Hi, just want to ask if there's anyone got problem when withdraw money from EPF to buy house. (Delay, application reject etc). I hope it goes smoothly as I am relying on this money to buy a house.

the general rule is which ever give higher % return, is the better. If you are a bumi, another good option is to take out the money (under so called month installment) and put it in ASB. ASB give about 2% extra than EPF.

But if account 2 interest is 6.5% and housing loan interest is 4.8%, does it make sense to take out account 2?

No spare money, take out lah.

If you have spare cash, leave epf money alone.

yes, that large amount of money from account 2 can save your cash flow.

Example if you monthly installment is RM1000, after take out all $ from Account 2 to repay outstanding loan, it might become RM500.

it save you RM500 cash flow per month + 4.8% interest.

with that additional RM500, your spending power is stronger.

not to mentioned let say after 2 years you sold the house, the money no need return to EPF, but can put it in your pocket.
