2 bedroom and 1 bathroom.
True, for me personally won’t make sense to rent at 1.7k to ride to MRT then travel all the way to KL. And it’s true, i’d rather stay a bit further and drive to MRT then walk to it if i can get cheaper rental and bigger space but for as long as the parking rate is feasible too.
But then sesat la uncle, i also keep looking for place with good prospects within 300-380k, proves to be harder than expected 🥲
Uncle don't have crystal ball, can't tell you what to do, haha.
But I think first you need to ask yourself why do you want to buy a property first. If your purpose is purely for investment, then ask yourself, in worst scenario, can this unit be used for own stay? I see the information you shared all seen like feed by agent, this is what I call "sell side" story, just to make you bite the bait. Maybe this project can make money, but do you have confidence on it and exit strategy if it turn sour? And can this be a house for you to get marry and stay with your partner with future kid? Or worst, do you able to cut loss with extra cash to settle short fall of loan?
Uncle used to be young before, during my day, the property price was booming, in just one year, landed price increased from 300 to 600, condo price easily became double once got the key, 180k become 400k in puchong area. Uncle' s gang also talk about property everyday, something like you must buy or else you will be loser, that kind of mindset. Same as the the "topglove" story in mco, haha.
But luckily I am conservative, only spend within my mean to buy an affordable double story in Semenyih, and after that met my gf who later become my wife, and over the years we constantly renovate it when we got higher income and big bonus, and frequently change furniture. This year we manay to sell it with good profit and moved to bigger landed house. While for those friend who bought with good location, good facilities, good reputation and hot selling condo project, all down in water after 2016. Some manage to cut off with EPF ACC 2, some got financial assistance from. One bought small 700sqf condo with two room during the peak in 2014, thinking can make very good profit, now mkt price is 150k lesser than his loan, and he got two small daughters growing up, soon running out of space, how to exit? Unless he got very high income to buy another bigger unit, which is impossible to him at the moment. The kids expenses are beyond imagination. Think twice before you make significant move in your life unless you got strong family wealth or your income is very high enough for you to take risk
