my opinion on this... for some, its more on what we can afford rather than what we can dream of.. i would love to get those properties that you mentioned above, but i am not financially strong to even afford to buy it.. thus i choose this as the best alternative based on what i can afford.. here in Kita@LBS, a DS comes with a price tag of rm560k (before discount).. but after 10% discount, it becomes somewhat "affordable" lah to get loan approvals...

for malay reserved land stigma... yes, it is not easy to sell as you need to get consent for pej tanah & pbt.. and the process may take some time.. but i do notice some malay reserved land are located at strategic locations... i had last year sold my malay reserved property in bukit lanjan/sg penchala (near bandar utama) area which i purchased 7-8 years ago... and i did managed to get back 3-4 times the amount from what i had purchased back then.. other factors can also give effect... if economy is slow, buyer purchasing power is low... even if you have a prime property in kpg baru (a malay reserved land example), it doesnt guarantee that you can get good returns..

oh ya... i bought this property not for short term investment, but rather for long term use.. since it nearer to my family living within the surrounding area..
pay progressive =  yes, esp for properties under dev.. we pay based on the total amount that the dev claimed from the bank.. if sub-sale then have to start full payment..
the part where the agent said dev pay the other half... my advise bro... please kill the stupid agent or look for other agent..
takkan dapat kot.. dengkil pun dengkil lah.. janji dekat ngan cyber.. 
if i'm not mistaken kita bayu 20x60 has been fully taken up.. unless ada yg back-out or loaned rejected.. can try to put your name on the waiting list (but you need to pay rm2k booking).. else can consider kita harmoni.. i was on a waiting list for a townhouse unit and i was lucky to get a unit..

corner lot tu mcm end lot jugak, cuma dia terletak antara dua block unit rumah... ada land sikit kat tepi... price wise, extra dlm 20-25k je dari standard list price utk tanah extra & juga location end lot tu... my advise, better gi cepat booking kalau berminat.. kalau tak kejap je abis unit tu nanti..

utk yg dah beli, bleh join FB page ni... ada link utk join ke whatsapp group kita@bayu residents..

any updates bro? tak silap LBS ada participate bumi expo kat aeon shah alam last week, takut ada yg dah booking slot kosong tu..
tinggi tu.. ada submit document kat bank lain tak? better tggu offer dari bank lain/folow up dgn banker.. avg sini dapat between 4.1-4.2.. ada yg lower... est monthly repayment dlm 1.7k avg..
2k burn.. unless semua loan reject boleh dapat balik kalau tak silap.. tapi dlm kes ni ada satu bank yg approve..
