Weird rite.... knowing how things compounded....

Many wage earning humans ,  still doesn't leverage on that and save $$$ in FD (safest option)  , thinking its useless coz  mere few % dividends  not significant enough. Better empty the bank acct each month to splurge / YOLO

Macam only sotong flexi got principal reduction. Dump more then pay less.

Other banks flexi u still commit to a fixed amount monthly regardless paying extra or not.

You mean installment amount, right?

That is a double-edged sword. Same installment amount when you dump more money means your interest accrued at the end of the loan tenure is less kot.

Yeah installment amount, my bad typo.

But you’re right, really double edge. It helps if one has financial literacy.. really helps out in being flexible

Bank loan interest is good so can offset my rental income and don't need to pay much to LHDN.

If not mati saya paying 25% rental income to income tax.

This is important.. to those taking >25 years loan the first few years is critical.. if monthly you can double up the repayment you actually need around 12 years only to completely pay the property.

Wanna ask if there's a way or excel sheet to do calculations to see how many extra money needs to be pumped in to reduce certains years of the loan?

Wow, you played the bank nicely and they don't like being beaten at their own game

Care to explain why the bank is considered "beaten at their own game"? Much appreciated

I have my own but just use some online calculator. Can use a comparison calculator with early settlement of home loan.
