Too generic , however a quick check from the loan calculator shall be as following for 30 years tenure 👇

Rule of thumb, the home loan instalment should be cap at 1/3 of your monthly salary .

Hence 1/3 = RM 2245, your monthly salary should be RM 6735.

6735 nett also means 8.1k salary.. If follow this rule of thumbs how many ppl can afford property

There always other options :-

1) Go for unit below 300k according to affordability first, slowly upgrade to your dream house as the salary increases over time.

2) Use joint name & joint loan for the property purchase with your life partner/spouse/family

3) Go for longer loan tenure, drag as maximum as possible to lessen the monthly commitment

The main hindrance will be the upfront 10% down payment. Many will have missed out the 5% additional for the SPA, MOT & Loan Agreement. Total 15% upfront cash to be ready.

Go the Economy Faculty within your university, check if the Economy Faculty of your university is offering any Personal Finance Elective Course, enroll into that class. They will give you the real process of how to do purchase your house from location selection & financing + things to take into considerations.

If to buy for investment and rent out immediately.
For exact 2K loan, i would say 5K probably is good also.
Do take income tax deduction into account.

Buying New house (House/condo to be build) is more tricky, where we pay installment incrementally and getting nothing in return for 2-3 years.
Then you need to reserve a bit la

For the 1st house, normally ppl will buy sub-sale ready to move in. If buy new unit, the monthly rental + loan servicing concurrently will suffocate the young buyer.
