Hi Guys,

I am a noob in property management, however, i would like to take my first investment in property.

After a brief research on property investment, i would like get your opinions (experts) on:

1) Is SOHO having a good rental rate? ROI?
2) What will you consider before your purchase a SOHO?
3) With limited budget , what properties will you invite beside from SOHO



SOHO = Small Office / House office

Best Regards,

u looking at the latest Scotts project @ Old Klang road?

imho, SOHO property would be a good investment if it's in a huge metropolis like London, Tokyo, New York, etc. Unless the property is situated in a very good location in KL (especially near commercial centres), i dun see any prospect in SOHO investment.

Is that mean it is not wise for me to invest to SOHO in malaysia? Do you have any recommendation for me with montly installment RM1500 allowed?



Thanks ya

He already stated the ideal location for SOHO would be in commercial areas like KL.

From what I know, SOHOs near mutiara damansara, and KL city center are good investments, and yields good rentals.

Currently, I don't think there is any completed SOHO out there in the market that we can use as a benchmark. Maybe Empire Subang within the next couple of months......

dont be greedy with 2% downpayment only.. later cant sell wo..
between anyone vested?

is soho really practical nowadays? i mean is there pool of professional really want to work at home and no need to go to office?
sorry, i am stucked with 8-5 working hour in a government office, so i cannot figure out how many of these kind of professionals or freelancers out there.

Yeah~~ That is what i am worrying now. Is SOHO popular for tenants...Is SOHO easy to sell..There is no a formal statistic to show the popularity of this type of property.

empire damansara last dec was good. now rm419k the one at old klang road 8xxsq feet face NPE. non furnish

The truth is - are there any market for SOHO entrepreneur?

In Malaysia - i'm a bit skeptical about the potential of SOHO.

with oversupply of Office space in Klang valley - why would anyone want a SOHO?

rent/buy small office outskirt KL , then rent/buy a house near that office..

Still cheap.

example - got a friend - bought a house in Equine park - paying about 7-800 per month.

Rent a floor 1st floor office - for 1k -1.5k in Putra Permai.

conclusion - unless - there's a SOHO market in malaysia - enlighten me where is the place, I would go out and check it out.

for now.. not a viable investment. (IMHO)

well..actually as i can see most of the soho now meant for entrepreneur or service oriented businesses. so is a viable option not just convenient but also save cost..
For employee..soho = work from home lor...

employee can work at home at link house or bigger condo also wat..

i was at iproperty exhibition in mid valley yesterday and i bought one as well...i think location wise is nice cause so near to mid valley...many chicks lolz......pric ewise...expensive loh rm330k for 700+++ feet soho only...but after 3 yrs only start pay instalment ok what lolz......

many chicks bought this condo or many chicks at the property fair?

he means many chicks in the property fair and also bought this property

yes bro both..... i saw one auntie bringing his daughter wow....damn hot wei....and there is this sales girl wow...damn hot... lolz...but seriously...i think this land is good to invest cause off the area.........

i have been to the property expo too and also very tempted for the soho but at the end i did not buy. The chicks are hot from the booth so it attract more ppl to find out their SOHO and their chicks.

daphyne hwee...one off the sales person.......hot chick wei.......lolz......i just hope soho scott will b good to invest...anyone else bought any unit...mine is block 2 22-16 ...

haha ok. did u buy the same floor?

i bought floor 22 tower b..... when i bought it there is this guy bought 9 same floor as mine...very keng much b big timers.......
