Bukit Puchong is not really in the middle of nowhere, it is an ideal location for those who work in Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, KLIA/KLIA2...etc Not everyone in Klang Valley works in the city centre, different areas have their different target markets

Rate quite low like 1k only, unless I find good tenant else I wont rent. The rental might not enough to recover for the damage done and I hv to put in effort to manage the tenant. Not worthy. For now I feel the best is for own use only

Many told me property make more money rather than put your money in bank - inflation, low interest, currency dropped, blabla. Hence I also try to invest and hope able to gain in next few years. For now just tighten the belt and patiently wait. Tropicana city studio also can fetch 600k plus, why cant my studio get 450k? Just time only and it is freehold so no worry to hold.

at 450k u could have bought a double storey near that location doh.gif

Wow, interesting story, i crawl through this 7 pages thread + kopitiam's 13 pages on TS's story.

Btw, hioniq, mind to share what's ur actual plan for now? Studio only selling for RM330K on iproperty, with negotiation probably down to 300K.
And rental seems unfavourable and u don't want to manage tenants

Kopitiam that post already off-topic discussion, so i ask & kepoh here.

Well, seems MCO did not affect ur job, so u r able to continue to pay for the next 10 20 30 years. Keep it up.

Anyway, if u have children, it wont be a good choice for own use too

In property investments, one should never be emotionally attached to the property.

If sold for 300k after agent fees and everything and clear loan of 340k maybe he still have a 50k hole to fill in for a bad decision in 2017.

If he is rich and can afford it of coz continue to pay and rent out is better

COCR on property only works if can flip quickly else need to pump in more cash continuously.

leverage amplify profit as well as losses.

property is illiquid, not easy to cut loss.

if property price rise slower than loan interest incurred is financial loss.

negative cash flow could be more devastating than paper loss.
