TS sure the basic term loan is really fixed rate? I thought fixed rate loan will charge higher interest rate, that 3.4% doesn't seem like fixed rate.

QUOTE(fantasy1989 @ Feb 17 2022, 10:25 AM) 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) I took shortest MRTA possible, save the insurance premium. Full flexi, already fully offset loan, but bank advised not to close account and just utilize the full flexi loan account for other purposes as nowadays full flexi loan account already extinct.incase shit happen ; it wont be burden to your family This post has been edited by iGamer: Feb 17 2022, 11:01 AM |

QUOTE(aPiT_OxyMoxy @ Feb 17 2022, 10:26 AM) If i may ask, how much is the different after you pay your principal amount. EPF dividend rate > Housing loan rateare we allowed to continuously withdraw our KWSP for this or its just one time? Not worth it to withdraw EPF to pay housing loan, you are losing money doing it.. c64 liked this post

QUOTE(unknown_2 @ Feb 17 2022, 11:34 AM) Was it RM10/mth for the current account tied to the full flexi loan account? I think it's well worth it if we truly utilize the flexibility and repay more (and save lots of interest than mere RM10/mth). |

QUOTE(darkddly @ Feb 17 2022, 11:50 AM) I think full flexi is worth it, they charge u rm10/mth but you can deposit/withdraw from the Current Account just like any regular account. Yes, that's my rationale also. But last time the other bank officer that didn't offer full/semi flexi laughed at my reasoning, he thought he very pandai U just need like rm4k inside to "offset" the monthly rm10, if my calculation is correct hahaha This post has been edited by iGamer: Feb 17 2022, 01:02 PM |

QUOTE(mouldybread @ Feb 17 2022, 12:15 PM) Basic Term Loan Seems like nowadays full flexi is not what it used to be, my dinosaur full flexi can offset 100% principal, no question asked.Is this still offered nowadays? Anyway i think the other 2 loan types are better Semi Flex Loan withdraw fee typically rm50 For rental, can only utilize whatever interest charged (when u have cash in acc the int charged will be lower) for tax reduction purpose compared to full flex Full Flex Loan Generally slightly higher interest than semi flex No charges when withdrawing typically charge rm10 per month for account maintenance Can only utilize 70% of loan for interest reduction purpose, check with bank if there is this condition. ie will still get charged on 30% even if you put in 90%. For rental income can utilize the whole loan amount interest charged (irrespective of amount of cash is in acc) to offset for tax purpose. So here is my opinion. If you have lots of cash and you want to put in more than 70% of loan, go for semi flex If you use a lot of transactions, go for full flex. Rental purpose, go for full flex. Do an excel simulation if you are not sure which is better. |
