Li Lily,
Sorry for late respond. Double Storey Link (DSL) Property at resonable location now as you mentioned are all above RM500K. In order to evaluate your capability, bank will look into a few important criteria. To make things simple, here are some simple calculation:
Property Price RM500K, if you taking loan 90% margin and 30years loan tenure... with the condition that bank offering BLR-2.4%. Your estimated installment will be around RM 2,200. If your income is around RM 6,000 then you are on the save zone. Other criteria will assess is your commitment that you are having i.e. car loan, personal loan, credit card utilization and repayment record etc. If you dont have high commitment, then even RM5,000 income should be sufficient (provided your repayment record is good).
Should you feel that your income have not reach that stage, then you can either opt for joint applicant and combine income with your family members, spouse etc. However the relationship must be justifiable.
Talking about the savings, lets say if your months installment is RM 2,200 and your saving account can shows 3-6months to support your coming installment then your case is a solid case for an approval.
