“Most people don’t get rejected because they can’t afford the house. They get rejected because they went to the wrong bank with the wrong paperwork. That part is fixable — but only before you submit.”

Our Services
Subsale housing loan
Buying a property that already has an owner. We match your profile to the right bank before you submit, so one application does the job.
Refinance home loan
Lower your instalment, cash out your equity, or consolidate high-interest debt. We calculate your break-even point before you commit to anything.
Loan consultation & DSR check
A private calculation of exactly how much you can borrow, using the same formula the banks use. Does not touch your CCRIS record.
MLTA insurance
MRTA or MLTA? We run both against your real loan amount so you can see what each one would actually pay your family.
The Process
How we work
A systematic approach to ensure a smooth loan approval process — start to keys.
01
Get in touch
Rough numbers only — income, monthly commitments, property price. That’s enough to start.
02
Understand profile
We analyse DSR, interest rates, lock-in periods, approval difficulty, and turnaround time across major Malaysian banks.
03
Prepare & optimise
Different banks treat self-employed income, bonuses and existing debts differently. We find the ones that fit your case.
04
Submit strategically
We recommend the banks most likely to approve you — reducing rejection risks and saving time.
05
Follow up
We track your application, liaise with bankers, and update you regularly until the loan is approved.
06
Post-approval
We chase the banker so you don’t have to, until your Letter of Offer arrives.
“Most rejections aren’t about affordability. They’re about applying to the wrong bank with the wrong paperwork — we fix that before you submit, not after.”

why look for us
Should you talk to a loan advisor before applying?
If any of these sound like you, a 10-minute WhatsApp conversation will save you weeks.
You found a subsale unit and the clock is running.
Your SPA has a fixed deadline for financing. You cannot afford to spend three weeks on the wrong bank.
A bank already rejected you.
That rejection sits in your CCRIS file. The next bank can see it. Going in blind a second time makes it worse, not better.
You’re self-employed, freelance or commission-based.
Banks read your income very differently from a fixed salary. Some are workable, some will never approve you — and the difference isn’t published anywhere.
You want to refinance but don’t know if it’s worth it.
Lock-in penalties, legal fees and valuation costs can eat the savings entirely. The number that matters is your break-even point, not the headline rate.
The risk of going alone
One wrong bank. Weeks lost.
A rejection doesn’t disappear — it lands on your CCRIS file, where the next bank can see it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Home loan questions from Malaysian buyers.
Is the consultation really free? How does FinPro make money?
Yes, free. If your loan is approved and disbursed, the bank pays FinPro a standard introduction fee. You pay nothing directly and your interest rate is not marked up because of it.
Will checking my eligibility affect my credit score?
No. A DSR calculation is a private check, not a bank application. It creates no inquiry on your CCRIS record.
What is DSR and why does it matter so much?
Debt Service Ratio is the percentage of your net income already committed to debt repayments. Most Malaysian banks want it under 60–70%, depending on your income bracket. A high DSR is the most common reason applications get rejected.
Can I get a home loan if I’m self-employed?
Yes, but the documents are different — six months of company bank statements, SSM registration and your Borang B tax return instead of payslips. Banks also weigh self-employed income differently from each other, which is exactly what we check first.
I was already rejected by one bank. Is it over?
No. It makes the next application more delicate, not impossible. We look at why the first one failed, fix what is fixable, and go to a bank that reads your profile differently.
How fast will CS Lee reply?
