Hi everybody...

I just followed the topics recently. I just want to share something i took for my housing loan. Beside MLTA, there exist another mortgage protection which is call MPRP (Mortgage Protection & Reduction  Plan)..
The idea is we have saving, protection and at the same time reduce the tenure  of housing loan..
My housing loan for example:

Loan RM220K
Face amount=RM220K (TPD,36CI,Death)
Monthly payment= RM1200
Tenure =32 years..
I took MPRP from this marvellous insurance company,i pay RM300 monthly.In nearly 21st year later, i will get about RM100K plus in my MPRP account and the premium will be taken to settle up the remaining 11 years(32years-21years) housing loan from bank!!!
I think it is a good idea to sacrifice RM300 now and get saving for about RM158,400(RM1,200 x12month x 11 years) later...

If you can manage your money wisely, i think there shouldnt be any reason you won't took MPRP man...

Email me if you're interested:syazwan.tsm@gmail.com

There shouldn't be a problem to share good things with all of u my frenzzz:)

Remember, THE GOOD INVESTMENT IS NOT BUYING A HOUSE;
THE GOOD INVESTMENT IS HOW TO SAVE/REDUCE THE INTEREST RATE OF HOUSING LOAN!!
*
You mean your are paying RM1200 installment + RM300 for the MPRP = RM1500 per month? I dun think it's good deal if so.
And same question, does your RM100k+ guaranteed?

Thanks for the reply everybody..

Attached herewith the premium table for your review..

The calculation is based on the lowest return according to BNM.

You can see in 20th year, the return is more than RM100K (RM106,124.00)

The return should be more which will definitely lower the loan tenure less than 20 years..

What i want to share is i would sacrifice now (RM300 x 12mth x 20years=RM72,000) rather than survive in the future

paying loan installment (RM158,400(RM1,200 x12month x 11 years))

At least i can save RM86,400 (RM158,400 - RM72,000)  rclxm9.gif
*
your sacrifice RM300 is mean RM1200 loan installment + RM300 for your policy total RM1500 per month?
Or the RM300 already include in the RM1200?

Your not guarantee return after 20years is RM106K, I get another quotation which give me RM214K (not guarateed also) at 20years also. With same amount RM300 per month. With this you may settle your loan in 20years also and also extra cash for you at that time, you get a house and cash. Will that be alot better?

MRTA or MLTA premium is calculate base on your Age, Loan Amount and Tenure.
You may pm me if you need some quotation for MRTA or MLTA. smile.gif

Guys,I am totally new to the acquisition of new house...Recently my family planned to buy a new house,from the developer...we had paid a 3k deposit...The house price is Rm225k...my father planned to take only RM80k loan,so paying  RM145k upfront....But today an Agent from a home loan consultancy company told me about a new plan....His advice to us is not to pay that much as upfront,due to this might cause in Taxation problem...secondly...the agent said they do have a package for the client to save interest rate....

The idea is roughly about borrow higher amount from bank...and don take any MLTA or MRTA,but use another type of insurance,which is called as MIA ( Mortgage Insurance Account)..the benefit of doing so is that the MIA mentioned is some kind of saving insurance,which at the end of the insured term,we can get back the money we invested in the mortgage account..So the agent told me not to pay the big upfront,but instead paying upfront amount,lets say 40k...so the remaining RM105k(RM145k-40k) can be use to pay the premium for MIA..then maybe after few years i can use the premium paid to pay off the remaining loan amount for my house...

Actually can anyone advice me for this? and my situation is,we planned to take as least loan amount as possible(to save interest)..then after maybe 5 years ,we planned to settle all the remaining loan amount.....

Ps : there is no consultancy fees or any charges for using the homeloan consultancy firm....and from wat the agent told me,i could save some legal fees by appointing them,as compare to the normal way,which mean we get our own lawyer and settle everything..the agent said they will help us to settle everything from the beginning till the end...

Thanks in advance....

Most likely will be investment link product. If it's a investment link product, bear in mind the return that they show you are not guaranteed. You need to double check for it. How many yoear will take to have the enough money to settle the loan? izzit can be done in the 5years time that you planned? Even for some guaranteed return insurance saving. The return will be guaranteed, but the loan interest will not be guaranteed. The BLR can rise anytime, so If in the case BLR rise, the earlier plan that show you may settle the loan in X years might end up at Y years.

Of cause the agent also right about some fact. If you pay more up front, you might be taxed for it.

For your case,you might consider using Flexi Loan also. The way is you take 80% loan, Then the remaining money that you plan to use to pay upfront earlier, you just dump in to the flexi account. Just after 5 year if you have the money to settle it, you can settle the loan without without any penalty also. Even that you may choose to just leave the money in the flexi loan and let it deduct the installment until your principle or loan settle. The bank will not charge you any interest at all in this time. Please note that the money you dump into the loan is just for interest offset, NOT settle the loan, so the money you dump in will not be taxed.

This is one of the way you can consider, of cause there's might be others way that may suit your needs too.
Goodluck in everythings smile.gif

the problem is...the bank manager told me that it is compulsory to buy MRTA....probably due to the age of my father(54)...and im not working..but as i know ,bank Negara had make it optional to buy MRTA? thats y i am considering the MIA i mentioned previously...which had cash value at the end of loan term,and the premium paid is recoverable.....instead of choosing MRTA,of which the premium paid is not recoverable at the end of loan term....any idea?  rclxub.gif

PS : the MIA is from AIA...anyone heard of it?
*
How many years the MIA will need to get back the money to settle the loan? is it guaranteed? Is it same with the 5 years planning?

If not, I think the better way is to buy a 5 years MRTA Or 5years Leval Term (both also very cheap only) and then just settle the loan in 5years time as your planning.

actually the 5 years plan to settle the entire home loan is just an example...but for sure my family will not wan to wait until the whole tenure term to end,so we probably will settle it in between the tenure period...the problem im facing now is...i do not know whether i should trust this agent,about this MIA....thats why im trying to check the existence of this product (MIA)..i tried to call AIA just now...but no one pick up my phone...anyone here working for AIA ? or did heard bout this product?

from wat the agent told me....after a particular years,we can take out 70% of the accumulated premium we paid,to pay off partially or the whole loan amount....if we did not do so,at the end of the tenure term,we are still able to recover the full premium we paid ,plus an interest earned from the mortgage account.....so from what MIA offering and its benefits,it sounds very good ...but i am just afraid this could be a cheating product,which mean AIA did not offer this kind of mortgage product?
*
Maybe the MIA is just another term/name of AIA's product that the agent use to convince and sell together with the loan.
If you wanna know clearly, ask the agent what's the product name in AIA's website. Or you ask him to show you a quotation for the surrender value. Then you can check it from the AIA's website or counter.
In the quotation you should able to see the surrender value at different years. And there will be a words GUARANTEED if the return is guaranteed.
If not, then the value is just a projected value that base on pass years record.

Even in Hong Leong Insurance we do have the same similar product also. If you interest to know the benefit between Hong Leong and AIA, you may contact me also. I can make a quotation and compare both for you too. No harm to know more different product right smile.gif

Donno about all these MIA and MLTA, sounds very not worth it for me.

If want life insurance, get a proper life insurance. For house insurance MRTA is good enough.

I think these MIA and MLTA are sort of not good deal, because I guess they end when you finish pay the loan. But that's the time you really need life insurance. Product packaging guys comes out with smart products like these, tie with house loan, because generally loan only last until retirement age, and within this period most people don't get sick
*
There are lot type of MLTA out there. Some of them can be use until your age 100. With Guaranteed return + interest also. Maybe you haven't found on that suitable for you. But i do agree MRTA is also a good choice if it's suit your needs. smile.gif

Ya,I agree with you when we finished the loan, that's the time we really need life insurance. But do you know we can continue to use the MLTA as your life insurance also? As i mention some MLTA can be use until age 100. smile.gif

Benefit for MLTA?
Can refinance as much as you like. Because you will need to buy MRTA again everytime you refinance. And MRTA premium will higher due to age. MLTA premium will just remain the same.

After settle the loan, where's the time you really need life insurance.
You can continue to use the MLTA as your life insurance also. And it's alot cheaper then you buy life insurance after settle the loan, because you brought the MLTA when you'r still young.

Within this period most people dont get sick?
We will never know, that's why we have insurance in this world smile.gif

All the best smile.gif

Wat is the difference and/or similarity of OLTA to MRTA/MLTA?

This is an example of quotation i've make for a forumer between MRTA and few type of MLTA. Loan amount for RM230k for 30years @age 26

For MRTA,

MRTA, RM230k, age 26 , 30years = RM5931.7 one time payment.
(MRTA is not transferable, no surrender value at the end of tenure and need to buy again everytime refinance)



For MLTA,

MLTA 1st type (1 to 1 guaranteed at the end of tenure)
Coverage for RM230k , 30 years tenure @ age 26
= RM303.60/mth or RM3643.20 if you pay yearly
RM3643.2 x 30yrs = RM109,296
Total surrender value at 30years = RM109,296 GUARANTEED
(You will only get back 1 to 1 at the end of the tenure. If you settle the loan in 25years,you will get lesser from what you've paid so far. You will still need to serve this MLTA for another 5 years until 30years total to get back 1 to 1. The another extra benefit compare to MLTA type 2. This MLTA will pay double RM230k x2 = RM460k if your death is cause by accident.The rest benefit is the same.)



MLTA second type (1 more then 1 guaranteed after break even years)
RM230k , 30 years age 26
= RM189.38/mth or RM2164.30 if you pay yearly.
At 14th years, you paid RM2164.30 x 14= RM30300.20
And at this time your MLTA surrender value is = RM30438
Which mean your break even years is at 14years.
(If you settle your loan in this time, you have nothing to lose as you already can get back 1 to 1.)

If you continue use this MLTA, you actually start earning some interest
If let say you settle the loan or continue using this MLTA for 20years.
Your total paid is RM2164.30 x 20yrs = RM43286
Your MLTA surrender value at year 20 is = RM50451 GUARANTEED
And if your loan settle at 30years,
Your total paid is RM2164.30 x 30yrs = RM64929
Your MLTA surrender value at year 30 is = RM87993 GUARANTEED (=Free 30years MLTA + RM23063 interest)

And the good point of this MLTA second type is you can use this MLTA until age 100. Meaning you can use this as your life insurance after settle the loan. Why? It's very cheap compare you buying a new RM230k life insurance at 56years old. And the return is GUARANTEED smile.gif



MLTA third type, Investment link MLTA
The monthly installment can be as low as RM100, but the return will be very little as most of the money already use for insurance coverage. Only left little portion will go to investment fund. The higher you can pay, the more money will go to the investment fund and thus your surrender value will be more at the end. So i can't show you the return as it's not guarantee and it's depend on the investment fund performance.

For MLTA Type 1 & Type 2, if I transfer it to a different house say after 5 years,
do i need to recalculate the whole tenure again to consider "end of tenure?"

For MLTA Type 2 got double amount if death by accident?
Also, what's the average per year interest if i surrender the value at year 20?

notworthy.gif
For ALL MLTA, you no need to recalculate again. You just keep on using it until the end of tenure/maturity years that you choose at first.

For example
MLTA type 1,
You brought the MLTA type 1 at 2009 for 30years. At 2014, you decide to sell/refinance the current property. So you just continue to serve this MLTA for another 25years to get back 1 to 1 o what you've paid.


For MLTA type 2,
You brought the MLTA type 2 at 2009 for 30years. At 2014, you decide to sell/refinance the current property. So you just continue to serve this MLTA for another 9years (for example on above post, 14years to break even) to get back 1 to 1 of what you've paid, or continue use this MLTA up to age 100 and enjoy some extra interest.


For the interest, given example 26yrs old @ RM230k
Your total paid is RM2164.30 x 20yrs = RM43286
Your MLTA surrender value at year 20 is = RM50451 GUARANTEED
So the interest will be RM50451 - RM43286 = RM7165 (and you get free RM230k insurance for 20years also) thumbup.gif

Please take note that for MLTA type 2, Different age and different coverage amount will have different break even years and interest. But once the quotation is make and you brought it, the surrender value will be black and white GUARANTEED. smile.gif

It's one time payment.Either you choose finance into the loan or you pay by cash yourself. Please take note that all MRTA is not transferable. Meaning everytime you refinance or sell of the property, You have to buy another new MRTA to replace it and will be quote higher price as your age go up. Any question or quotation feel free to ask me. I'll be glad to help everyone here. smile.gif

As far as i know, MRTA is 1 time pay, either cash or finance into loan amt.
But MLTA is paid on a monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly basis.

But the OCBC agent told me, OCBC have MLTA 1 time pay off. Anyone can clarify this?
*
Normal MLTA also can 1 time pay off which is by full payment, but the price will be shocking.gif . Of cause there will be some discount if you do full payment for MLTA.

I would like to know the OCBC MLTA also. If the premium is around the same with MRTA, then it's good news to everyone.

hi,

prudential quote rm878 monthly for 20 years to cover for the loan amount 800k. if let's say end of the day nothing happens.. will get back only 140k.

if take the mrta would be 45k.

which one is more worth it ??
or is there other insurance that have better offerings than prudential ??
*
Can pm me your D.O.B? I can make a quotation from Hong Leong Assurance for you to compare. smile.gif

Here is a example of quotation for a 30years old client with RM800k level coverage. Which mean through out 20years also cover for RM800k.
Monthly payment = RM 745.50
Total payment for 20years = RM178,920
Surrender value at 20years = RM202,704 (Guaranteed)
Break even years at 16 years. Because surrender value at 16 years = RM151,448 (Guaranteed)
while your total payment for 16years= RM745.5 x 12mth x 16yrs = RM143136.

This policy can be use for up to age 100 and can continue serve as a policy even you refinance in the future while MRTA will be burn and have to buy again.
This policy have have break even years of around 15years. So that you get back what you pay for this insurance in shorter time in case you settle the loan in shorter time.

For more information, feel free to Pm or contact me. smile.gif

Hi:
Here I'll roughly explain about MRTA, MLTA and Life Insurance. Hope this info will help those newbies to get a right idea about what they really need.

MRTA
One lump sum, cheap (If the premium is not integrated into the loan).
Non-transferable. If you refinance your property, you have to buy a new one.
It will be a good deal if you have cash to pay for the MRTA and you don't intend to refinance your property before you settle the loan.
No surrender value.

MLTA
You are paying more premium if compared to MRTA, but after you settled the loan, you can get back your premium paid, together with some interest. Looks like a very nice plan but I don't suggest my client to take this plan. To know reason why, e-mail me at cheahyang_0@hotmail.com

Life Insurance
You pay the premium on annual basis. Premium is higher than MRTA. However, if you integrate your MRTA into the loan, MRTA will cost higher.
Transferable. No need to buy a new MRTA when you refinance your property.

Normally I don't suggest decreasing term to my clients. Even though the loan outstanding is decreasing, but normally your other commitments is keep on increasing throughout your lifetime, especially for those businessmen and investors. Ask yourself, does your assets value and life value is increasing or decreasing over your lifetime? Unless you're telling me that the property you want to buy is the one and only commitment you have in your lifetime, otherwise I don't see a reason why life insurance is not meant for you.

Furthermore, it is advisable to buy life insurance when you're young and healthy. Some more it will cost lesser than you buy it later.

Any questions you can send an e-mail to cheahyang_0@hotmail.com . I'll try my best to solve your problems. Thanks!
*
Can tell me why MLTA is not good to take? email me at onn88@hotmail.com. Thanks
Actually MLTA is a life insurance itself. People choose to get MLTA because it's give better benefit then MRTA and it's use to replace MRTA. And don't mix together with MLTA and life insurance, because MLTA is cover for property and life insurance is cover for your family. It serve for different purpose.

It's simple. If you afford to pay extra money, why not apply a shorter tenure home loan to save your money. What's the return rate that MLTA can giving you? Effective rate will be most probably 3%p.a to 4%p.a only. Don't you think it's better use your extra money to pay the loan which charge you 4.85%p.a (ING Fixed Rate Home Loan)?
Maybe you can say your current home loan charge you only 3.25%p.a (BLR-2.3%) and you might still have some gain with MLTA. However, don't forget that this loan interest rate is depending on fluctuate BLR, once the BLR rise up, your home loan interest rate will increase as well. I don't think BLR will stay at 5.55% for the following 20-30 years. To view historical BLR, visit http://fortunesense.blogspot.com/2008/12/m...-blr-since.html .
If you say you want to use the extra money for investment which can potentially giving you 6-8% return annually, maybe I will agree with you. But for MLTA, I don't think so.
This is my own opinion, I don't say it's 100% correct.
If you have a second opinion, please share with me. Thanks!
*
I think you miss out what's the purpose of a MLTA or MRTA
Yes, we can always use the MLTA money to pay off the loan to shorten the tenure, but what if somethings happened to you in the middle time? Who will paying the loan for you? Using our life insurance money?

Of cause MLTA return will not better then the interest you saved when you put the MLTA money back to the loan, simply because MLTA is not for investment purpose, no point to compare the return with the loan. You buy MLTA to get protection and guaranteed a home for your family in case of anythings happened to you in the future. This is the main purpose of a MLTA. You borrow money from the bank, no matter what happen, you or your family will have to pay back money to them or the bank will take away your property. With MLTA, your family no need to worry about the loan installment anymore.

For life insurance, you buy it because you want to give an addition living fund to your family if somethings happened to you. Not use to pay off the loan.

MLTA and life insurance, both serve for different purpose. Although both are similar product.

Hello:
I don't think I'd missed out the purpose of MRTA. I just saying I'll not go for MLTA. Life insurance is an alternative to MRTA. My idea is, if you don't have enough cash to pay for MRTA, it's not a bad idea to take life insurance to protection your loan instead of integrate your MRTA into loan. Result can be the same. If anyhing happens to you, insurance company will pay money to your family member to offset the loan. Don't forget, your property will be leaving to your family if anything happens to you. So buying MRTA or life insurance makes no big difference in most situation. As long as what you can leave to your family is a property, not a debt.

You seem to misunderstand what I meant.

Let me make an example.
If I have RM1000, how do I allocate the money? Options are at below:
1) RM750 for loan, RM250 for MLTA.
2) RM850 for loan, RM150 for MRTA / Life Insurance
3) RM750 for loan, RM150 for MRTA / Life Insurance, RM100 for Investment.

I definitely won't go for option 1. MLTA is actually MRTA + Saving. The extra RM100 I use to save here, will always giving me a return rate which is lower than my loan interest rate. Not worth it. Remember before you start a saving (except for emergency fund), please settle your loan first. Otherwise your money accumulated will become less.
To be smarter and safer, I'll go for option 2, which can shorten my loan tenure. Settle this commitment earlier then I can continue with my other plans.
If I'm the one who can take risk, I can also go for option 3. As long as I have the confident to ensure that my investment return rate will be higher than the home loan interest rate. However, this kind of thinking is not recommended by consultants.
If choose option 3, you may be a winner or a loser. But if you choose option 1, surely you'll be a loser. Coz you don't know how to manage your money well.

The point i wanted to say, MLTA is for protection of my property, Life insurance is for protection for my family.It serve for different purpose. If you combine both, where is your family fund after your family take the money to pay off the loan?

Of cause if you look at the point where you can take the money to shorten the loan tenure, why not go for option 4, RM1000 the loan? The money you put for any insurance, also gain lesser then the loan right? Option 4 is 100% the fastest way to settle the loan. smile.gif

Actually MLTA itself is a life insurance already. Because any life insurance also can be use as MLTA as long it cover the loan amount. If you only have one policy in hand (only one fund for family), be it MLTA or any life insurance, it consider you are in option 2 already.

Hey:
You still don't understand. Either taking MRTA or Life insurance for the loan has nothing to do with family fund. You should long ago prepared proper insurance for family fund. And I'm not telling you to take previous Life Insurance (which is the family fund you meant) for this loan protection.
I mean if you want to buy a protection for your loan, you can choose either MRTA or decreasing term, depends on which can save your cost. I NEVER ask you to use previous life insurance for this loan. No Insurance Agent will make this stupid mistake.
My problem or your problem? You seem can't understand what I said.

Cool down , i thought life insurance will be use as a family fund as normal every one understand. That's why we use the term of MLTA instead of life insurance in mortgage to avoid missunderstand and mix up both. As i mention on above, MLTA is actually a life insurance, any life insurance also can be use as MLTA. So for me, option 1 or option 2 is both same, it's depend of what type of MLTA or life insurance you getting.

For your option
1) RM750 for loan, RM250 for MLTA.
2) RM850 for loan, RM150 for MRTA / Life Insurance
3) RM750 for loan, RM150 for MRTA / Life Insurance, RM100 for Investment.

How about if i can get MLTA for RM150? Will it be better then option 2? With the surrender value from the MLTA smile.gif

Giving an example,
30years old male, buying a RM150k MLTA for RM155/mth with surrender value of RM63579 guaranteed at 30years.

Can you recommend a life insurance (not MRTA) for RM150k sum assure for same client? What's the extra benefit,price and surrender value? How much you can save if you put the extra money (if have) to the loan.

Thanks for sharing, would like to learn more from others smile.gif

I thought MLTA is normally refer to life insurance with return (term life + saving plan). Seldom heard someone use MLTA to refer life insurance without return.

For RM150K loan, tenure 30years, assume fixed interest 4.85%p.a (lowest in town), The monthly payment will be RM792.

If I give you a RM150K term life (not decreasing term), will cost about RM72/month. Means money to save here is RM83/mth (RM155-RM72).

Using Financial calculator, the interest rate for the saving is around 4.5%p.a, which is lower than the interest rate of the home loan. Means the RM83/month will lose 0.35%p.a for 30 years.

Let say you add the RM83 into your installment, actually in 24.5 year you can settle the loan already. In another word, you should apply 25 years loan and not a 30 years loan.

Let say you apply MRTA (pay by cash) or life insurance (term life + decreasing term), your cost will be less. Means you can shorten the loan tenure even more.

So do you understand why I don't prefer MLTA (with return)?
*
Ok, from your above calculation. Using the RM155 MLTA, i will get return of RM49776 at 25year from the MLTA.
At 25years, my loan outstanding will be RM41828. (using fixed rate 4.85%)
So i can take the money from MLTA and pay the loan balance. RM49776- RM41828 = RM7948 extra i can get.

So in order to match with your 24.5 years. I paid extra 6month x (RM792+RM83) = RM5250

Which mean i total earn RM7948- RM5250 = RM2698 with condition i still get the same protection with RM150k and paying the same installment amount. Although i need to pay another 6month, but i pay 6 month extra to gain RM2698. smile.gif

And above calculation is base on 4.85% fixed rate. Which is a lot higher then normal mortgage loan rate BLR-X%. But i still can earn a bit. smile.gif

As i keep on mention, MLTA is actually a life insurance, as MLTA = Mortgage Level Term Assurance. So any life insurance that can offer level protection, we can use it to replace the MLTA. It just depend which product you think is most suitable to replace.

Sorry that I didn't read the previous posts. In fact I didn't mean to post so much things at here also. Now I just realise I shouldn't say not to recommend MLTA, but I should have say not to take any MLTA that has a saving component. Does it correct my sentence? Or how should I say to make it clear?

To : Onnying88
From the example you given, I feel something not quite right. From your previous post you said your MLTA has a return of RM63579 after 30 years (4.5%p.a compound interest rate from calculation). Then your last post says RM49776 after 25 years (5%p.a compound interest from calculation). Why compound interest rate for 30years is less than 25years? Do you mind refer back your quotation? RM49776 has a compound interest of 5%p.a (which is higher than 4.85%p.a for the loan), of course you can see some profit here.

Second, is this a participating policy or non-participating policy? If this is a participating policy, remember that the return is non-guaranteed. It could be more or be less as well. Hope that the value you provided above is not from the scenario with the higher return (which is not likely to be happened in most of the time).

Third, You may be right. Current loan with BLR-X% is much cheaper than fixed rate home loan. The reason is simple, you take the risk of BLR, therefore bank offer you a cheaper rate at the moment. However, don't forget BLR will fluctuate. If BLR going up you're going to pay more money for the interest and your loan tenure will be extended. If you prefer to take the loan with BLR-X% and you believe BLR will stay below 7% for the rest of your loan tenure, you can just go ahead.
*
The MLTA surrender value at 25years and 30years is correct and it's Black & White Guaranteed. Different years have different value. It's not base on any % of interest for the surrender value.

I do agree that BLR will fluctuate and 100% not going to stay as low as current rates. But since it's historical low interest for now, why not we enjoy the benefit of the cheap interest now? We can always refinance in the future. smile.gif

Yes, you can always do a refinance later, but are you sure you can get a rate that is lower than current rate? Moreover, refinance involving cost and it will always increase your outstanding. Whether it can save your interest is unknown.
*
Of cause it wouldn't be lower then current rate, that's why, why we dont enjoy the low rate we can get for now? But even you using fixed rate now, a lot of people already refinance the loan within few year time for many reason. Refinance later to fixed rate loan if you worry about the high rate.Of cause fixed rate also rise that time. Why pay for higher interest with fixed rate from starting while you can get for much lower rate?

Well different people have different point of view. Some people are not risk taker and will prefer for somethings that they know for the future, in this case Fixed rate loan. There is pros and cons about both type of loan. So it's totally up to the personal smile.gif

Actually MLTA is Life insurance (just insurance company use another name to confuse consumer).....

You should not use confuse this word, MLTA purpose is to cover your mortgage loan. Not to be as family fund as normal life insurance function. That's why it's better to have another name for it. When you buy any life insurance to cover your mortgage loan debt, you can call it MLTA already. I didn't see any problem not to use another name for it as you use it as different purpose.
