this should be a fully renovated & extended and corner unit...

land area 1650

built up 3000

how ah... no car porch?

yes, if based on 2sty as posted

the 3000sf should be included the ancilary area (carporch area built-ups)

haha, my guess la

Even if you don't fail miserably, you are still a gambler.

Even if someone knows the odds, when to bet high or low at a casino.  Doesn't make him any less a gambler.

You may win ones or twice, the fact is nobody can ever beat the system, anybody who thinks they can, are gamblers.

The casino/the developers are not the gamblers, casino guest/those who buy the props for profit are.

---

if profit comes from added value then it's called a business with certain risk.

Eg. we could make nasi lemak ourselves, but when the nasi lemak seller, gathers the ingredience, cooks them, and serves them to us, then its a business.

If someone buys all this nasi lemak, in the hopes that scarcity will drive the price up, without adding any value to the nasi lemak, then he is a gambler.

the BU6 property should be calculated at 1.78M/1650sf = 1078psf.
landed property are calculated based on land area, where as non landed property are calculated   
on build up.

nowadays many property agents are deceiving buyers by "promoting" build up area instead of land area to sell their property. 

ground floor = 100k
2nd floor = 50k
3rd floor = 50k

OK..

property valuation are not done just with single storey double or triple.

landed property are ALWAYS valuated at land area. valuers will value the price of that land (1650sf) and terrain.

then valuers will put a value on the property sitting on the land. in this case it can be a dilapidated wooden house, double storey house or a 10 storey high building.

third, valuers will value the property based on amenities, infrastructure, place of worship and grave yard.

fourth, recently transacted price

all this will sum up to the final property value.

now they changed name adi. no more batang berjuntai..

lol i just received a letter from maybank.. one of the feature

Maybank MaxiHome
Pay Later - repay the loan balance either thru EPF lump sum or translating it to a 2nd generation loan (transferring the loan to ur children)

banks getting crazier..

Me too. Waiting.

But need to wait for few years because from history of US subprime problem, property crash will continue crash for 5 years. Have to hold on to property for 5 years with risk of no one renting.

In the property game, there are a few constants:
1. Developers are at the top of the pyramid
2. Buyers are at the bottom of the pyramid
3. In between are the suppliers and contractors. Many of them who get their units for free cos developers cannot pay them or sell off remaining units. They are "forced" to take up the units in lieu of payment.
3. Buyers act on "information" fed to them by "experts" who say that prices will always go up and they should buy now or regret later. This belief in turn fuel rise in property prices.

Smart investors do their due diligence:
1. Property prices should always be pegged to GDP and per capita income. If prices increase is not in proportion to GDP growth, a correction is imminent.
2. Use EPF returns as benchmark. Any property giving less than 6% returns is probably not worth the trouble. It's better to leave the money in EPF.
etc

which bond? bond cannot drop one ar? FD safe ar? 

Not takut. I just don't want you to mislead anyone that bond and FD is safe. Just as some people here mislead others thinking that property price will keep going up.

malaysia bond - not for retail investors

i do invested Singapore treasury bond..

There is no such thing as investment with zero risks. Even hard cash can be worthless if war breaks out. But looking at it logically and going by past performances, EPF has been giving 5-6% returns for past 10-15 yrs.

Yes, there is a risk that EPF may be reduced to zero due to mismanagement etc, ruling govt may lose in next elections, Petronas Twin Towers may collapse, some of us may be kidnapped by aliens etc. But for investment purposes, we have to go with a logical mind and base our decisions on facts rather than sentiments.

i doubt they can give such a high return, it is more likely they use new members $ to pay for old members (some sort like MLM's high profits promises)
when they have run out of cash, they will delay the withdrawal age. (now 55, they now propose to delay to 62 ), if still can cope with the withdrawal crowd, they will delay to 65, then 70 ... samething happening in Europe..

i thought seller can cancel ?
i heard some buyers shouting " the seller suddently don't want sell "

yeah woh.. can earn interest...
but duno will kena bunuh or not.. lol..
later that fella hire ppl gao dim that seller

seriously,

investors, prop agents, developers, property owners, sale agents will tell u price is going up

tenants, buyers, non-investors will tell u price is dropping
