Nowadays easily anyone can loan upto 80% or 90%.
some can't afford 30% as Downpayment.

Remember to keep some money for minor reno & furnishing.

cody99,

You are MIXING with the WRONG CROWD. There are people that put up 30% to 60% on down payment according to survey done by "Personal Money" magazine.

Generally speaking, yes.

Not for me though. Im a big fan of leveraging as I like to have decent liquidity (if i could afford lah) at any point of my life to capitalize on any emerging opoortunities. If I had 30% cash to spare for my house,  I'd get the typical 10% d/p on flexiloans then dump the extra 20% $$$$$ in the flexi account. Save on interest and at the same mantain healthy liquidity position.  wink.gif

Pai,

That is a SMART move and I did that. In general, at least make enough down payment to avoid MLTA/MRTA.

tpl66,

Bank only loan you up to the amount that they appraised. So, even if you pay more for the house, they will not loan you the amount.
