Personal advise, if you can afford to pay more now. As long as the interest they charge you is correctly count, do pay up. As any excess of the monthly interest will deduct the capital loan. The more capital loan deducted, the lesser accumulated interest that bank manage to earn from you.
I have a property that started building not long. And my instalment is forecast to be RM3K when the property is completed. Now so far bank have only release 60K. The statement charging me only few hundred ringgit. But I ady paying RM3K monthly. Tracking by excel and obviously show I save alot in interest. So I am rushing over time to pay as much as possible before bank releasing more $ to developer.
Tagging the most active mortgage specialist here to provide insight:
wild_card_my lifebalance During under construction period, which bank offering: can make extra repayment and those extra will go on to offset your principal loan amount.
Scenario:
60k disburse by bank at interest rate of 4.5%pa.
Monthly (30 days) progressive interest charged: RM222
You pay RM3000 instead. So RM2778 of the extra payment will deduct the principal loan amount.
Is the above scenario correct? During under construction period.
Thank you.
