I can't agree more.

studio rental already hit at 2.3-2.5k for FF

The most important key word is general rent not those exceptional case or superior furnished.

Furthermore it is already partly furnished and just take a bit more to fully furnished it.

Wow!
How about basic unit (as in partly-furnished)?

I just rent out my basic unit few days back at RM1900, and there's a few enquiries asking for RM1800, I guess that's the benchmark for now.

Walking distance to office is a trend now.
Walking distance to lrt sudah out dated Liao.

If your apartment or condo near to certain companies with walking distance to office only. With only size of Studio unit ff... Cincincaicai can rent to expat up to 3k per month.

Actually the surge of middle class expat suit well summer suites market positioning.

Much easier to rent out fully furnished. Mine's at 2.5k/month.

Not bad for a sub 400k investment all in.

Some agents are still sending lowball offers to owners and hopefully they're not accepted.

Wow.... Awesome. Your unit should be furnished with some ID.

Its not only expat/foreigners renting small units in the RM2k-2.5k range.

From my experience covering other high end areas, nowadays there are many young local professionals willing to spend RM2k-RM2.5k for rental.

Thanks for the info..

So sad....i rented out for much lower in Nov last year...

Good. End of last year ask agents to help me rent out my unit. All lowball offers. Decided to do airbnb and been doing great so far. May consider renting out longer term if the rents come back.

Why stop airbnb? Lol much better income right? Wanna know more about it. Airbnb looks interesting.

I think airbnb requires significant work on owners part? The rental then becomes your gaji only.

Who help you todo airbnb

Myself. Yes better but a lot of work. I did it myself. And I'm not even in KL so its very tiring. I think it is more worthwhile if you have many units or live nearby but for me I think it's quite troublesome.

I had a chat with a guy who does Airbnb for SS owners either by charging a monthly fee or profit sharing..

Might have given it a go if I met him before I signed my tenancy agreement.

I don't think its worth it letting others manage if he has his own unit. Yours will be the lowest priority and after costs, I don't think its worth it anymore. Don't forget you have to pay for cleaning as well as Internet/electricity/water costs.

By the way. When did you rent out your unit? I tried going through agent end of last year but they were saying it was very quiet market.
