Let's say I'm buying a RM500k house, instead of buying MRTA/MLTA, would it be better(and cheaper) to just get a term life insurance which assured RM500k(To cover the housing loan)?

Mortgage policy payout goes to bank first.

Term life policy payout goes to beneficiary first.

It seems like term insurance is better and cheaper too, but I'm sure there are TnC that I'm still not aware off. Waiting for sifu to give their insight.

MRTA / MLTA / TERM / WHOLE life insurance premiums are basically life coverage of the insured. It has nothing to do with the property.

A policy is base on individual requirements and the reasons why there are few types to suit a person.

Affordability and coverage are NOT related. As long it meets insured requirements, is considered 'better and cheaper'.

Cheaper premium goes in tandem with coverage.

For example ...

One can buy any of the 3 types of car insurance with different premium...
1. Third party
2. Third party, fire and theft
3. Comprehensive

If owner can take up own risk, there is no need for any insurance. Same for fire, car, medical etc.

The purpose of any insurance is to 'push' the responsibility to the insurer.

As for property, the bank will proceed to auction when borrower cannot repay the loan, albeit a longer process. The good is that the bank can cont to charge interest until the borrowed sum is fully settled
