LTV is loan-to-value ratio (loan limit vs property value), DTI is debt-to-income (loan payments vs income), DSR is debt service ratio (all loan payments vs income). Regulated areas limit LTV to 40-50% and DSR to 40%.
๐ก Use our calculator to check your DSR too!
Choose fixed if you expect rates to rise, variable if you expect them to fall. Mixed rate (fixed for 3-5 years, then variable) is a good middle ground. For long-term loans, fixed rate is safer.
Most banks charge prepayment fees (0.5-1.4%) within the first 3 years. After 3 years, it is usually waived. Some banks allow 10-20% annual prepayment without fees.
