- Higher Eligibility: Clubbing of incomes of more than one borrower would enable higher eligibility and in turn, would help the borrower to purchase a bigger house.
- Lower Interest rate: Some Financial Institutions offer lower interest rates with female co-borrower being a single/joint property owner as well.
- Lesser burden: With more than one borrower, the repayment of EMIs can be divided amongst them to enable lesser burden on one applicant.
