Bro what u think of similar hotel project with GRR in Melaka. Would Melaka be a better bet especially if the location is quite central like in taman Melaka raya? Walking distance to dataran pahlawan n main mahkota parade

Incidentally, I am quite familiar with Malacca too since I travel there every week, for work related stuff.

Malacca's property scene is much more active, with more volume. I am guessing you are referring to Straits Residence? My response will always be, 'What's next once you get back the property?' or 'What's next if they don't extend the contract anymore?/Only for the first 3 years?'

Worth to highlight that it will be a real challenge to handle it on your own, especially if the rent is for short term only/a few days. The high ROI (6%) that developer is offering is based on the daily rental model, which will yield higher returns but at the same time, take much more effort since there is housekeeping and so on.

Unless you have a few units and have the time, and also a maid, I think it's better to look at other opportunities, it's just not worth the hassle, in my opinion. Market/demand for rental will be there, but are you up to it to do the dirty work on a daily basis?

Meet guest, collect deposit, record details, pass to them the keys, collect back keys, check suite condition, do housekeeping.
That's one complete cycle.

Just wondering given the demand for accommodation in Melaka, are there agencies that will rent in bulk from owners and then manage like a hotel business? Believe got demand will have supply...??

For Straits Residence case, believed that it has the lowest entry for a strategic location GRR project in Melaka compared to all the others like the Shore, Hatten, 99 Residence etc. The 300+ sq ft unit was selling about RM220,000 with GRR contract for 6 years (not 3). The rest entry level are above RM300,000 although bigger unit size but since the purchaser is not staying does not really matter.

So after 6 years if all GRR honoured, the carrying cost is only RM140k. One year 14 days free stay also worth RM2800 assuming RM200 per nite. In year 2020, believed a pigeon hole in center of Melaka should be worth more than that...if can find a agency to continue to manage renting out better still

What say u, sir?
