QUOTE(gashout @ Nov 12 2020, 10:54 AM) Just get something affordable. Don't become slave to your property for the next 35 years. actually i really doubt you can have early settlement within 3 years looking at the mortgage loan terms. Early settlement only up to 80% within 3 years, unless the loan you had back then don't have all these revised termsLike mine clear house loan in 3 years. Now enjoying no one chasing me for payment. It's really good to have your own place even a tiny one that you can call your own home. Lest you're being notified to move, chased out, and can't really decorate the place as how you want it. |

Rent/stay with FAMA until you inherit a house from your parents. That should reduce fear listed by TS.

QUOTE(poweredbydiscuz @ Feb 17 2025, 12:30 PM) No. A wiser way is pay the lowest deposit and take the longest loan, then park the additional money in the flexi/semi loan to offset the interest while able to access it. bila recession hit twice, and someone you luv got cancer, 2 times ops + treatment oledi cost a bomb. then gaji keja keno potong, mungkin you akan paham. during those days, I sold off my condo unit bila hit with financial difficulty. got another 2yrs to settle, with 14yrs installment. from there, gua bought another apartment unit in cash at lower price, with xtra balance to save for rainy day. untuk gua, shorter term, less paying for yearly interest. bila jual, dapat bigger amount... |

QUOTE(adamhzm90 @ Feb 18 2025, 07:40 AM) No right or wrong here.. Please read my previous post. I'm talking about putting the extra money into the loan (overpay) so that can pay lower interest and at the same time can have access to the overpaid amount at any time, instead of use the money to pay deposit at the beginning (which is gone unless you sell the house).Paying shorter term less interest paid.. Paying longer term lower monthly commitment.. Depends on preference This post has been edited by poweredbydiscuz: Feb 18 2025, 07:47 AM |

QUOTE(clockpulses @ Nov 10 2020, 06:10 PM) It'd been few years already, iam a very fickle minded whenever to decide buying a house. I WANT to buy a house because i want it, not saja saja, but Everytime i seriously thought about buying a property (own stay), i put hours hours hours of research and consideration. So many what ifs in my mind, to the point i gave up tbe idea of buying a house and going debt free route and save as much and enjoy life as much as i can. While you procrastinate until your 40s or even 50s to buy a single house.The What Ifs 1. I lost my job? 2. My salary got cut? 3. More pandemic coming? 4. if i buy a house can i still afford to do thing i used to do? 5. What if i change job or company relocate me somewhere more farther? 6. What If there's a sudden big increment of non bank commitment, like kids, etc etc 7. Age is middle 30, what If i hold a little longer, save money and buy house at 45 year old, then only eligible for 25 years loan. Donno can afford or not 8. Unexpected repair bill? 9. Will iable to save more for retirement? Above questions are not for you. At the moment I'm enjoying my life, car loan will finish soon, sometimes i felt too comfortable and boring. Can own a house make life less dull? Seen and heard many cases that many people were getting fired this year i suddenly become coward to commit. Even a high income like pilots can be layed off. Should i enjoy my debt free life? Do you have the fear of buying a house? I already fully paid my 1st house when I was 36. The second one just finish paid end if last month(Im 43 this year) Looks like you have an issue with delayed gratification. But I will tell you from 20s u til mid 30s my life is really on shoestring budget most of the time. Totally no expensive oversea vacation. Only when my age 37 onwards do I start to enjoy more.

QUOTE(ayamxxx @ Feb 18 2025, 01:27 PM) Of course. I pay lesser interest. The rentalIncome i dont have to offest with bank instalments anymore. Every year when I have extra cash i will dump Into the loan account and instruct bank to deduct the amoint to reduce the principled amount owed. Every few years apply epf account 2 lump sum trsfr to bank loan. Deduct principle amount. The 2nd props in fact I pay around double the monthly instalment amount the last 3-4 years before using almost rm40k epf account 2 to almost fully settle the loan principle amount. |

QUOTE(adamhzm90 @ Feb 18 2025, 01:18 PM) When I was young. Less income. But we have plenty of time. Of course tarik maximum tenure 35 years. Pay the least possible. Bujang time I just stay the smallest room. The other room I rent out. Over the years when income increase and epf have quite some figures. Just be disciplined and dont squandered it. I started paying more for the monthly loan. When received bonus, same as well. Everytime pay more, instruct bank direct deduct the principle, dont let it sit idle int he loan account. I nvr withdraw account 2 to assist pay mthly loan instalment. Really rugi with all those monthly interest. If apply direct lump sum deduct principle. |
