Saw a shoplot at Kepong Baru asking for 4M plus...

If one were to put that amount in EPF, with 5% per annum dividend, easily 16K a month...No headache and no hassle...

Tis assumption is for someone buying it in cashi

Even so investors r banking on the fun of rental play while having dopamine when the value appreciates

Most ll go with loan so there shouldn't b a fair comparison of having 16k a mth fr epf

Commi n ind tenants ll hav an additional clause in deposit under restoration. The amount depending on how much the rental is. Some x1 some x2. Genuine biz ll not argue. Those who argue can just filter out. Not a serious issue here.

However, under landlord part it's a massive amount to do up if the structure is facing some issues eg leakages. Yes just 4 walls but the height depth is a killer if doing up waterproofing which is pretty common.

There are reasons why people rent instead of buying. Well the obvious is expenses claim for business. U can't do it if the co buys the property. Can only claim for depreciation.

Is balancing between tax payment and capital appreciation.

Property is only brick and mortar. Don't fall in love with it. If investor don't sell, the spouse or children will.

Pretty much agreed with tis as I have seen many kids rushing to sell when the parents no longer around.

Having said tat I have been telling my kids to let me know if they r willing to learn n manage the props. I have half props in my portfolio more than 20yrs. Best part of doin so is to max the potential rental roi.

If kids r not interested then sell 1 by 1 n let them reinvest elsewhere even abroad. Tis oso to minimise the process to handle probates later.

Prop game is an asset if one knows how. It's a liability if one doesn't wanna learn.

Back to the topic. A 3m 4m corner shop is not excessively expensive for today's standard especially if the loc is top notch. A simple smd fac nowadays oledi has a starting price of 3m within 20km fr kl. Or 2m n above if further away. A detached one is much higher. Wats a 3m 4m corner shop is if giving gd rental in gd loc.

An extreme example ll b telawi. The price nvr giv in n the rest is history regardless with laughter or tears.
