Hmm, Serenia or Greenwoods. Both are freehold, around the same vicinity. But Greenwoods entry price is a lot cheaper unsure.gif

Not sure bout Keranji. The last time I PM the agent it was for 96 Residence.
1K for booking. Zero DP. 10% discount. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I havent visited the actual site for Serenia but usually just passby there on the way to KLIA(on the left side before kota warisan). I have visited the Keranji project and for me its quite far inside. If i compare these 2 from current accessibility i think serenia is very close to cyberjaya(well since i'm working there).However , i dont know if the interchange or new roads will make any difference for Keranji.
*
How close is Serenia to Cyberjaya in terms of driving? Around 20 mins?
Me too, haven't visited the actual site yet, just passed by along Elite the other day.

hi guys... im considering to buy adiva but need to know from you guys especially those buying for investment instead of own stay... why do u guys buy Amani??... i feel it's not really giving u positive cashflow once it ready for VP... So i have few question i hope u guys can shed light on me about this...
1. Can anyone tell me precisely if we plan to rent out to Xiamen students,would still be a good chance to rent out to them cos there are a lot of hostels that are currently being built for them...Students are expected to reach 4k by end of 2018 from the news i read,and expected to reach 10k by 2020..do u guys really convinced that they can reach that 10k figure and are the hostels would be able to accomodate all the 10k students ?? if the hostels are able to accomodate all,then investors clearly would lost their chance to reap a good rental from the students. Yes those buyers can get good rental from the steward/stewardess but they are not so many of them,average rental in Kota warisan/ saujana klia/ salak tinggi for DSL only RM1500.
Monthly installment expected from rm2200-2500 for the amani/adiva,so tell me guys what is your opinion on this .... I would love to know what's gonna be your strategy to fetch up good rental in that area...

2.Anyone knows how long the distance from Amani/Adiva to the Xiamen university ?
*
As for me, landed is not for cash flow game, it is highly unlikely to break-even RM2500 installment for your property. You can do quick check in Mudah, PropertyGuru or Propwall and see the current asking rental in Sepang.

My 0.02 cents rupiah.

Buying landed generally is a good investment, especially from a reputable developer developing a township.
But do note that there are always risk as in other investment.

SC has the potential to grow but you need to know what are ur capability and is your plans align with SC growth.
You mentioned rental income from Xiamen students but is the property you plan to acquire within walking distance of the university?
Then are the rentals able to cover your installment and what is ur installment amount? Can u afford a higher down payment to reduce the monthly installment?

Generally, if you take a 90% loan, I doubt there is any new projects that can give u positive cash flow from rentals. Possible if you buy an auction units that the price has fallen way below the market but that is a story for another day.

The strategy of collecting rental and hold for a few years for capital appreciation is not that straight forward. U need to top up every month and allocate sum for repair and maintenance and also to pay for quit rent, assessment and insurance.
Not for a year or two but possibly for 5 to 10 years.
Financial discipline and excess funds are required for this.
Do you have them?

Holding ur property and not renting it out to minimize damage need to be weighted against the cost of monthly installment. You will be paying installment without any income. If you rent out at RM1500 per month, earning RM18,000 per year vs the cost to repair damages done in a year by the tenant.
Is it worth it?

Then comes the greatest fear.
What if after holding for 5 to 10 years and you find that your property capital appreciation is only 25% to 30%. What if.
What if your Amani or Adiva only had a market value of 700k after 5 to 10 years.
Why?
Bcos there are newer and more attractive options at prices around 750k. What would be your strategy then.
Who are your target buyers in 5 to 10 years time?
Gen. X - highly unlikely. Gen. Y - Maybe. Gen. Z - Likely.
Thus, what are Gen. Y and Z preference?
Is your property able to capture their interest?

The age old strategy of buying and holding for capital appreciation is due for a shake up and it's best we prepare for it.

Then again these are just my 0.02 cents rupiah.
Ignore an old man's rambling. Long holiday got nothing better to do.

Actually, who is the target tenant or occupier for Sepang? Will those working in KL stay in Sepang and commute daily to KL?

My guess are those working within KLIA, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya.

The development is close to Salak Tinggi ERL station. I know many of my friends who work in the city centre who takes the ERL daily from Salak Tinggi and lives in Sepang.
*
A quick check in ERL webpage, the fare from Salak Tinggi to KL Sentral is RM18.30 per trip. Quite expensive to commute daily if using ERL sweat.gif

Every morning, the Salak Tinggi ERL is packed with people working in KL commuting. Most of them live nearby in Kota Warisan, Salak Tinggi, Banting and Dengkil. SC is definitely very attractive as the township is not far from the ERL station and Elite highway exit. Very convenient even if you don't work within Sepoang, Cyberjaya or Putrajaya area.

I see. That is something new to me. Thanks for the info smile.gif

Where do you work? Elmina is in Shah Alam while Serenia is in Sepang. Design wise, I would choose Elmina, price wise, Serenia got my vote biggrin.gif

Too many players in Sepang right now, SP Setia will be launching their township as well.

IOI, KIP, Paramount, Sunsuria, Glomac, Sime Darby and SP Setia. Good for own stayers as buyers are spoil for choices.
