1. Can further explain "help from parents"? Ayanna is offering 13% rebate iirc, hence no DP required, no acquisition cost too like legal fees, stamp duty etc.
Age doesnt limit your property purchase, your financial profile is. If you're financially well and can afford 1 mil property, why not?

2. If you already plan to sell it in the future, so ignore those advice saying "if you like it, just buy since you're buying for own stay". You must think of the exit plan at the time of your purchase. Not only exit plan, but also holding plan in case you cant sell. Can the rental cover your instalment? I agree to what Bigman bro suggested go for somewhere where chinese population is >50%, the more the better. My condo in Wangsa Maju, despite fetching good rental, want sell also no value, just cover cost only. Prime part of bukit jalil want sell also not easy d, kinrara? err...

3. You're going to tie the knot very soon, go for subsales, look for those completed recently or going to complete soon especially your parents willing to help. Buying new project for own stay is a gamble, everything based on imagination only. And many things can happen in 4 years, you may want to change your plan but got stuck with this.

4. Some say always avoid condo and go for landed, I only agree to a certain extent. I will only go for landed at good location, GnG, freehold and if my family grows bigger. I had been staying in landed for 30 years before I moved to condo 5 years back. Me and my wife prefer condo over landed. Easier to take care, less house chores to take care, facilities for our kid to enjoy, better security etc. 16xxsf is never too big for a family of 2 or 3. I'm staying in 15xxsf unit with wife and baby, just nice. If financial allows, go for bigger unit. Dont be afraid to rent, although chinese always prefer to own a property. I own properties but I moved out from my own property and rent a unit in Park 2 Pavilion, best decision ever. My rental is 50% lesser than the instalment and maintenance charges if i were to buy a unit here. You can rent first and wait for Ayanna to complete, then go see yourself and buy subsale. I believe the price wont appreciate a lot by then but you elimate all the risk.

5. I'm actually quite surprise many say this is a good location. With the upcoming Ayanna and Vierra, and also plenty of vacant lands nearby, you might want to check the access roads during peak hours now and imagine how it's going to be especially rumawip has 16xx units and most of them come with 1 car park.

My 2c on the 15xx sf unit doesnt relate to this ayanna purchase decision. I was referring to the idea of getting big size units after we have more than 2 children or plan to stay with parents which i don't agree on it. If you noticed, i mentioned i rent a 15xx sf unit in Park 2, if I were to buy a unit of Park 2 during its launch (which i booked but cancelled afterwards to make way for Aster), I would have bought a unit around 1000sf. For own stay, it's always better to buy a completed unit which fits your current requirements and preference

Well, one man's medicine is another man's poison. I believe every areas also sure got people wanna stay there.
Aurum got MRT2 and also in a mature township itself

I have 4 units in Aster if u wanna know.
I bought 2 side by side units for own stay as my parents staying in cheras.
As i said, plans always change. My wife prefer to stay in Bukit Jalil

Sold 1 unit in Aster bought at 534k at 650k...stagnant?

And also Aster so far only 1 unit got auctioned off at first round auction, second unit called off d

I was saying Aurum in a mature township, which is sri petaling.
Never did i say aurum is a township

Big big boss's strategy is different, focusing on CA while small potato we need to have the cashflows, else my name will appear on lelongtips.
There's no right or wrong, go for the one we are comfortable with

Anyhow, the main point of my post was to tell TS if wanna buy project, dont ignore the investment value coz we wont be 100% sure that we will be staying in as plans changes.
