My first housing loan is Semi Flexi Loan

Highest: RM325
Lowest RM250 which is now

My concern is that with salary increment like peanut, how to cope in the future if the amount fluctuate  cry.gif

if you really have financial constraints ..make sure you buy full term of MRTA ( alot ppl pinjam 35 years ; but MRTA just buy 10 or 15)

incase shit happen ; it wont be burden to your family

If the rate is low enough, then don't pay back so fast

Channel the money for better use

is it possible to add/increate the term afterwards?
only recently realize this "MRTA only 10yrs" thing

u meant MRTA? i remember can

but the pricing might more mahal because they will take your age as part of calculation

ask your banker

I took shortest MRTA possible, save the insurance premium. Cleared the housing loan early, money saved can buy a cheap car (but didn't buy lah).

If there is plan to early settlement then yes ..can take short 1 + semi flexi loan

instead of paying extra then ask for insurance premium refund

but TS is even considering term loan ..so better take as long as better
