This is what we call life, life is never guarantee or certain. Heck you could be even die of heart attack tonight.

So glad I bought my 1st property at age 21, sold then another at 29 year old, sold and just bought my 3rd last year. Total profit from the  1st 2 properties is RM600k.

200k condo when I was earning 3k, 420k terrace house when I was earning 8.5k and new semid 1.75m with salary confidential (way above 5 figures definitely to afford it) 🤐

Life is all about taking chances, work smart to achieve what you want in life.

He is getting 24K lol

Im assuming he bought 1st house was say 20 years ago, earning 3K that time would probably means like now earning 10K.

Cant compare now with last time lor... my parents bought single storey terrace house 40 years ago for 80K iinm, now worth atleast 500K

buy something that's affordable. don't go over the budget.
utk gua, ada tempat berteduh, dah bersyukur.
i sold off my condominuim, bila recession came. it worsen, when ex bini diagnosed with early stage c. during that time, gaji kena potong. ex kena retrenchment. luckily ada savin, but depleted fast for ex treatment at 2 private hospital, and 1 kat sing. after treatment semua, confirmed out of danger. after long, she belah with former ex boyfriend. gua terpongeh, dibuat mcm sampah.
for the condo, i took 17yrs loan. left another 2yrs+ to settle. since recession hit hard on me, savin bcome telor, bcome depressed, me decided to sell it off. moreover, need m to take care of 2kiddos.
last last, bought a freehold apartment in melaka. pay cash for it. atleast ada tempat sendiri utk duduk...

Not really. U can look for properties that is around 200K making your monthly payment around 1K.
Or 400K property monthly payment around 2K.

If know how to find good spot can sell it later for profit.

Don't give up bro. Just set aside some money every month and keep an eye out for some good deals. Not all houses are super expensive.

Also, if you are starting out, maybe try to rent some place close to your workplace. That will save you a lot of time and money. Good luck!

Nowadays the access of that particular assets are much more important rather to own the assets.

40 years ago salary berapa?..

Interest rate berapa?..

Ease of getting loan to what extent?

Buying a home has NEVER been "easy".

Demographics change, cities grow and getting more populated.

It's just how it is.

I bought a house with installment payment as much as I pay for rent when I was bachelor. That was my limit. A small apartment, now I rent it out as I bought another house. So profit goes to my new house. Only pay half the installment of the new house. Not really scared for the house as if bad time come I just need to apply KWSP account 2 to cover the house. As far as I check long ago, should be enough to cover nearing to 5 years of installment.

It'd been few years already,  iam a very fickle minded whenever to decide buying a house. I WANT to buy a house because i want it, not saja saja, but Everytime i seriously thought about buying a property (own stay), i put hours hours hours of research and consideration. So many what ifs in my mind,  to the point i gave up tbe idea of buying a house and going debt free route and save as much and enjoy life as much as i can.

The What Ifs

1. I lost my job?
2. My salary got cut?
3. More pandemic coming?
4. if i buy a house can i still afford to do thing i used to do?
5. What if i change job or company relocate me somewhere more farther?
6. What If there's a sudden big increment of non bank commitment,  like kids, etc etc
7. Age is middle 30, what If i hold a little longer,  save money and buy house at 45 year old, then only eligible for 25 years loan. Donno can afford or not
8. Unexpected repair bill?
9. Will iable to save more for retirement?

Above questions are not for you.

At the moment I'm enjoying my life, car loan will finish soon, sometimes i felt too comfortable and boring. Can own a house make life less dull?

Seen and heard many cases that many people were getting fired this year i suddenly become coward to commit. Even a high income like pilots can be layed off.

Should i enjoy my debt free life?

Do you have the fear of buying a house?

My suggestion is you still young and able to take up the house loan up to 30 years. When you reach 40, it’s getting harder to get longer loan period unless you are financially sound. Just spend 30% on your income to secure a house for yourself. Don’t be like me taking risk, I spent almost 80% on housing and highly depending on rental income to sustain. FYI, I’m late to 20s. My debt for two houses nearly 500k (my portion) and I had invested 200k on properties (life is not so interesting compared to others)?

PRIMA / WIP kan ada ..

Regardless, stil need saving also .. what's the point if you do not save because in the end you will have NOTHING ..

Even I can afford RM1M property, my current house is only RM300k ..

Daripada sibuk2 PRIma / WIP baik bukak bussiness kedai makan ke francais serbenaka ke kedai dobi ke kalau air mineral 500ml rm1.50 kat depan prima/wip. Diorang pun x boleh komplen sebab tu je pilihan je ada

Nak murah? Start you engine pergi la kedai lain. Bayar la duit parking & duit masa.

Untung niaga dapat dari situ beli la rumah kat EcoCity ke desapark ke.

There is no security in retirement if you don't own a house. Cash in hand is subject to inflation and depreciation.

The emotion in buying property is strange. Before you buy any property, u tend to worry lots of things. But once you have bought 1, most people will plan for second/third/... properties. The worries/fears diminished.
