You can combine a variable type and a fixed type. Let's think about the best combination for you together.
What is advance payment?
I have a vague idea.
Advance payment is one of the methods you can reduce the interest.
By paying additionally to your monthly payment, you can save the interest on the principal.
Is there any charge for advance payment?
Depending on the loan you get, the amount for the charge or advance payment differs.
If you are thinking about advance payment, you should also take charges into consideration.
I haven't checked advance payment.
I'll study more about each loan again and look into the conditions for their advance payment.
How should I make my financial plan specifically?
You can best get an idea of your financial plan based on the rent you are paying right now.
How much do you pay for your rent?
I pay 150000 yen monthly for my apartment.
In that case, you deduct the amount of your future fixed asset tax from that 150000 yen, and you'll get a reasonable amount for your monthly repayment.
I see. You can't make your financial plan simply based on the property price only.
Unless you keep some money for your fixed asset tax or city planning tax, your expenses may greatly increase.
I see. I understand very clearly.
I might have to live in a smaller apartment, but I have no choice for the reasonable repayment.
Are there any additional services other than housing loans?
Yes. If you have one of our housing loans, you get some additional services.
For one, you can use our ATMs free of charge outside service hours.
That sounds great. It's very helpful since I usually use the ATMs at night or on weekends.
Another is that you can lower the interest rates for educational loans for your children.
Since we'll have our baby soon, I was thinking about planning educational loans as well.
I think it will be to your advantage if you use the additional services to your housing loan wisely.
What would happen in the event that I can't pass the review for housing loans?
If you have a special contract in the purchase contract for the housing, you can cancel the contract without any penalty.
You should contact the person in charge at the real estate company for details.
I see. I was worried if I could pass the review for housing loans or not.
Just in case, you might want to check how long you can cancel the contract without penalty.
Mr. Yoda, do you have a housing loan?
Yes. It's already been 5 years since I bought my own house.
Is it necessary to reconsider housing loans from time to time?
Yes. I'm thinking about the conversion of loans.
I just leave my loan as it is because I can't find the right type for our lifestyle.
One choice is not to convert your loan.
I also thought I wouldn't need to convert my loan.
But I heard that you can save millions of yen if you convert your loan well.
I know I should look into it.
Does it change that much, millions of yen?
I think I also should reconsider my loan periodically.
Mr. Matsumoto, you've lived in your current house for a long time, right?
Have you ever converted your loans?
Yes. It was really hard to make the decision what to choose.
