Understood, you want a standby cash for use when an investment opportunity presents itself.
If you choose a flexi account, then there wouldnt be any problem with that at all. But entire fund? No, once your loan balance clears finishes it will automatically settle the account.
If you are taking out RM500k, I suggest that you leave RM50k loan balance when you dump the money into the account, keep the RM50k cash somewhereelse.
got it.
worried that bank will kick me out if i park too little outstanding loan to them.
but generally yes.
i intend to do so.
now correct me if i'm wrong and allow me to illustrate further.
using your example.
assume refinance RM500k.
drawdown RM500k cash to me.
upon drawdown, i pump back rm450k as loan repayment (assume semi-flexi and not full flexi to avoid monthly fees).
so i still service full installment amount of approx RM2.4k per month based on RM50k interest chargeable, right?
upon my progressive servicing of the loan and when the outstanding principal reduced closed to zero, i apply for cash back out from the RM450k pre-payment and reset my outstanding principal to RM50k. and repeat all over again until my loan tenure is up or principal repaid in full.
so effectively if zero moving cost, i would get RM500k flexibility but interest based on RM50k for the entire tenure until i really withdraw RM500k for other purpose.
is that correct, boss?
please excuse me for my cheapskateness.
