Don't need to become like Zimbabwe.

Become like Vietnam can already. Did you know that Vietnam real estate crashed almost 30% (and some around 50% for particular location) in the last 8 months due to oversupply and low demand? LOL.

Is Malaysia better than Vietnam? Not really IMO. All BBBBB camp desperately hope and pray for Singapore ppl to save our prop market lol.

Do we have to pay GST for buying property in case barang naik implements GST?

So the sale price won't kena GST, but those building materials will kena tax? If it's the case I can only see the property price will keep increasing.

LMFAO!!!

GST proposed is 4% confirmed. But the stupid minister now say it is 7%.

Being a businessmen, they will take advantage and increase their prices too. Just like sugar increase by RM0.20/kg, a cup of teh tarik increase by RM0.10.

So even at 4% GST, the final price of building material will be an unknown.

Have you bought any recently ? Take advantage and commit some units in this 1-2 months. Sure make money. We are not talking about long term economy fundamentals now. Not talking about USA/Euro economy, fiat money, QE infinity etc now. We are talking about the 1 off chance of a life time for the next 2-4 months

If you are in business, then go stock up now ! Traders and manufacturers are already starting to stock up their inventories. Since you are in legal profession, nothing much you can do. But you can buy properties ! 

hhmmm, sounds like those gay guys are running out of guys to sell their butts. are they starting to evolve to become pondans ? usually pondans will like to harass guys, check out guys what they are doing, trying to act like a "pat poh".....hhhmmmm

i think their action sounds like it....but seriously tikaram, u have to understand such people in real life indeed is living in a very pity life. they have no choice but to do such things...either they are unemployed or they have to do such job to get "pity money" from certain people with vested interests.

hey bro... can i see your pretty young wife so i can wow?

with this kind of market nothing to shout about with a 9% return.
some stock giving me 60% return within 4 months.

both stocks and property would have extreme sucess cases and also failure cases.

joe might earn a decent 9% x 4 x 3 = 108% return. but 108% return based on consistently achieving 9% roi 4 times a year for three straight years.

worgen's scenario is based on 300k to 600k. 100% return in 3 years. but if recalculated based on cash down, it's 300k/30k = 1000% return.

but of course, there are cases of stocks gaining >30% in a day too.

mr. accountant, mind sharing how you derive the 55% profit and duration of 15 months?
or the attachment has got nothing to do with your posting?
not well verse with shares. please share share, k?

300k gain?
RGPT not required to pay?
Early loan settlement penalty + interests costs not required to pay?
S&P, agent fee, plus plus not required to pay?

And guaranteed the home will cost 600k in 3 years? What makes you so sure it won't turn into another Kampung Medan or Flora Damansara?

You are comparing actual realised gains with wild predictions of ideal situations. In one case, it's 9% in pocket, guaranteed. The other case, someone's fantasy of what things could be like in 3 years based on their prediction.

Do tell me which is more preferable.

funny... i always thought monitoring shares movement is more stressful and time consuming compared to monitoring properties investment.
guess i am wrong.

no problem with me being wrong.
only problem is you can't or won't answer a question i post to you earlier.
not wrong for me to ask. and certainly not wrong for you to decline help to those who requested.

Bias view~~sinz u have already owned 2 properties~~

Anyway I am not an expert in property market, below are just my 2 cents based on the basic supply and demand theory~~

Typical Malaysian (in KL to be specific) may find it hard to cope with the current property prices, this is why it makes property below 500k is very attractive and were taken up at an insanely fast speed. Property over 500k is hot as well due to speculation/investment PLUS EXTERNAL DEMAND which is fuelling the higher end market. The demand SEEMS to be good (if not crazy)~~

But banks are slowly closing their tap, getting more stringent in the approval process, more reject loan cases happened, not a healthy sign for demand

At the fundamental level, actual citizens who are really moving into the new property is rather low and slow. If you look at the threads posted here, the occupancy rate for new condos, like scott garden, G-residence, Zest or even Setia Walk some what worries me, after one year still below 70%?

On the supply side, developer are taking advantage of the increasing property price, most of them were RUSHING for new projects, supply is plenty and sales is good, project financing is not a big problem. The downside is that, most of them were aiming for higher end market with prices above RM500k, again, foreigners (external demand) can buy these units upfront with basically no obstacles, sales seems to be no problem again and hence more high end construction, units are getting smaller in order to squeeze more revenue from the piece of land.

At the wider market, China is slowing down, USA is recovering slower than expected, Japan suffering due to strong yen, Europe in never ending deep shit, the macro outcome does not seems good. External demand may be limited in the near future.

My conclusion:-
With supply increasing and fundamental demand unable to catch up, if the external demand is, weaken / stopped / regulated then the effect on local market might be great. Local demand is strong for lower end property where working class is struggling to get one. Higher end ones, how many of you are actually buying for own use? Some say rental market in KL is growing, but the supply is even more.

Therefore, with all the above, I believe we are moving towards the property bubble… but of course no one can predict when it will happen, some mentioned it years ago and it never happen and prices continue to grow. But if all this unhealthy e

As a new property owner, I do hope the prices will maintain and grow at a reasonable rate and not the current booming rate.

so are you are happy being wrong?
