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???
