if you are referring to the handful of expats in this part of town, i think potpourri could well be the top dog because it offers fully furnished concept.
the fully furnished concept is quite good stuff for the small units. hence for rental and for an individual or couple, might as bloody well go for the top unit.
all others nearby are just basic or semi furnished units.
so it falls on the owner to dress it up to entice the tenants.
so if i have a 3k budget to spend, i would go for potpourri over say ara green, pacific place, puncak nusa kelana, amaya subang, serai, oasis, etc.
mind you some of those i quoted are actually well above 3k budget and also big sized units which is incomparable.

very well thought out.

i was wondering one thing, for fully furnished units by developer and someone like me just buy to rent it is good because don't need to fork out cash for reno, however was wondering if people just rent out vanilla like that or addon things on their own to entice tenants hmm.gif

Tenant would prefer fully furnish. The rental will cost higher but it depends which market are we targeting.
Some are willing to pay, for nice furnishing. Mind you, SHC's furnishing is very complete.

Agree with bro KoChin, Potpourri has slight upper hand compare to the rest.
It is right next to the new SD commercial park, which is near completion.
Right adjenct to Citta mall ( still, many debate if the mall condition. For me, it is good enough).
It is 600m away from the LRT station... not ideally near, but we also dont want too near.

Close competition of this range would be Amaya, Nova, and Ara Green.
We know H2O layout out is very poor, it could fetch good rental for mid range market ( many small room) so it fit for different segment. The same goes to Pacific Palace.

Anyone has update on the sale/take up rate?
i see banner at road side all the way to Bukit Jelutong.

i dunno why people in lowyat like to najib, ask question related to A topic then reply with B topic sweat.gif

let me ask again more clearly.

since developer already provide fully furnish so every unit is exactly the same.
would it be better if....

1. add own furniture for higher rental but incurring additional cost
2. rent it out as is from developer and stay within the rental rates of everyone else or lower to quickly rent it out

me not najib la...

as said, the furnishing is already very complete. What more do you wanna add to make a different with the rest of the unit.
What ever effort you put, will only be small incremental. Cant justify with the higher rental.

Lol..the fully furnish is almost complete unless u want to put an extra fridge or oven..

Unless u would want to put osim massage chare etc which u think might fetch higher rent but with risk a gonna be spoiled at the end of tenancy.

that one you have to ask pai boss.
in his program, they have a dedicated chapter on furnish vs non-furnish. tongue.gif

my additional 2c on furnishing.
note that potpourri is not providing cincai furnishing. from my untrained naked eye, i like the furnishing and ID a lot. probably cost a bomb if owners were to undertake it themselves.
so my take is if developer is offering fully fitted unit with acceptable cost, and you like the design, take it.
how often have you seen a fully fitted unit by owner that is done tastefully for lease? am not saying there aren't any, but limited and also run the risk of overdoing and overbudgeting.

mind you also fully fitted units are not all rosy as well since the more you provide, the riskier it gets in terms of damages.

cheers!

the potpurree ID by developer is really nice and should be sufficient as a "ready to lease upon VP" unit.

normal human behavior.
something new u dowan let ppl spoil until u spoil it first laugh.gif
but i think there is a fine line between adding stuff to fully furnish to increase rental and adding too much you don't get enough back.

i guess for investors it makes much more sense getting fully furnished from developer than vanilla unless it is really cheap as even basic reno's would kill at least two credit cards laugh.gif

I would say the furnishing 20k is really worth the money. Neighbour Ara Green is 60k for ID like show unit. :S

if you know the full story, the 20k is actually a gimmick lah.
no way the unit can be done in 20k.

I personally love the location but potpourri is leasehold and it is so near to citta mall that's concerned me.
Anymore project coming up in the area?

just a personal preference. I think stay too near to the mall will have noise n traffic factor.
