for family or single?

CA = Capital Appreciation, with the intent of hoping that you earn via market value price increase in future, so you can sell for a profit.

CF = Cash Flow, with the intent that a steady supply of rental income gives you a constant flow of cash.

Simple: Debatable, depends on location and demand.

Complicated answer:

In the past this would easily be a "yes", but in current market for Klang Valley where

- supply of new property is plentiful due to constant high rise developments entering the market
- families in general are smaller, with less children
- people are marrying later, or not at all
- population in general is turning into an ageing society
- median income has not kept up with higher cost of living and higher property prices

trying to rent out a house to a family is only possible if the family really likes the location, wants the space, don't have home inherited from older generation, and don't mind the higher overall cost of renting a house.

This means the target market of landed home rental is fairly narrow, since a household that can afford the market rate of landed rent for the whole unit, can also easily afford to buy a high rise and/or rent a fairly luxurious high rise, and high rise typically have the benefits of being nearer to CBD + near to amenities + have facilities. Many families with young children also don't like that landed usually difficult to get good security unless the area is affluent/landed is gated strata/the neighborhood RA is very strong.

A lot of houses end up being partitioned off and rent room by room, if market for whole unit rental is poor or it's more profitable to rent by room (to students/fresh grad workers). The older houses around Sunway/Monash University and UTAR area is prime example, because it's much more profitable to rent as student housing.

Based on my experience, when renting to families, especially those with children, the house tends to incur more damage. Even minor issues such as a clogged sink, likely caused by tenant, would require you to handle the repairs.

However, when renting to companies for employee accommodations, they usually have a regular maid service to clean the premises, and the company will cover the costs of minor repairs due to the benefits provided to their employee comes first
