Same here, loan takes away your peace of mind. Probably invest those 8 lacs in gold or safer instruments, and try to increase that to 20 so that you will feel safer that whenever there is any issue you can easily pay back the loan 
 I also have a 60L home loan.

Hello folks. While I'd like to remain anonymous very much, here's what I can share about myself.

1. Working in consumer finance.
2. Love personal finance and helping people out with it.
3. Have published 10,000+ pieces of financial content in the mainstream media.
4. Wrote a best-selling book on money management. It was No. 1 on Amazon once upon a time. 
5. Lately been appearing on TV regularly for personal finance discussions.
6. Saved like crazy through my 20s and 30s, brought two apartments; have an 8-figure net worth mostly thanks to my mutual fund investments. It's not much but it's hard-earned.
7. My unrealised aspiration is travel and I'm working on it now.

No, I'm not selling anything. No commissions, no referral links, no finfluencing. 

Just want to talk, exchange ideas, and learn from you all. Maybe I'll feature you in my next book. :)

Ask me anything.

Hi All,

I am interested in a property in my hometown that costs around 3.5 Cr. This property can easily be rented out for atleast 1.5 LPM. I have saving of around 1 Cr, should I take a loan of rest of the amount ? 

I make around 70 LPA, 54 is fixed and rest is ESOPs.
My wife makes around 12 LPA.

What do you think ? Should I take this loan ?

How much maximum loan should I take ? Advice needed

Hi all,

This is in response to a survey I found on the app, where people voted mostly on reducing Tenure by prepaying their home loans.

As someone who works in lending myself, and in the light of the funding winter extending a few more Quarters, I would urge people to shore up their finances and keep control of your liquidity.

Be very careful when prepaying Home loans:
1. Loan is a service for which interest is a cost. The deciding numbers to prepay are the differential interest outgo (Loan rate-Debt fund rate) / 12 as a proportion of your monthly expense. It comes to around my monthly 1700 Rs for 10L of outstanding. 
2. DO NOT look at the total interest outgo. That is a misleading figure. Prepaying loan to save total interest over 10y is like selling your car 10y earlier to save parking costs or selling your TV to save Netflix charges. 
3. Prepaying is irreversible. If you run into cash crunch later, most probably, your financial standing and ability to get loans would decrease. Better to not prepay and enjoy the flexibility.

Are there any good YT videos, podcasts or articles which talks about how debt money or loans can make you rich if used wisely?

We are always taught that debt/loans are bad and you should avoid taking it or should just repay it as soon as possible.

Many rich people made money in the past using loan money at a lower interest rates and used that to grow their business or invested that money to generate higher returns than loan interest.

P.S - please don't recommend books.

I have saved 15L in the past 2.5 years, and i am planning to buy a home worth 50 L in tier 3 city. I want to take a Loan of the remaining amount and i am the only earner in my family. Considering the current situation of Layoffs/Downsizing etc etc in IT,is it okay to take a loan and solely depend on my income for loan repayment. Im 25 rn and we don't have our own house. So need one. What are the other ways in which i can buy a home.

Should i go for home loan

Data Analyst

I've got a package around 40 LPA with 4 yrs exp, with 1.8L as take home

Now, my parents are looking to buy a house at my home town (tier 2 city). It costs around 65L, so have to a loan of around 50L which will be around 65k EMI every month for the next 10 years

Also I'm passionate about working on side projects doing some part time gigs, share around 40k to my family for their needs. This house loan will have a burden on me for sure, do you think it's the right decision to take home now or maybe postpone it to later?

Is House Loan better early in your career?

Senior Data Engineer

Folks that got laid off and had EMI’s to pay like Home Loans etc. How are you managing it?

Next month I'll (26M) be taking a personal loan of 10L to pay off my family's borrowings. 

1. Any tips on managing the loan?
2. I have a good credit score so I can get it through a national bank like HDFC, SBI, etc.
3. Shall I pay it off in one instant in future or keep paying EMIs? I say one time payment because we plan to sell some property in future to get liquidity. 
4. Anything else I should take care of? 

I have savings of around 5L and I have a stable job for next 6-12 months (it's a startup so things are lil shaky right now). I plan to find freelance projects and increase my income. But this is the first time I will be taking a formal loan so it seems like a big and long commitment. 

Thanks!

I recently came across one of the videos on YouTube that talked about Loans against mutual funds.- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK7KuMzRm8U&t=3s 

Overall this product looks very convincing & it is so true that people sell their mutual funds when they require funds to make a downpayment on a House/Car.

The ROI is so low & this is an Overdraft, so no foreclosure fees for this loan & the best part? The process is super smooth of few platforms like Volt Money.

I am convinced that it's a good product & want to avail for some personal reason.

Want to check if anyone has used this & they are also positive about loans against mutual funds?

Has anyone availed Loans against mutual funds?

How much Home loan should I take?

Technical Lead

Hey Grapeviners,

I need help from all the experienced folks out there.

I and my father have 2 loans:

1. Educational Loan EMI - ₹6500/month for 15 years (₹ 7 lakh loan)
2. Home Loan EMI - ₹22500/month for 9 years (₹ 17.5 lakhs loan)

I am 22 and started my full-time career this month and wanted to understand how to repay 2 loans along with my father quickly with less financial burden. (I am the only child)

My expenses -

1. Paying Home Loan EMI - ₹ 22500/month
2. Investments - ₹ 30000/month
3. Petrol - ₹ 5000/month
4. Miscellaneous - ₹ 5000/month
5. Left with - ₹ 20500/month (lumpsum)

Should I create an emergency fund for myself first with the remaining amount or what else should I do, totally blank in this case?

My father looks after the household expenses, education loan, and his own investments. Not sure, how much he is left with at the end of the month as I am not aware of his income. (He has a private job)

P.S. - 

1. I spend consciously and don't have a bad spending habits. I love to drive (bought a car myself in Dec 2022) and climb mountains, so I manage to do treks every 3 months.

2. I am rigid about my investment amount, so may not compromise on that part.  

Would be forever grateful, if I get some helpful suggestions.
