If Jacboy is an expat in a foreign coy earning in USD, euros or pounds, he could have easily saved rm100k p/a. O&G is another industry that pays well, some 24-25 yr olds can easily make 20k-30 p/m.

So lets not accuse when we dont know the whole truth. And just bcoz you dont know any yuppies who earns that much, it doesnt mean there isnt.

So ppl, be mature n keep an open mind.

U r right, but having 400k in the bank is hardly rich. Buy one cash car and house, u'll left with nothing.

pls explain further on the debt tht ur fren is having, and by having a mil debt and able to pay back doesn't mean he has a good net worth, it takes one recession that hits ur fren to wipe out everything he has.

IMO, if the guys can borrow 1mil to buy properties today, 1Mil net worth is only a matter of time. As long as one stays prudent in managing their reserve, that is........

If the 1 million is borrowed for investment in property that generate net positive cashflow and safely paid by your tenant monthly.
You should realised that, every month you are getting nearer to be come a millionairs, not to mention capital gain at the end of the process.

Precisely.

It doesnt take a genius to end up as millionaires in properties. As property investors, patience is a more important than the brain......

pool, u've got significant earning power. I think the above doesnt tell us 2 things which is quite crucial, which are :

1. how much can you save every month?
2. What kind of return u wanna get from your portfollio?

But have to say I look your portfolio with utmost admiration especially when your car is less than 30% of your annual income. A lot of ppl would have easily gone for Beemer X6 etc with that kind of salary.

u right, the above statement is a falacy. The real statement should be :

that prices always go up OVER long term when it comes to real estate

Hi Pai,... not much, growing area and not in CBD, about 5.2K per month. I used half of one of them. Another 2 hypermarkets will be completed next year within 800m to each of them, thinking of increasing the rental then.

In the meantime, my tenants are great people, and well,... guessed I am not particular about the money, or not yet,... so I just leave them be.

What do you think of my situation ? I see you have given some good perspectives every now and then. Thanks,.. Pai,...

Personally, I'd retire and do what I enjoy most if I had your portfillio today tongue.gif

I dont think u need anything more, unless u foresee that your current portfollio wont be able to sustain your retirement lifestyle u crave for........

If growth is the objective, then buying another prime retail/shop lot might be a good idea.......... smile.gif
