I don't think sqft really matters for those renting room. Conveniency is the priority.

Nowadays under current market and huge influx of high rise volume, owners need to adopt Chinaman mindset (minimum dp to "break even", partition, split out car park etc) else rental play also susah........

I'm not sure how do you classify short term.
For me short term is anything less than 1 year while 1 year and above can be considered long term?
Most of my uni mates rent for 3-5 years before committing to buy their own properties. Some even still renting now after 8 years of graduation.

Per room rental basis will be more practical. Take the 810sqft no balcony unit for example.

Master room 700
Medium room 600
Small room 500
Car park 100
Total 1900

Buy in price at 450k nett for example.
Yield 5% and you need to manage 3 different party. As usual the more you are required to manage, the higher the return.

Anything 1 yr and below is short term.
Long term is 2 yrs and above.

Anyone knows anyone sign boxes units for 2 yrs ans above?
Most only sign for one year and 6c6c elsewhere. So every year also need to look for tenant n likely lose vacant period and commission yearly

Well.. My last 800+ after condo rent out for the past 6 yrs
...per room basis... What I can say is if their job location didnt change far usually won't change living place

room rental is very hot actually especially those walkable near to LRT/MRT. I posted just 1 ads on ibilik and 1 ads on mudah.my in October last year.
Only once. Never bump or anything.

Until today people still calling and ask whether got vacancy or not.

Just like i mention above. you need to manage more just to earn more. like those doing airbnb, they need to manage even more. that's it.

Is yr last 800+ after condo also no balcony no dry yard?
All tenants use washer and dryer or just go down to dobi downstairs?

People will share unit with strangers?
True?

Really sad case.

Yes

I got unit ... the rooms rent out with diff tenants.... can get mostly 6k per month

U really from atas..

Is a norm. Some even willing to share the same room with 1 or 2 or even 3 strangers (big master room).
For subletter, they even partition out the living area as additional extra room to rent out. Possible no living area. Just enough space to place a dining table that's it.

Just curious, isn’t that plot of land part of the perhilitan forest reserve?

Already jual for profit?

And how’s the take up rate?

Cheras Sentral/plaza Phoenix famous for bad fengshui!

Buka apa, tutup apa

Cinema + jaya grocer + Starbucks, + gym

Still can’t survice and from jaya to hero to full chaplap supermarket.

I understand if its a known person sharing same room.
If stranger....must be bangla arrangment.

Wondering if you've ever rent a room before? This is still pretty common even for locals. If you want cheap rent around 100-200, you gotta share with others. Usually people will try to rent with friends, but shit happens, and you gotta pay rent anyhow, so you advertise to strangers. It's very common among students, but still not that unusual for working adults too.

obviously someone is rather detached from reality. even a rich investor with no experience renting or living who does due diligence on ibilik or similar websites would know this...
