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.

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

I agree geh

Studio > All

I am renting a studio. 2 years. But that's it. Really small even for just 2 pax. Too many stuff actually filling up the spaces. Need to learn being minimalist after this lol

So if u got a child, don't get studio. Get normal house. At least 800-900sqft (2 kids max)

The smell will remain within your unit unless , you own a premium ventilation. It happened to my 500sf studio.

no... 12 years in klang valley had move in and out 5 property under my name. had only rent in the first 3 years in KV and 2018-2019 when my wife wanted to test out if she can adapt to the lifestyle near my working place. what you really need to do is take the first step and when you repeat this step..you will notice actually there isn't much to worry about. to answer some of your questions:

1. I lost my job? find another one
2. My salary got cut? does it matter? get a house which you could comfortably afford
3. More pandemic coming? no one can tell and yet you still need a roof not?
4. if i buy a house can i still afford to do thing i used to do? why not?
5. What if i change job or company relocate me somewhere more farther? the house will change together with ya
6. What If there's a sudden big increment of non bank commitment,  like kids, etc etc you married mei?
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. when you hit age 45.. you better be damn sure you can buy the house cash. Else for F sick you keep those cash?
8. Unexpected repair bill? like what?
9. Will iable to save more for retirement? sell the house

1st one was in Tropicana, sold within 1 month

2nd is in Setia Alam, sold within 6 weeks

As they said, it’s all about location, location and location. I’ve colleagues who bought in area such as Balakong, Port Dickson crying at lost now.

It also depends on timing, Tropicana was sold back in 2010 and Setia Alam end of 2019.

Lastly, I only buy from reputable and well known developers. Worst if the property is abandoned or quality is like shit
