Haha wont offended la bro, we all just discussing here, so can make the right choice/decision when come to property.

Im not demanding but just pampered by other projects in klang valley with Show unit/brochures/events. Yes I do understand Fancy show unit not equal to actual quality)
But atleast I can roughly know how big is the 1269 in actual size and Size in each rooms. (I've compared the VINA/DreamCity Sales gallery which offers similar layout).

I've booked the Block A with 650K pricetag, and it's not considered cheap in this Cheras south area. (2500rm + 350 maintenance monthly), so with this price in this area considered high end ady.  ( 650psf above will be in prime area like OKR etc)

After research some "high end" condo in the same area:

WOTP: 880,200 for 1694sf; 10% rebates + 2k atleast Angpao = 467 psf
VINA: 1270sf = 450-500psf
DreamCity: 520psf for 1430sf
OneSouth: Soho 500psf for 1270sf

All around the same psf from 450-550 for their so called luxury/ResortStyle/High end condo. hahaha (I excluded the CasaGreen, no offends to their owners yea).

I also wish to have Money to build my bungalow/ or atleast landed house, but I've decided to move away from Landed to Condo due to only 2pax (3pax max) and I prefer facilities & tight security. (My parent won't stay in condo, so I've to secure a home for 2 of us).

Haha Yes I'm demanding and fussy too     

Buying for investing is one thing, buying for own stay another

No harm raising questions now so that these can be clarified when the time comes, rather than scratching head and making a hasty decision later on... I consider this a brainstorming session

Some of the concerns raised here would not have crossed my mind otherwise, then again I'm a new buyer, maybe not as experienced as others

This site is mainly the forum for people like us to comment and discuss.
It's nothing wrong for raising up questions freely.
For me, I felt that this is a positive thing and the way how we express our concerns and doubts towards particular project.
All of us share the info amongst us and would definitely be a plus point. Don't u think so?

Scare ourselves? Nope as I see it differently.
It's good to share and made known to other buyers on the pros and cons, good and bad.
These are all healty sharing and discussion. Nothing to scare of.
The brainstorming session here might educate ourselves to be a cleverer buyers.

Of course that is another thing.
I just don't agree if the discussion here will scare the buyers off

I'm not expecting immediate answer, but at least have things to consider and decide beforehand whether they are deal breakers or not.

Just cos a project sell like hotcake doesnt mean I will buy it blindly as well, buy/not buy whould take into consideration all factors other than just whether a project is selling like hot cake. My 2 cents

firstly, brian thx 4 ur sharing either here or other post, learn some from you...
I truly luv die its pivacy which only 4 units / floor...
tats y I hv book the paragon 3 which serve ONLY 2 units/ floor tooo
but I prefer CT, absolutely high level. but I m staying setapak here since tarc, ald so familiar w surrounding area, wife working here too, easy to bak hometown phg... so really tough to make decision to move to ct when it is completed soon..
unless w awesome work done to CT then may think twice... 

However, I think the rental yield will be insufficient to cover the installment+maintenance.
Anyone know about the rental rate around that area? We could have a clearer picture by then and estimated rental will be known.

it means for own stay.. rental for double storey below 1500

You didn't take sinking fund of 0.025 into consideration. Total maintenance fee will be rm349 for 1269sf. So, the total payout per month will be around rm3100.
Hopefully higher rental is doable

yes, I plan the same mayb 
alto is about 20yrs to go...
ys lease hold but it is really good price, 350psf w fully furnish.

I m staying 18th floor + 3 level parking = 21th
so I m ok w it.
sun should hv....gua...
any link can recommend to read about Islamic loan actually?
I wan to c their comment. I took 4 Islamic loan.. wish there is no hidden cost as agent said..

I mean I m staying now at 18th floor... just telling brian tat height is not a problem to me n I prefer high floor.
both units r 20+ floor, same floor actually, easier to remember
but b2 is 3a, no choice, unit 3 ald habis when I meet her. should date her earlier when I wan at the site on 18th May I think. I met n book on 31/5 I think. anyway I don really pantang about it. 3a also good ...
