Investment Advice

Currently, we are paying monthly for our home.

i wonder,
is this housing lone the type wherein, should the loner dies, the lone is considered paid in full?

Look at global trends and not just PH market ... buy GOLD ... bonds are not a wise investment for now ...

Thank you all for your input, appreciate it. Aside from paying off the homeloan and investing on safe instrument, how about paying off the truck instead? Currently we have 3, all of which are in logistics services. With the fully paid amount, i will have additional income to pay other loans. Now just want to have different inputs specially some folks here already experienced what i have now. Again, thank you guys!

The reason why you prioritize loans is that your money does not earn the same interest rate as your loan. It's like getting a much higher rate for your money now.

Pay of your housing loan and truck loans. By far the best decision you can make this early in your life.

Not many people have that opportunity this early.

Frees you up for further investments and risk taking down the road.

Same lang whether you pay off the truck or the house. Whichever has a higher interest rate.

Point is when you pay off your loans then you're essentially getting returns equivalent to the interest rate that you will no longer pay.

Just check the fine print of your loans if they allow lump sum payments. I had a 3-month long exchange with BPI because they were trying to charge me for my lump sum payment when my contract specifies that I shouldn't. Net, they confirmed no penalties but it was such a hassle.

When you fully pay off your loans you can use your assets as collateral if you need to take out bigger loans in the future.

There's an upcoming offer by SMC of preferred shares series J, indicative rate is 5%, or 4.5% net of tax, interest paid on a quarterly basis. Alternatively, you can buy from the market other preferred shares offered by Ayala, Petron, FGEN, etc.

Or if you like a little risk, buy your favorite blue chip brand in the stock market and hold at your desired timeline of 3-5 years. Do not buy speculatives.

Bruh, yung smc preferred shares yan ba yung sa bpi? Hindi pwede mag apply sa ibang bank?
