Yes, must increase the price cause seller also need to survive mah.
Problem is that potential pool of buyer is very limited now. so what to do?
The strategy now is very simple. you see fresh graduates hundreds of thousands every year, and majority of them from other states flock to KL to work. They do not have the means to buy from you, so just rent it to them. Property owners must unite and please do not undercut each other on the rental pricing, must fix a baseline rental amount.
So you ask what if they cant afford to pay the rent? (high rent due to expensive installment to banks)
No problem, instead of 3 graduates renting one house, you rent it to 6 graduates sharing the house. I have seen Sunway Monash college did this, partitioned one condo to 6 or 7 rooms and charge RM800 each.
Easy money!! nice or not this strategy?
U r a very self contradiction fellow aren't u ? 1st is a fact majority Malaysian in Peninsular live in KV easily approx 1/3 correct ? base on 6 out of 20 millions, so how come majority graduates come from out station ? U mean most of the youngsters in KV r bloody stupid not qualify or drop out of school ? most of them r loser selling burger/durian/or pirated dvd ? or do u mean most KV couples r kid less or max 1 kid ?
If not isn't majority graduates r from KV ? meaning these youngsters r unlikely need to rent a house to work in KL.
You mean there is no graduates will work in Penang, or JB Iskandar ? is Penang & Iskandar employing Bangla/Indon/Myanmar graduates to work & no local ? does this mean Penang & Iskandar properties is flop with no graduates tenant ?
Eg me live in KL suburban & work in KL central do I need to rent a house in KL golden triangle ? or my colleagues who live in Cheras, Kepong, Klang Lama need to rent as well ?
Assume my wild guess is majority or easily half or more graduates r originated from KV who do not need a second house or room to work in KL/KV & another fraction eg 25% work in Penang/Iskandar or other town, all u have is 20-25% graduates likely to rent, with so many sold but vacant unit why should they rent your overpriced shoebox ?
