Wonder by the time it’s officially launch, how many units are left?!
Good … now instead of paying money (i.e., rental) to the landlords, these people are diverted into paying money (i.e., interest) directly to the banks ! Good job Boleh-land government !!
i would like to have my own property under this program….it’s really a good news.
This really good for everybody 🙂
I help my father to purchased a house in Taiping and the loan under my name. Can i apply this housing?
kavi, I think there is no offering in Taiping.
I mean previously i help my father to get home loan under my name.
I read somewhere… the first phase of the pgm wil be for household with income below RM3000…correct me if im wrong
kingjoke, that is for another programme called my first house targeting low income group. PR1MA is targetting medium income group.
kavi, i believe it is only for first time house buyer. If you buy another house before I think you will become ineligible.
