The interest rate is the main factor plus a shorter tenor is always less expensive to the borrower
The applicable rate for both is 14% as for now. But the mortgage one is variable. Meaning if the law on interest rate cap is repealed or amended, I will wake up one day to 20% plus rate. I have been there before and it hurts.
Secondly,I don't intend to go full term with the KUSCCO loan. My idea is about freeing up and reinvesting cash.
Please let me paint the picture more clearer
My wife too qualifies for a KES 7 million Kuscco loan. Essentially am technically trying to "remortgage " Then use her loan to plough into a new project plus what l will "save" in monthy repayments as the Kuscco loan will be serviced at 95k a month whilst my current mortgage is serviced at 320k a month.
Assuming the new project succeeds l should pay off the Kuscco loan within 5 years
