I have a friend who work in china and manage to secure loan last year.

1) advise to keep some FD in Malaysia bank so that success rate will be higher. In my friend case, he buy RM700k house and his FD is RM200 to RM300k

2) his document only accepted by certain bank due to it is in chinese. He checked around with the banks before searching house. Just check around with the bank for your case / situation before searching house.

3) or you can look for some mortgage loan agents, they can advise you base on your case.
