They may recommend debt consolidation loan to reduce your monthly outgoings.

Investment - Generally speaking homes appreciate in value by approximately 4% or 5% per year, however this will vary from year to year and from neighborhood to neighborhood. Your rate of return on real estate in Malaysia may be higher than many other investments you make.
