again, its all talk, no facts. No wonder it u need 10 YEARS of studying in properties before you FINALLY sign the dotted line. Heh,a slow-learner....aren't you?




Look woman/dude, I believe I did enquire politely on your "30% discount". Your case perk my interest as doesnt make sense :

1. That your agent is so "kind" to pass a home-run deal to a stranger when he himself could have bought the property and reap at least 30% cap gains. Or if he doesnt have the $$$$$, there's always family and friends. So why pass to you, a stranger?

2. 30% off ACTUAL developer's price, is really unheard of. Has anyone else in this forum offered 30% off from the developer's actual price?

3. You BLINDLY refuse the fact that there's a POSSIBILITY that the developer might have manipulated the S&P and dismiss my thoughts as being silly, either due to your scratched ego OR you simply have no clue that developers are capable of pulling such act.

Lastly, no one asked you to disclose any personal information about yourslef. All I asked was general information regarding the property, to clarify this exceptional case so that EVERYONE here can learn something. This is a FORUM, where ideally ppl should share + exchange information & thoughts. When you kept facts to yourself and simply dismiss other's opinion with no facts, no one here learns anything.

My 2 cents

again, this is ALL TALK and again zero facts from you, old man. Perhaps Yewkhuay will have a better luck in getting you to share.

And you had to bring my mom into our PROPERTY-RELATED argument? Seriously, u remind me of primary school students





wait a minute...........










u r not a primary school student, right?

i think conjestion is a major problem anywhere in KL. You cant escape this problem even if you are paying 200k more for DPC or SPK properties.

And while the contruction of shophouses may be negative factor TODAY, Im quite sure LR will enjoy a good upside once the commercial area matures

mate,

let me get this straight, your current rental p/m now is 2.1k, and your monthly nett income from this property is RM150, right?

Read your post somewhere, and remembered you mentioned RM150, which doesnt make any sense to me if your yield is 11%.

RM250+- should be the ball park figure I suppose.

There, u mentioned its RM150

Mate, u can check out Sentul's compact double story houses. Its damn small but u can buy them for about 100k. But its leasehold lar.

jc mate, u still lookin'? Try DU DSLs. Sometimes u can get old units for less than 400k.

1. Yes, and do you really need a 4500sqf house? 300sqf0 is more than sufficient, to be honest.
2. Check out Kelana Jaya Semi-dees, FH and cost less than a mil_ Steady capital gains.
3. Yup, maintenance fee and upkeep cost will be quite high.
4. Why not? Check out Bukit Utama, cost less than 500k, FH, near KDU and decent size (abot 1.8k sqf)

I know its always nice to own something "bigger" but your own house is a liability, hence get one that is "just nice" and reasonably priced. Check out KJ's SS3, SS4 and SS5,(not near to golf course, but quite near to Giant) the houses are a bit old, but can always reno to your own liking.


Bukit Utama is in BU.



Anyway, if you are buying for long term own stay, should always go for freehold properties.

got, check out their SouthLake DS

Chief,

I never did any research on DPC as most of the properties in DPC are way beyond my budget. My general take on DPC :

1. Very pricey
2. Location is OK, not too bad but not that fantastic either.
3. Overall is dem nice place to stay.
4. good, responsible developer. Maintenance is top notch.
5. Think this place is reasonably popular among expats, as it offers condo facilities but u get to stay on landed properties.
6. Very few competition.
7. Maintenance fee is a killer.

IMO, if you are buying for own stay, u have the means and u love the place so much, just buy it. Own stay properties cant be considered as investments anyway, so my advise to you is to cherish your purchase and dont look back.

But, from invetsment perspective, think are other better options, IMO.
