Bekasi bordering with Jakarta at the west, Bogor at the south. And the north with Java sea.

The city of Bekasi was called a patriot city because it was in an area that was once named Jayagiri which was part of the Jatinegara district. 

These areas became an important location of Indonesian defense from Dutch efforts to control West Java, through the north coastline.

In the Dutch era, Bekasi was still a district area including master Cornelis Regency, at that time people's lives were still controlled by Chinese landlords, this condition continued until the Japanese military occupation, this Japanese military occupation changed the conditions of the people at that time. 

Japan conducts japanisation in all sectors of its life, which is meant by Japanisation is the entry of Japan into Indonesia by held all of what the country does, such as requiring the use of the Japanese language, loving the Japanese flag.

Indonesia with eastern culture that has a dwelling is a must. 

But for some people who live in the middle of the city, it must turn into a dream.

Jakarta, for example, a metropolitan city that is full now is very rare to find new housing. even in the Jakarta surrounding city like in Bekasi.

The land is getting rare most of the big companies prefer to build vertical dwellings close to the city.

The aim is to fulfill the wishes of the people who want their place of residence close to their workplace, but there are still many people who want to own place.

Unfortunately for those in the middle class, it is difficult to find suitable homes, for middle to lower a monthly income of around 5 to 10 million rupiahs the to pay housing settlement is 30% of the total monthly income if more than 30% then the finance will not be stable.

If in the income of 5 to 10 million rupiahs, then the Housing Settlement that can be paid by the middle to lower class is 1.5 million to Rp3,000,000.

While the cheapest house price around Jati Asih Bekasi is Rp.450,000,000 and it is a house with a very small area.

Jakarta as the capital and center of economic activity is still the main attraction, for the majority of the population in Jakarta and its surroundings as a place to make a living.

It is not surprising that daily traffic into Jakarta is always Stuck every morning. not only is the problem of the work of growing Housing Settlement in Jakarta and surroundings a major attraction for Jakarta residents to choose the residential area in Bekasi, but they also do not want to leave their jobs in Jakarta.

In addition to the issue of the price of this place you affordable housing in the suburbs of Jakarta also offers a still beautiful environment. Such areas are usually the target of new families. 

Higher housing prices that make people do not have sufficient ability to buy them in cash homeownership, credit is one of the shortcuts to having a dream home.  

The bank offers a mortgage period of 5 to 25 years. the longer the mortgage period, the smaller the monthly repayments. Conversely,  the faster the period of the mortgage, the bigger monthly payments.
