Depends on the individual preference and circumstances...
I still know a number of friends (chinese) who still stay at this type of places. They are doing ok.
Only issue is finding for parking sometimes and risk of your car getting damaged.

Rental yield can be quite decent.
For me, I won't bother thinking of the hassle, complexity and risk of doing this sort of arrangement.
Not worth my time, sweat and tears.

Only those with a few million extra cash to burn can afford to do this.
There are too many black swan events happening every year, why risk so much just to gain peanuts. 

Racun...racun

cash rich after taking profit on BPPLAS and PMETAL...ada apa boleh beli?

Saw this website with simple illustrations on share margin financing.

The margin call still happen as long as the share based amount shrinks and hits the margin call threshold.
I was thinking alternatively, to use safe but strong blue chip counters (e.g Nestle), defensive stocks and perhaps some selective Reits to pledge and/or to use for investments to maximise on the leverage.
Tendency for this type of counters to go down should be limited to some extend and should either remain status quo or rise up even higher, hence allowing more funds for u to invest with lower risk of a margin call.

KYY mentioned previously he had a few margin calls recently when most of his export counters dip. So I think having a balance portfolio for the pledge and investments is critical.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 ― The financial markets may respond adversely if Treasury secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah, who sits on 1Malaysia Development Berhad’s (1MDB) board of advisers, is made Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) governor, an economist said.

Time to re-enter export counters

Sorry hah. May I know what is DIPS stand for?  

To put it in the simplest term, DIBS is a scheme where a property developer absorbs the home loan interest of the home buyers during the construction period of a property. 

If you buy a house that comes with a DIBS, the developer will pay any home loan interest that is borne by you during construction (which is usually 36 months starting from project launch).  Thereafter, you will service the loan interest as you would a normal home loan.

Thankssifu   . That explain why the property stock got some movement this week....
So it good time to enter some property stock?

OT a bit...

Purely a speculative play

On the home loan trick...
I get my EPF moolah...
On paper, he sells his property to me
He still continue pay his current monthly loan instalment, only that this will become a "rental" payment
This "rental" payment goes toward paying my home loan
End of the rental period, he still get back his home ownership, I gonna transfer back to him at zero consideration
This is a genuine home purchase, no main tipu

I think I can do better than EPF

I tak nak the headache of collecting rental and maintaining the property...that's why I went into REITs, remember?

Where you buy ?
What mine 2 sen - if you buy for long term like 5-9year onwards juz go ahead.

1) Rule 1 : Rental yield > Reits yield.

2) Rule 2 :  committed
