I renting a house in KK for 6 years, then bought a house at kemuning utama ( live here for 4 yrs), and last month bought Viola for investment at RM481k. The main reason is for medium term investment. Why, kemuning utama sub-sale is around RM550-650k. Thus, there is huge potential for Viola to appreciate because Alam Impian is only 5min from KU! In addition, there is a huge commercial " Tigaman" at Jalan Bukit kemuning, next to Alam Impian. The developer of Tigaman is planning to improve accessibility to by connecting an access road to Alam Impian ( less than 1km!)

Doesn't mean investment in the past will be repeating in the future. I had missed the investment at Setia Alam/Ecopark, but in my opinion the price already appreciated too much! Instead of purchasing Setia Alam, I bought a unit at Botanic which did not appreciate much!

I invested KU, 1st phase 22X75 at RM283k 5 years ago, current mkt price is RM550k. By comparison, I hope AI will provide a good investment return in 5 years time since there are no more development at KK/KU, except condo/service apartment etc. If your intention is to flip within 2-3years, I don't think AI is a good option. On the otherhsand, in my opinion, it is better for us to preserve our cash in bank! Waiting for development of RRI land at Sugai Buloh, service with MRT etc.

However, if it is for own stay, AI would be a wonderful place to stay. I made a challenging decision to to move from SS18, Subang Jaya to KK 10 yrs ago and there was no regret as my family is happy living in this township.

From my observation, Kota Kemuning and Kemuning Utama comprise of 75% Chinese community. I am staying at earlier phase of Kemuning Utama, 90% is Chinese. Lately I met a non chinese property investor at one of the property seminar, he revealed to me one his important property investment criteria, one would never goes wrong to follow Chinese. He spot on Desa park city and Ecopark 3-4 years ago, made a substantial return from his two investments.

You are right, most of them are investor. More than 50% of property where I staying already changed hand! I have checked with few of my new neighbours as to why they moved to KU. The reason are good security (gated/ guarded), infrastructure and availability of school ( there are two chinese school located at KK and Jln kemuning.)

Masjid, Church and Temple are part of Malaysian culture. During prayer or festival, the noise level are higher/ traffic are chaotic. This is a good opportunity for us to practice our tolerance level. One should respect for individual freedom. However, everyone have to handle sensitive issue with the right frame of mind . It is common to hear Chinese complaint to Chinese Temple because of noise level! I still remember once Shah Alam Buddhist Association started 4 yrs ago at Bukit Rimau, they got the complaint from the neighbour ( due to noise level) who are a Chinese family.

Perhaps AI has planned to provide sufficient parking. Thus, need a bigger space. However, I&P might propose to build shop/office beside the Masjid, just like what is happening at KK.

I have written to TTDI for 90days grace period for my bank loan approval ...., the management has approved my request.... effective date to charge interest is from 12nd March 2011.

Yes, I got the reply a week ago.

If you intend to request for grace period, recommended to write your letter of appeal officially, they will reply to you officially as well. I believe they will treat this on case to case basis. Mohd Zulkifly Abu Hassan is handling this case.

Access system is a common feature and at competitive cost as well. This is a good system to ensure visitors have to register at guardhouse, the other benefit is to de-activate access card for those residence who has long overdue security fees. I hv been staying at G & G area for the last 4 yrs, the common problem is damaged of boom gate by inconsiderate motorist!

By the way, grill would not prevent break in! Would you know the thief can break the grill within minutes. In addition, if we over designed the grill, it would become a trap during unforeseen fire! In my opinion, just go for simple design to prevent petty thief is good enough. What we need to do is to ensure strict security system in the housing area.

TTDI will sms to you one week before the launching, pls go to the office before actual launch eve. They are few foreign workers waiting to be hirer for queuing, the charges is around RM100-150. Alternatively, if you want to queue yourself, the best timing is around 6-7am on the launch day as most of the people coming in around 8.00am onwards. Thanks

You could use umbrella to knock on each tile, hollow tile will produce difference sound, if you found a few pcs, the chances to find more is high!

Thanks

within hours, pls call and chase them

Any show house??

Hello All,

I am a middle income class, and bought a unit in Dec 2010 for investment purpose. My objective is to keep the house for around 5 yrs, estimate return of RM300k. Due to bank negara 70% loan guideline, I hv to fork out RM150k for this investment, a bit stressful but with 200% return of investment in 5 years or 20% per year. I am an investor, not speculator! 20% return per year is categorized as top class investment in term of world standard!

Why I invested in AI:

1. This is a last few piece of freehold land at Shah Alam with good accessibility! Location! Location! Location!

Accessibility in AI is as good as KK or KU. I move from Subang Jaya to KK in 2010, my whole family is happily staying in this nice township although basis amenities are almost zero then! There are 300-400 hundred of shop houses, but less than 5% are in business..., latter Pos office, Police station, school, MDc, bank etc are operating in this township.

Location: AI is located just next to SA center! What else can we complaint besides Toll? I could not find any negative point!
Just for knowledge sharing, I invested a walk up apt sometime in 2004 at Bandar Sunway. Location was my primary criteria and secondary criteria was on my limited investment capital, i.e should not more than RM10k. Eventually two of my relatives made the same investment as well. Presently the market price of the apt is > 200k , rental is from RM1250-2000/mth! They are many investors looking for the investment, but the seller is really limited!


2. AI TTDI is at early stage of township development. I have experienced how KK and KU develop the township, and miss the golden investment opportunity! ( except the hse I am staying). I don't see why AI would not like KK/KU in 5- 10years time?

If you are an investment, this is a good investment as we are at the perfectly correct stage. If you are a speculator, waiting to flip in 1-2 years, this might not your ideal choice!

If you bought for your own stay, AI is the right location with the right price couple with ample of capital appreciation potential. The only set back is no basis amenities at this township! You are welcome to KK/KU, Shah Alam center etc. only 5 minutes away...

Thanks

Added on April 10, 2011, 5:39 pmJust back from Tesco Shah Alam, There is a booth promoting a project at SA 16, gated and guarded as well, 20X65 for around RM420k, bumi price. I believe TTDI AI would not price 20x75 house more than 460k. Furthermore, I don't think TTDI AI has started construction for the new phase yet. Hence, the bumi price might be around RM430k or less.

Another potential access to AI is via Tigaman project at Jalan Butkit Kemuning. Tigaman is going to launch their commercial project soon, definitely AI resident is one of their main target...

Although the way winter brought up his personally opinion is a bit straight forward, we can learn some of his experience and comment as well. He follows a very stringent criteria. However, a few of his negative points are a plus points to me. e.g very deep inside, etc. I moved to KK from Subang in 2000, KK was considered as a deep inside township by Subang folk, but now the properties price has appreciated more than double! A good location couple with a reputable developer are my main criteria of investment! Hence TTDI AI has fulfilled this criteria the properties have potential to appreciate significantly in 5- 10years.

Considering sub-sale house prices in KK and KU or Bukit Rimau. In my opinion, 20 x80 for RM520k is too steep for a new house under construction. TTDI AI is selling the future price!

In the forum I came across someone mention TTDI going to launch later this yr semi-d, going for RM800k. I am really interested for my own stay, but once i went to TTDI office. They indicated the price might be around RM1400-1500k. Upon checking sub sale price at KK/KU, RM1.5m can get a very good semi d and ready to move. I might think twice if TTDI AI tag at that price!
