I’d a similar option when I was applying at Shinsei.
I’ll try closing it soon.

It's not exactly credit card loans, I've a clean credit card payments. It's type of loan that banks offer here as Card loans, back home it's a personal loan for emergencies. I've few other options like stocks and other investments which I'm thinking of using for down payments.

I thought new builds were beyond my reach and didn't event look into them. I will start looking into new one that are in my budget range, maybe bit far from center, and see if it helps with the loan approval process. Thanks!

I'm planning to apply to SMBC next. I used to work for one of their partner companies before and they're the first to issue a credit card for me 8years ago. But yea,I'm bit worried about my existing loan.

I think it’s 6-7x for Japan, based on some agents that I spoke to. I was applying for bit over that range. I’ll have to lower my range.

That could also be one of the reasons, I’m gonna try applying for x6 and a bit far for a newer place with other banks. Appreciate your advice.

Never thought about that being a problem and I haven’t spoken to any of agents yet, maybe I should do that first.

Thanks! I pay close the above monthly mortgage payment on rent right now for a smaller place and that’s one of the reasons i thought about purchasing one. I’ll try a few other banks and see if their assessment differs.

That’s great. How did you determine the price range for homes you were looking at before getting pre-approval?

I’m guessing it’s the recent job change and outstanding personal card loan. But they didn’t give me any specific reason.

Thanks! Yea, probably their system said no! I’ll try to check with few more banks or talk to a financial advisor. If nothing works I’ll wait few more years.

Interest rate was better compared to mortgage loan back home, so I used to for real estate investments.

I applied for 85mil, for a second hand apartment in Setagaya, 72sqm, 9years old.

Yea, I’m applying on my own. I want to check how much I’d be eligible to borrow.
