Good Loan Vs. Bad Loan

Not all loans are good or bad, it depends on the repaying capacity, whether the loan is for luxury or necessity, type of loan and reason to avail.

Now let us understand what is the difference between a good loan and a bad loan.

Good Loan

Good debt or loan is a type of loan which creates assets over time and the product will not decrease with time such as education loan, home loan etc.

a) Education loan

It is considered as good debt as the loan availed will serve the purpose of completing the education and become financially independent.

b) Home Loan

Home loan is a good debt under every circumstance. Not only does the asset value increase with time, one can avail tax benefits on the principal home loanamount as well as on the interest paid.

Availing loan for the second house is also a good debt as this investment is mainly to be given out on rent and can avail tax on the interest paid under deductions.

However, if you own two houses, one would be deemed to have given on rent, whether you rent it or not. So, income from rental will accrue on one of the houses for sure.

c) Business Loan
