Home Loan for Beginner

Well..first…actually….the one I call beginner in the title above is Me….yeahh…Me…and perhaps you are too….;)

It’s everyone’s dream of having a dream home and I’m no exception. I’ve got to think, and so have you, as soon as possible about my future home, what I need to do to purchase one, and how long from now I have to have one.

A standard small home in the urban area of Jakarta costs more than 100 million IDR at a very minimum. For an ordinary man like me, it’s unlikely that I will be able to collect such amount of money in a couple of years..or even probably more…That’s why I think getting a home loan is the most reasonable choice I could get at this moment…

For Indonesians….a good resource about home loan, and a lot of other stuffs related to property, is www.rumah123.com. They provide a home-loan calculator for estimating installment per month for a specification of a home loan provided by various Indonesian banks. The calculator URL is http://www.rumah123.com/clients/calculator/?properti=realestate.

There are plenty factors you have to think about, which could depend on individuals, before making your choice. Ultimately, whatever type of loan from whichever provider you choose, one thing is certain: your hopeful home must be the one you want. It probably couldn’t fit all of your criteria of a dream home, but surely it has to be the one that you feel most comfortable with. Be very careful in your decision, you really don’t want to regret the wrong choice of home later.
