Kudos.
Try to do the progressive drawdown disbursed prepayment by the bank to developer, bro. Mininum past stage 2b&2c or further if cashflow permitted.

You will see the saving and principal reduction over the time horizon come VP 36/48mths later

what is progressive drawdown disbursed prepayment in layman terms ?


my loan currently already release 94k, based on progress. outstanding released amount is 79k. I dont have much in flexi loan as I spent most of them in downpayment, have like 6-10k, with additional 10k from bonus every yr

Bro can you explain what you mean by the 70% limit? I have a PBB housing loan (Islamic) and I’m planning to put a big bunch of cash from FD in there. Are you saying they only accept max of 70% outstanding loan amount paid in advance?

meaning your flexi loan can only offset interest up to 70% of the principal amount, if loan 100k, your flexi acc got 100k. they can still charge interest on 30k of the loan. it will never be 0%

do you know you still need to pay a lot money to maintain your condo?

yes i know, maintenance fee 200, and reno

but at least reduce quite an amount of interest in long run for the loan. paying 90% of the monthly installment to capital for the 1st yr quite syok

Progressive drawdown disbursed mean loan released for the stage completion. Example if spa 600k. Completion of stage 2a piling (10%-60k) stage 2b structure (15%-90k) and so on.

For highrise, these 2 stages will incur longest/most cummulative u/c progressive interest till VP. Therefore work towards to zerorize 2a&2b in the coming 36 months, the sooner the better prior to VP.

i see, well unless I work some good side job, I dont really have much cash to dump into flexi loan. only annual bonus and 12 month salary to dump into it annually, around 10K annually.

I also not keen on using EPF either since EPF higher interest.
