Look, altho im very biassed towards Maytower, its not like its the perfect investment. I could think of 3 mains cons when it comes to Maytower :

1. Built quality is only average.
2. Mayland has a bad reputation as a developer and to have known to screw their buyers despite their track record as property managers is quite decent actually.
3. Flooding - Apparently is prone to floods but personally I have never encountered this before after a few months.

sassyset,

INMVHO, this is not a good time to invest in real estate. Malaysia's RE is still on a bubble that could burst in mid 2009 or early 2010. The pattern is there - very low interest rate on loans (just like the US) that will inflate property's price and for now it will rise up very fast but I'm thinking that the price will drop faster than the time it takes to settle your purchase paperworks.

There's this project by WingTaiAsia - Veritas Residensi (i pass their billboard sign everyday to work) on Bukit Ceylon (near Raja Chulan) - price from 2.3m for 2 bedrooms onwards (6m for a penthouse). I nearly choked on my morning breakfast.

In times like these, cash is king so collect some bullets instead and go shopping when the time is right I started on RE 3 years ago when I was 23. I withdrew all my life savings, almost gave my parents a heart attack and bought things that appreciate (houses, some investments here and there) instead of a new car or an iPod
