All,

Could someone please tell me what kind of housing loan that we have in Malaysia?? Is it a recourse loan or a non-recourse loan??

A non-recourse loan means that if you do not pay your housing loan, the BANK can ONLY take away your house. The BANK cannot go after any other of your asset.

Thanks in advance.

It's a non-recourse until the day they sue you for bankruptcy. wink.gif

b00n,

You cannot sue a person for bankruptcy if it is a non-recourse loan.

Not that good with law terminology. But going by that, every loan is a recourse loan than as everyone has the opportunity to sue a person for bankrupt in the event that the debt is at the minimum of RM30k. wink.gif

b00n,

1) In USA, many of the housing loan is a non-recourse loan. This is WHY when the house value dropped, people just walk away from their house and you cannot sue them for bankruptcy.

2) Under USA bankruptcy law (unlike any other country), a person still get to keep his house and car.
