Well, l got a commercial mortgage balance of Kes 9 million which includes just over KES 2 million as interest. Which l service at 320k a month. With 2.5 years of the term left.

I have an opportunity to borrow Kuscco a maximum of KES 7 million repayable at 93k for 15 years.

Is it prudent I use the Kuscco loan to offset my mortgage balance, "saving" me Kes 2 million in interest, then use my monthly savings to plough into a new construction project. Or should Kuscco loan go straight into the new project

Or am l trying to put a cart in front of a horse

The way I see it, one is able to run faster and further, if they aren't carrying unnecessary weight. Do away with the mortgage and start on a fresh slate

Use the KUSCCO loan to pay the commercial mortgage...

The interest rate is the main factor plus a shorter tenor is always less expensive to the borrower

I am not competent to comment. Instead, i ask for advice on how you made it so far. My real estate development is yet to take off the ground.

I find it prudent to always use "other peoples" money to advance my project for as long as I can at the lowest interest rate as possible.
This means, I would use the kussco to free up more cash by clearing the 9million loan
Do it today! Tomorrow is promise to no-one.

The applicable 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 Meaning if the law on interest rate cap is repealed or amended, I will wake up one day to 20% plus rate. And I have been there before.
Secondly,I don't intend to go full term with the KUSCCO loan.
Maybe l missed painting the picture more clearer
My wife too qualifies for a KES 7 million Kuscco loan. So essentially am trying to "remortgage " Then use the her loan to plough into a new project plus what l will "save" in monthy repayments as the Kuscco loan will 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 yeats

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

Well Sparkly, You will sparkle one day. As Obiero said, take one step at a time and get wise counsel from wazuans whenever you're unsure
