Buying property is all about location, location & location
Don't blindly buy.

I’m in a similar situation. Still undecided whether to invest in a commercial property (with a 25 year bank loan) or continue with fixed deposits, ASMs, and stock investments.

I found a commercial property project priced at RM1.8M (nett), with surrounding projects fetching rentals of around RM8K± per month.

Appreciate your thoughts or advice on this.

8k rental for RM1.8 mil property not worth if take bank loan
If RM800k property no brainer

I calculated, need to spend around 150k for downpayment + under construction interest + MOT.  Monthly rental should able to cover bank installment (or top up around 1k monthly).

My plan is to hold around 5 years then can cash out for my kids education.

Appreciate if you can share why you think 8k is not worth to invest?

Because the yield is low. That's all
Some more you need to top up every month
To cash out within 5 years, are you confident the commercial property can hold the value or appreciate? If taking bank loan, you are paying interest only the first few years
