What do you mean 'what ''happen'' inside? mind to elaborate more?

of coz new is nice. but considering it's a building, anything less than 100yrs also ok to me as long as well-maintained.

do take in the concern which the loan approval, my fren bought a >20y apartment @ 150k, but after access by bank loan evaluator(i dunno wat's the exact name) that apartment only worth 135k therefore my fren can only take up to max 135k loan

Sad to say jam-lennon, this one is true and it is happening in lotsa places (locations) & properties regardless of the age of the property. People call it 'bubble'.

i bought an old link house around 18 years old, majorly renovated/changed everything i can..and so far so good, a good location i can say.

at least for me, and it can be rented out without any problem when i bought another house.

Depend location & condition of the condo lor

i'll get it for a rental purpose as long as its not more than 30years old =]

Yes for me =]

Many things need to consider,
No.1 is Cost
2. Location
3. Free or Lease hold
4. Building outlook
5. Environment
......

For Condo or Apartment, need to look into the lift whether often giving problem.

Shang Villa is 15 years old already?. I could not find the history of this place though,,it is that run down?..I thinking of buying cheap unit here,,if available..
