Hey Pai, sorry if I was abit harsh on you on your first posts. I was rather overly-concerned about the future.
But I really must and must thank you (and Phoeni_142 too) for the contributions.

I felt that your idea is rather suitable to my conditions. I will work on it for this one .

I'm turning 26 this year and I never worry about buying properties. I'm curious...since you are not planning to buy anytime soon, why do you open a thread? The correct answer now might be not in the near future, all depending on the economy situation. Like now, the BLR rate is so low....so it is advisable to get as much loan as possible. But if maybe the BLR increase near future....this might not be the answer or the suitable solution. Just act according to the situation. Anyway, I know it is possible to get loan more than 100%. A lot of people have been doing this, and I assume, this Najib guy will come out wif some plan to help the property developer. Else, we can all wait to get bargain soon drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

Not entirely true.
FD usually one keeps for short period of time, however properties tends to be kept for a more longer period of time unless we're talking about "flipping" techniques. Than again considering the amount of money one needs to put in for the upkeep of the property (if it's not rented out), one could have an illusion that it's profitable because haven't include the amount of money spent vs amount of money received back.

The problem with subprime is because everyone has the mentality that property prices would always appreciate. The banks sees little risk in it thus when the bubble pops - bye bye.

True. And another thing is most people think that the price can either go up or worst case remain, not knowing that sometimes the developer might even sell at loss, if business still not doing good. I've seen a lot of this case,but probably I'm not staying in KL which is immune to this smile.gif
