"The flashback of the government's success on the reshuffling of the LTV rules in effect from August 2016 has had a positive impact: after the easing, mortgage growth in the following month increased 6.21 percent to 6.48 percent (year-on-year Based on the type, KPR type 22-70 and KPA under type 21 experienced the highest growth, "said Country Manager Rumah.com., Wasudewan via press release in Jakarta (17/08/2017).

In addition to the down payment issue, other reasons are causing the community yet
Applying for property loans is because it is still tied to other installments such as vehicles. Though viewed from the order of priority, which includes the primary needs are homes, not vehicles.
Another factor is not being able to repay property every month, does not require credit loans for the purchase of property, until it does not qualify for credit application due to employment status.
