Hi all,
I'm planning to buy my first house... and very headache la.. My financial knowledge is like kosong la...
I don't know what to ask leh...
House price: 240k
Loan amount: 90%
Loan tenure: 25-30 years
Additional info: New house, still building.
what are the rates? and what should i know? and what is MRTA??
another problem is i work offshore, so i don't have income tax and epf.

MRTA=Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance
An insurance where cover your home loan outstanding incase you pass away, where your family still can own the house without need to worry for the remaining installment to pull back by bank for lelong.
Not really a good idea as when you want to refinancing/purchase new house:
1. existing MRTA will be burn, the premium you paid just simply gone.
2. By then you need to purchase a new MRTA based on your elder age, premium is even more expensive.
MLTA is a better alternative as you still can hold it even you want refinance/buy a new house, you still can deposit the premium based on your current age. You may surrender the policy and get back the money to cover the remaining outstanding of your home loan.
BTW, please check your PM. TQ.
