Don’t Buy The Second Home:

1. If you are paying heavy interest on your present home loan

If yes, there is no point in multiplying your payments. You should better clear off your debts in such a case.

Pre-EMI payments allows you to pay only the interest and thus end up doubling your cost of property. EMI payments allows you to pay for the interest as well as the principal amount. In such a case, consider paying off whatever you can and reduce your pre-emi.

3. If you are on a flexible rate of interest and the interest rate is increasing

Opt-in for repaying maximum of your present home loan. Or, you can also consider switching to another home loan scheme where you can find lower interest rate.
