Boss, buying commission is a diff strategy compare to buying resi. Tenants who pay rental for rented house ll generate nothin in return. It's like buying a car and depreciate even b4 u finish paying off the HP. Tenants who pay rental for commercial shops, offices, or factories ll definitely generating income even if it's for storage.
In tis case, pls do challenge urself to step forward to find a way to venture into an affordable commi to try out. U ll b surprise on how the tenants afraid of u chasing them away than u afraid of when r they gonna drag on ur rental.
Yes it's more expensive but I dun c any cheap houses now. Some forumers here even vested in landed cost mils. Then how r v gonna define more expensive to buy a shop? A huge bungalow in bangsar could cost 6mil and at the same time a shop in telawi ll cost u 7mil. Which is beta? To me definitely telawi shop. Or compare mont kiara n hartamas. A super condo in mk can cost 3mil whereas a shop in hartamas can get it at 3.6mil. Which ll giv bea return?
Furthermore the appreciation part. Which has more legs to run?
Of cos if u compare a multi mil shop with a 400k soho, it's diff comparison Liao.
Btw many self employ hav many ways to get loan.
Anyway tis is just my way to judge which to invest. No obligation.

Respect people who are willing to share like u.
Wish u can start a thread on tips about shop investment.
