I agree also the BlkE 800+ sf has been the most controversial unit since day one.
One alternative is to partition the living just like the way it does for the studio, jmho only. 
But the bath room, I still don't know how to divide it.

rm2.5k rental Quite a tall order for cheras area right?

If yes, that would be fantastic news for Ekocheras and Cheras! With ikano power station & ikea coming to Cheras too propelled by the future MRT

Capitalmall checked every inch of the body of Tropicana City Mall naked but did not want to marry her!

go for it... still cheap ! When they release the bumi lots, you will be smiling all the way...

Congrats, bro!

Buy 2 units with average cost of RM521k n sell at 20% higher 

For me, I will still go for Ekocheras. From my point of view, It is different product.

What's the size for the 460k(now 550k) you mentioned? just be very small unit right? as never know Ekocheras can be that cheap at 460K previously?

i would say it's highly unlikely.....almost impossible that interest paid is more than 7%, especially for me unit on the 21st floor.... lowest floors maybe.....

the 7% non dibs savings needs to be paid back for gst bor?
for soho buyers lah.

in the talk i attended, the speaker cautioned that the tenant might actually prefer to be charged 6% gst in future because the tenant is able to claim input tax. this is in comparison to landlords who doesn't.
not me say.
Custom say punya:
http://gst.customs.gov.my/en/rg/SiteAssets...0Jan%202014.pdf

if you rent to tenant as a individual to stay, he considers as end user, no input tax to be claimed.
if you rent to tenant to use as office, and his business size is bigger than RM 500K / annum, he can claim back as input tax
but however, no matter how, why tenant prefer 6% charges? because this money will eventually go to government even you can claim back, but you need to pay 6% more that those not charge you 6% ar
item 7.

GST licensee tenant would prefer owner charge them GST so that they can claim it from custom as input tax.

However, SOHO means small office home office which target for small business or individual and very likely this group of tenant does not have GST licence. Therefore, they will prefer if the owner not to charge them GST as it is not claimable for them. It is just my speculation.

So can we say that if the owner is not registered for GST then the tenant will not be charge GST regardless of whether is use for commercial or not?
