Having a home loan is better because it comes with long tenures exceeding even 10 years. This allows you to make a proper plan for your repayment of debt in an appropriate manner. A borrower can always choose to close their loan before the tenure ends, however, this varies bank to bank. Some banks have a lock-in period, which means you cannot end your loan even if you have the lump sum amount to fulfill it.

Home loans are given depending upon your age, your salary status, your  capability of repayment and background checks of previous loans. If your credit score is very good then getting an home loan is very easy as your bank is assured that you are trustworthy and capable enough to repay your debt.
