The banks are very sneaky. You pay more interest than principal the first 1/3 of the loan duration and then slowly reduce. That's why first 10 years your principal don't reduce much.
They know majority investors will sell off property within this period so they already earn enough from your interest. That's how banks are legal loan sharks.

QUOTE(mroys@lyn @ Oct 10 2023, 11:01 AM) that's the standard mortgage calculation for fixed installments. unless bank allowed you to have reducing installment, you can't have same fixed portion for interest and principal. The standards are fixed by the banks. If they want to change it they can but they won't. I'm saying they skew too much in the banks favor. You're paying around 90:10 interest vs principal during the first few years of the loan. Many people have impression that housing loan is similar to hire purchase. The banks want profit but this is too greedy. If ah long do this everyone condemns but if banks then it is ok.

QUOTE(mroys@lyn @ Oct 10 2023, 11:22 AM) it's not bank standard calculation but it's a universal formula for mortgage calculation. if you not agree, can you show your correct calculation? of course you are paying the most interest in the beginning because the interest is based on the principal which is at the max compare to at the ending of your loan period. You mabuk ketum ke? Again, if they want to change it they can but they won't. No such thing as 'universal'. I can't do shit because I don't have money to buy house in cash. You pandering to the banks like you own them.
