If buy for own stay, you don't have to consider the rental market first, that is false consideration.

If staying at the Strata Property, may I suggest you to understand the neighborhood first before you commit to buy. The main issue with the Strata Property is when you get the 3rd world mentality neighbors living together. It doesn't matter how good the initial facilities given, with the lousy community, the place will go down to drain in no time.

Go understand the community of the places. Go understand their MC/JMB. Look at the notice boards for the maintenance fees defaulters. The place with a lot of defaulters - please avoid at all cost, coz it is confirm will turn into shithole.
