No, I think Kaipoh very smart.
1. They can loan up to 90% for malaysia properties, definitely can loan 90% if got 2 names. If Kaipoh is paying 10% for a 10-years lease (legally binding), i think it is a good deal.
2 If Kaipoh finances the loan instalment under the beautiful agents name, 'he can just pay minimal amount and serve the interests
3. In fact, if market super big crashes (not likely), Kaipoh can ignore loan if his name is not included in the loan.
4. Malaysians are also eligible to buy <$500K condos in Iskandar = more cheap deals to choose from.
5. If Kaipoh keeps her as mistress = more goodies.
Finally it doesn't make sense for the girl to run away if there's only a 10% downpayment because of sellers' penalty
