Getting a loan by mortgaging a property, is one of the most common ways to raise a lump sum of money whenever necessary at an affordable interest rate. While borrowing, one should ensure that you are not borrowing way beyond your income. It is always recommended that you take a loan with EMI worth only 65%of your net income.

Longer duration loans are not recommended because the interest that is payable on these loans are comparatively higher.
Another golden rule to follow while availing of a loan is that you should be sure to make your monthly payments on time. On failure to do so, you may incur a penalty and it may also affect your credit score. Thus affecting your capacity to avail of the loan in the future. I should also be kept in mind to take insurance on the loan to ensure that you and your family do not face any form of financial difficulty in the repayment of the property or even lose the property. The loan documents are generally longer and you must read all the terms and conditions of the loan agreement to avoid any unforeseeable situations in the future.
