Hi, I need advise from sifus here.

Currently I'm eyeing two houses as below:

1) Workplace (johor)
- 770sqf
- 2 story low medium cost house landed
- rm175k
- second (lawyer spa have to self pay)

2) Hometown (melaka)
- 1200sqf
- 1 story landed
- rm180k
- new (spa lawyer covered by developer)


I work at johor and intend to try to move back to hometown but not right now cause so hard to apply to moveeeee😩😩😩😩. Currently renting. After calculating, rent (i got cheaper than rate) when compared to payment monthly if buy house is almost the same (rent a bit lower but rent house a bit preblematic termite so much you can hear them eating all the time lah ceiling bocor until room 1/4 flooded lah). But a bit luas than 770sqf cause rent house is 1 story 1110sqf.

If buy in johor, would be small a bit. If buy in Melaka, have to pay for 2 houses (melaka not really high rental rate compared to johor).

Which house is better to buy?
- melaka (rent for lower than installment, stay in rented house, pay more a bit)
- johor (stay in bought house)
- johor (stay in slightly cheaper rented house, rent bought house at normal rate)

Thank you all property sifus. Hope can aid me in this matter.

At first wanna invest but then think again feels like just stay. If wanna buy lelong house pun agents grab all from reserve price become almost the same like market price. Lagi kejam developers here now build new houses rm360k - 1 million (site only house haven't built) so clear target wealthy singaporean/ people work in singapore even though this is low income residential area (factory area/workers).


Hmm that seems logical. Just buy the house then stay if can move rent it out. I just started work last 2 years the price here is so high like KL I'm kinda shocked since Melaka still has quite low/affordable house price 😅
