how would you define cheap maintenance?

Another factor, sometimes we are forced to take bigger size unit to get more car park slot. Not that we really want the bigger unit

3b2b 1k sf 2cp - Malaysia standard

if maintenance fee less than 300 for 1000sf condo

Bigger the unit, higher maintenance fees you pay. So no one size fit all.
But trend is towards smaller units about 800 sq ft these days. Easier to sell and lower monthly maintenance fees

But most important is the management of the property. Big or small doesn't matter. If JMB not working or owners not paying, then vomit blood. Leakages or paint work terrible state. Lifts are also very expensive items. If sinking funds not enough, then no money to repair. Residents suffer. Some owners don't care. They rent to anybody...from foreigners to whoever and "forget" to pay maintenance fees.

if you want to have an exit strategy, you need to have at least 1000sq and above. Usually, people buying subsale is for upgrading. Those smaller sizes might be less desirable.
