Hi guys, i just bought a high floor unit at Solstice @ Pangaea Cyberjaya. For investment not for own staying. Any advices?

Correct. It is not easy. But we are talking about phase 1 after commercial is up. So it could be slightly easier than what we are seeing now in 3yrs time. Having said that, your hypothetical scenarios are not comprehensive enough to cover entire population here. It should 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9..... to cover eg. single who work in cbj, couple both work in cbj without kid, couple one work in cjb one in kajang without kid, couple one work in cjb, one work in puchong/serikembangan/shah alam/Sepang, Pilot or those travel frequently etc. While there are ppls care about foods or taichi but there are also many don't care about this (like me, my wife is fantastic chef). So, there can be many different scenarios that can be favoured to and infavoured to cbj.

Anyway, as i said earlier it will be taking time. I realised nowadays ppls are more mobile than the generation before. I stayed and moved to many places in Klang Valley over years like ampang, cheras, kajang, PJ ss2, subang etc. Ppls will try to improve their standard of living in term of lifestyle or move from shit to better place. And Lifestyle, for different ppls will be different definition..it can be in term of house itself, environment surrounding the housing development, food, shopping mall, traffic, distance to work, density etc. A township will attract those who meet their requirement. Sometimes, it is difficult to assume a  place that can fullfill ALL ppls requirements. Every place sure ada their fans. Just like me, I never think that SA is livable 3years ago. But now, it is in pretty good shape (though i still won't live there). So, let's see and  revisit this in 3-5years time, it shall give us different perspective (good or bad time will tell).

Yes highrise seems to be the theme of development. But, landed is getting expensive which means many have no choice but to settle with highrise. When we look at oversupply, we need to know the yearly expansion of population from newbies too. But surely, for specific area, i see oversupply of highrise that can be an issues in term of competition for flipper or rental market. I am more concern on shoebox apartment.

Island unit is superb. Must buy for the rich like u.

Superman is going to cyberjaya

Unless you alr have a long term tenant when buying over the existing unit else i would suggest u to reconsider la bro.
The owner can ask for any price however the transacted rental is always diff ler..... dun forget in KLCC area, the occupancy rate is only 50-60% and these expat are quite mobile. They always move into new condo since there are plenty of supply but little of demand in KLCC area

Asking price is always lots of diff with actual rented price that one i can assure yo

thanks for the input soros007. how about seri maya, maytower? i need to balance out my portfolio. right now a bit heavy on landed.

which development, bro? what is thr price and ROI?

Bro, i am sorry that i cant really share much with u abt these prop.
From what i noticed, the affordability in KLCC is generally Rm4-5K only thus u may work backward to find the correct prop.
Landed > not good for rental but good in appreciation ma kekeke......

Added on December 13, 2012, 10:46 pmGood la bro i wish you very good luck to get an islands unit
   

Hahaha..... Quality of expat in KL is very much different to SGP that's for sure!
Many expats in M'sia are from India, phillipines, Thailands, Indonesia etc howvever those in SGP are from US, Aus, UK, Canada etc......
can't complain lor

Expats in Msia doesn't necessarily have to be concentrated in KL or area around KLCC. MNC companies are spread across klang valley. Mid Valley Gardens, Bangsar, Cyberjaya, KL Sentral..etc. So not necessarily the expats will be paying premium just to stay near KLCC and still enjoy the standstill traffic.

Also Expats in SG are mostly for APAC regional operations compared to msia.

S$ 15K x 2.5 = Rm 37.5K.....
Not sure how many MNCs in M'sia willing to pay this???

I got this invitation..any idea what is it for..?developer promoting subsales unit..?

Iskandar is only good for Singaporean as retirement home.

How low is your below market price bro?

Added on December 14, 2012, 2:29 pmJust to share with you some of my personal experiences:-
1). My cousin bought hampshire park with a really good deal - Rm1.7mil+ for a 3000ft2+ which market price is RM3.0mi~ due to couple divorcing (sorry to them).
2). My uncle bought a 3 storey bungalow next door at Rm2.0mil which the market price is Rm3.0mil+ due to couple divorcing too.
3). I bought a bungalow in Aus at AUD 700K while the market price was AUD 900K due to owner extremely struggle for mismanagement in her financial planning.
4). One of my best friends bought Mutiara Villa (2-3 units) at price below Rm200K from Singaporean in 00's although market price then was Rm300K~ as this SGP BZman needs $$$ urgently.

Sometimes, you just never know when is the good deal appeared? Keep searching and be ready to snap quick.
So, never said never. Life is full of surprises wor!

The thing is, many sellers are not desperate and are willing to hold out until a buyer comes along that meet their target price. There is no crisis, as yet to pressure the sales.

Added on December 15, 2012, 10:53 amThe recent launch for SEG has got me thinking. A semi D of 3000 sq ft is priced at RM1.7 mil( albeit a slightly bigger land area) whereas a completed one at GR only cost RM1.2 mil for subsales. Why are people still queing up at SEG? If it's for own stay, I can understand but for investment, it really baffles me....

Congratulations bro!
Not many ppl has the vision like u I would said so.
Just gotta enjoy the process of finding good lubang hahaha.... Happy hunting
