If u take 70% loan only, even low floor can still consider non dibs package..

Anyway, if u do decide 2 drop ur unit, thr will b several buyers waiting to buy fr u in view of the factors I shared.

Whichever..even if 2% increase for block J now, the value of J in the subsale mrk 5 years later will also follow suit the pricing of block H as both of them r twins in nature, side by side n sharing d same facilities.

So the higher pricing the developer pushes block H, the better it is 4 block J coz both blocks will enjoy similar subsale pricing although block J buyers had a lower entry price as compared to block H.

I was not privileged enough 2 buy block J coz I went on sun instead of sat. So I ended buying block H instead m I dont get d 5% discount..

Some banka strict in assessment n wont give the LTV dat u want. Anyway the 2nd 10% is only payable next july 2014.

U can call ms yong who works 4 d developer at 019-3606619. Ask her 4 more details on the drawdown schedule.

Star residence@KLCC launching tom at kl convention centre 4 a whopping min rm1,500 psf..up to rm1,750psf.

One time pain as u pay ur 20% then forever bliss intead of worrying on interest cost movement. I m not taking dibs as I only got LTV of 70%. If I got 80 or 90% sure I take dibs..

During this weekend Star Residence@ Klcc & H20@Ara damansara are launched. Both high dense project surpassing 1,500 units. H2O architect v smart..can create 3+1 room for 800+ sqft condo. 1,000 sqft got 4+1 room. They wanna increase no of rooms so investors can hv better rental yield. Advantage is its located oppossite tesco xtra.

Many many high dense apartments launching..after tis ekocheras buy, I am looking to invest in a double storey terrace hse instead 2 diversify my portfolio.. scared too many condos..oversupply. freehold landed near ktm n lrt/mrt cant go wrong in the medium term.

I wont buy the existing old houses in cheras. Trend forward is to hv gated & guarded projects 4 security reasons n thr is only v limited projects in cheras on tis concept. Look out 4 new terrace houses projects in semenyih & kajang. The new houses r mainly freehold n since they r new houses thr is less reno cost involved. I would prefer kajang over semenyih as thr r 3 new MRT stops in kajang. Semenyih has no MRT. Nadayu 92, Kajang 2 and the tropicana heights@kajang will have good capital appreciation for their freehold landed terrace hse. The only downside for terrace house is the rental yield is poor n u need holding power for at least 5 years b4 u see ur inbestment pay off. In the meantime ur rental will nit b able 2 cover for ur mthly installment.

U guys need 2 lobby your ideas more with Joe Wong who is the head of sales & marketing for this Ekocheras project..

If u enjoy LTV 70%, ur better off WITHOUT dibs..

To enjoy the capital appreciation, u may need to hold the terrace hse for 2 to 3 yrs after VP. If u buy new landed property near ktm or mrt, even better. Between landed property n high dense condo projects, I think the landed property will give better capital appreciation. Dont forget ekocheras is also highly dense with a whopping 1,800 units available upon VP. Competition will b keen to find tenants to occupy our units.

Kajang 2 has an upcoming ktm station that will connect you to an mrt station which is just one stop away. The ktm is located beside d upcoming mall which anchor tenant is likely jaya jusco. The developer will start constructing d ktm station in mac next year. This project is d closest to the mrt that I can think of.

If ur an overseas buyer better go 4 dibs n dont worry abt the hassle..

Its my observation that rental for landed properry is generally lower than condo. This is especially true if the house is not a gated n guarded n does not hv a clubhse with facilities. Desa park city terrace hses enjoys very good capital aporeciation n also reasonablev rental yield as its gated, guarded, has clubhse n surrounded by park & eateries coupled with international school. But if its just a terrace hse without these security features n amenities a terrace hse may only fetch rm1,500 pm while the sale price price is rm600k in kajang for example. My friend is renting a 3,000 sq ft ungated n unguarded terrace hse in ampang for rm2,500 pm. The hse market value is rm850k. Which enforces my observation in today's sale prices its increasingly diff 4 mthly rental to pay fully 4 ur mthly installment. But go long term ie 10 yrs the capital appreciation of a terrace hse in nadayu 92 or kajang2 would outstrip any soho unit in our high dense ekocheras. I could b wrong. This is just my 2 cts view.

I understand that the "mall" is actually covered retail shoplots with walkways in between. Some will enjoy covered walkways n some will not. It is not like midvalley or sunway mall. Thr r cineplexes but its still at planning stage. U will all their proposed plans in yr s&p.

The retail shops gross built up area is quite sizeable at 1 million sq ft. Should hv enough space to house yr tenants' daily necessities..hopefully this will b a strong magnet for future tenants as after VP the competition to rent or flip our units will b very fierce. Project contains a whopping 1,800 units..
