I've read a study, that that's one of the main reasons why the govt maintain bumi lot concept in property industry. Traditionally, you don't find bumi investors often, they buy a house because of need, not greed, so they're not the type who would queue in sales gallery at 3am.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. 

you really believe majority are genuine buyers? many are hired by developed to boost the hype.

That's what I'm saying. Non-investors don't do this.

my advise, never buy a development that is super huge, like those in Shah Alam forgot the name but got 1 big roundabout and the taman itself is a huge roundabout. there's at least 1000 houses there. when you build such big project, every penny counts because they end up amount to big savings, so no doubt they will cut as much cost as they can. there's security on many sections but with so many houses & surrounded by forest/lakes/highways, it's sitting ducks. i won't dare jogging at their fancy lakeside at night or early mornings.

it's better to get decent quality older houses than brand new development.

since you in BP, i'm guessing with a decent money you can get quite decent houses.

also try to avoid areas with kampung or flats very nearby, because usually got issues.
