Also you have not looked at home loan tax saving benefits which would be a good thing for you
getting a loan to invest and getting a loan to service another loan is a terrible terrible idea. Gold loan interest rates are pretty steep.
If your emi is too steep sell some gold and pay off some portion of the loan.
pre-pay the loan in small chunks each year.
If you are thinking about taking a gold loan then does it mean you can afford the emi + gold loan interest + expenses on your income?
Why not simply let the home loan run pre-pay in chunks and focus on investing for long term goals?
