate" into the one loan account.

2. At 900k? Assume about 2% of the loan amount. To be sure, it is important to run some numbers with the law firm. The professional fees and stamp duty are fixed - for RM900k, they are RM8,692 and RM4,500 respectively. But there are other costs associated with the documents that will be put on you. Don't forget the valuation fees as well

For example:

3. The good news is that, the "moving costs" can be financed on top of the 90% margin, making your margin about 92+%. All offers can be reviewed before signing. Most people mistake the "moving costs" financed by the banks as the actual costs, in reality, they are just the max amount to be financed, if the actual amount is lower/higher, the firm(s) may withdraw less from the allocation, or you would have to top up

3. This is a good option actually, which I have covered in some of my articles. Consolidating your mortgages for cash, to settle some other loans including another mortgage to free you from the 90% capping for only the first 2 residential properties.

4. Discharging a property from mortgages always has a cost, be it to discharge so it would be charged to another bank (refinancing) or to fully discharge it as a full-settlement (the one you would pay off in cash), this would be "absorbed" (haha, no free lunch eh?) by the lawyer that will do your refinancing loan agreement (LA)

You can combine them into 1 housing loan

in order to do so, 1 of your property must have enough appreciation in value to cash out enough to pay off the other property outstanding amount.

Example if your 600k property is worth 1.5m now, then you can cash out additional 300k to settle off the 300k outstanding house and lump it into 1 home loan.

In terms of refinancing a 900k loan, it's estimated roughly 22.5k
if it's after the lock in period, you will not incur any penalty if you choose to refinance.

From the reply, if the 600k property cant fetch up to 900k now, then I cant really consolidate them together?? Can the loan be based on 2 diff property???

The current loan rate is a bit high at 4.0%, hence wish to refinance it to get lower loan rate. if zero moving cost refinancing, any idea on the expected loan rate for 280k loan and 35 years loan term? Which bank has better offer on this? Thank you.

You can refer to your current outstanding balance vs the 60k and see whether current outstanding is lower or not.

Hi Luis, can share what is the latest loan rate for the zero moving cost refinance package? say 300k loan?

Will be around 4% if you opt for zero moving cost compared to a normal loan package as the bank need to cover their cost for your legal fees
If you pay more every month then you will save on the interest, depending on much you prepay extra monthly
You may have to check with your bank on your previous prepayment made whether it was made correctly or not
*
I see.. all banks also at around 4% for their zero moving cost package?? if without that package, 300k loan will be at what %? Thank you.

Full address
Build up
Renovations
Current loan amount
You can start paying earlier but do check if the bank allows you to make prepayments during progressive interest period
What is your inheritance amount ?

Do you work in a normal job as well ?
What’s ur loan amount.

Good time to buy because interest rates are low so you can easily secure a loan

for new property, plan to take loan up to 850k over 30-35years, might add on MRTA or others... any idea the best rate now and which bank? how to make the rates even lower, preferred customer?

Affin MRTA tenure is only 10years, rather than 30years for UOB. So it is lower by ~10K based on the monthly payment provided by both bankers.

comparison should be apple to apple, not apple vs orange... what if UOB MRTA is also 10years term? what if you buy MRTA from other insurer yourself?
