hello, i really need advise to buy or countinue rent a unit...
i am 41years old,got no more family,wife,kids and wanna maintain that way till i die,

the unit i wanted to buy is rm 90k shop apartment studio upstairs (highest floor) 3rd floor NO LIFT just 400 sq.ft (approximately)

and the unit i renting currently is a room rm320 rent + tnb n water rm170 total up about rm 490 a month..landed property

sometimes i wonder y buy a property when i die it will not be pass to anyone, (just a piece of my mind)
but in the mean time,i really like to live in peace aka senyap enviroment,the room i renting got other tenant with kids n near diswahing area,which can jolt me up from sleep when in use,eventhough its for few minute..

pls just advice me (buy or not to buy)

i am kindda unsure,

yes, so poco needs to consider health level now.... healthy or not... if not, look after health

90k is really good, if it's near to mamak/ 99 speedmart/ kopitiam... its not a bad choice at all

you can deisgn your place nicely, but the size is a bit too small for my liking, 20+ ok, 60 you do wish you have a larger house

ya got 99 speedmart,jpn,kwsp,etc....

I prefer marry but prefer single lifestyle

single = easy life

merid wif kids = nah no thx

so if u can choose the mode of life in your own life then choose wiselly,bcause some desicion cant be undone

you don’t need the full amount on confirmation to purchase… normally ready 10-15% of purchase price… it takes time for the lawyers to finalize the transaction and subject to authorities approval for some cases…
talk to your lawyer, they will advise

oh.ok then...should be no problem then

Don't go for 3rd sty shop-apartment. That's walk up, susah nanti. Topmost floor sibeh hot wan.

You should consider those affordable housing by the gov. Those 400-500sqft 1R studio, I think <250k

You are single, 1st time buyer > rsku/ rumahwip is a good buy. Many in the pipeline. Go for it. Have your own space growing old, bro.

Choose those with hypermarkets within walking distance will be good.

You can always sell and move to nursery care (hopefully that will not be the case). Stay healthy, live comfortable within your own space.

Service apartment living with amenities, social connection with neighbours a good vibe.

rumahwip is out of my bajet rm250k..nah ill skip this

If I'm a homeowner, I would think twice to rent out my unit to elderly above 55. Can they pay? are they sick? no relative / kids?  too much red flags.

Ayam support u buy a unit . But as other /ktards have said, survey thoroughly, is the place to your liking? close to amenities? traffic / clinic / food nearby? u like?

climbing stairs, well as long as you keep a healthy body and keep fit, I dun see not much problem. If you fatty bom bom no exercise type, then only I would advice against it .

when needed u can sell the unit and the cash you use to go nursing home instead (after some time) when you are no longer able to live independently.

hope for the best for you , TS.

no lift is good.

cheaper maintenance, and you get to exercise your legs while you are sill young.

Highest floor also means your unit will be more quiet from the noise from the commercial activities on ground floor.

But, this type of property has no facilities, meaning you wont have any interaction with others in the community, so highly likely you will become forever alone, forever.

no issue about comunity..been living comunity less or near no interation for 15 years....its better for me


anyway i waiting for ajen to give me a date for viewing,,,machem no update jer for the past 3-4 days liao...

Rent or buy no big deal actually just like many said no right or wrong as most of the pro and cons can be easily countered

What you really need in your life is .....

A partner who have the same mindset as yours (bf/gf you decide)
As you grow older and become senior many things become a disadvantage to you so no matter what you need a stay together partner to balance out things

Companionship is a need not a want (sex included) and its not hard to find someone with the same mindset/thinking like you

So yea... Just chill and open your eyes bigger try mix around with ppl you are comfortable with who knows the person is there all the while

if got same mindset ladies that i like that would be cool......
