Ideally it depends on opportunity cost. If you are someone who is investing in Equity index mutual funds (expected long term return of 12-15%) then paying home loan interest (7-9%) in a longer tenure won’t hurt you. In the above scenario it’s best to reduce the principal by half at the earliest and then continue with your regular EMI such that you don’t feel a lot of interest pressure.

However, if you are more conservative investor who traditionally invest in FDs, PPF, RDs, etc then it’s better to close your loan as soon as possible.

At any point it is advisable to not have your EMI more than 30% of your take home salary.

Hope this helps and best of luck👍

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years. We have $300k in non-retirement funds, $260k of which will go towards acquiring the house. We have 2 kids and will probably reduce (not maxing) retirement accounts next 18 months to do this. Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.

Hi Fishes,
Need help with a tax query.

I am earning 85k/month now. Thinking to purchase a land of around 15L, not just for investment but to build our own house on it in future.

Though I can somehow manage it without taking a land loan. But I was wondering if I can take some to avail tax benefits.

So my doubts are - Can I avail tax benefits (like home loan) before construction? If I take the loan just to enjoy tax benefits then how much loan should I take at most? Have only ~68k EPF in 80C
