Years ago I have the same mindset as you, FH FH only. But it didn't take me long to see that some of my friends' leasehold prop perform even better than my freehold. Rupanya concept is the winner, not FH LH, the changes in the surrounding brings the capital gains, the development itself, instead of the title itself.
At this moment I thought of a good example, check out Mahsing M Residence 1 and 2, they are literally same developer, right by each other, like minutes drive away.
MR1 is freehold, individual title, MR2 is leasehold, strata title. Check out subsale pricing, MR2 command slightly higher pricing, MR1 I was still offered below 400k before CNY while MR2 die die also can get 430k only. Because in strata the concept is right, better maintenance is what people want these days.

I just came back from Putrajaya today. If Rimbayu is to the west of Bandar Saujana Putra, then it is indeed very near CyberJ and Putrajaya. Right after Saujana Putra exit is Putra Heights exit. If using this highway (don't know what it is called, it's the one we all use to go Dengkil and KLIA), the. I don't think Rimbayu is far. People don't think Putra Heights is far these days.
The problem I have with Rimbayu is it being leasehold. With so many FH property surrounding it, this project is really much akin to Kota Damansara having TTDI and BU surrounding them. KD is good just because its in Damansara. Will Rimbayu be the same? Hard to say.
