I will be purchasing a 1m property, and I have 1m cash on hand.

(A) Should I take loan, and put the excess cash in FD? If yes, how much loan should I take? Loan interest is at about 4.5%, and FD interest at 4%

(B) Pay with cash

Which is the better option?

Thank you.

Uhm you can get a flexi loan and put the money into the loan account instead to hedge against the 4.5% interest and still got RM1 mil to roll around, feel free to ask me for any mortgage tips smile.gif

get a full flexi loan facility and negotiate for the best price.

dump in the full amount borrowed to prevent interest being charged against you but take note if there are any "early settlement" charges hidden in your letter of offer.

the benefit of a full flexi loan is that despite having dumped in the amount to the bank, you are still able to withdraw these monies out.

it is better to pay cash if it is for own stay, especially for those who are older or going to retire. peace in mind.
in case something happen to you, who will continue the installments? unless you buy MRTA but it is very costly and not worth it.

u need high discipline if put money in FD/ flexi account , you will use it one day.

It is very much depends on situations and individual.
Maybe you can review more info about yourself here to get a more reflective suggestion.
