Lawyer fees for buying a house and selling a house is different. Selling is always cheaper than buying...

Properties in Penang Island is booming and is always the best if you would compare to stock market and Forex, (I am talking about a landed property). The best area for INVESTMENT on landed properties is from Gelugor to Bayan Baru currently, I personally like Sungai Dua / Taman Pekaka.

Reasons: * Strategic location-- Tesco Extra, School, Shops, USM, Food Courts, 2 minutes to and from the bridge, Shopping Malls, Wet Markets, and etc...
* Price-- This area housing price are still reasonable, Less Investor "goreng"
* Easy Excess-- Yap Chor Yee Road, Jln Sungai Dua (linked to at least 3 or 4 excess)
* Easy to rent out: Imagine! a 4 rooms double terrace can partition up to 10 rooms and each room you can rent to USM or Inti College student for RM250 each with aircond RM350 and get rental for RM2500 a month minus the monthly installment say RM2200 assuming you loan abt RM500K. The USM students will be serving the housing loan for you until USM or Inti College relocate... (which is impossible) .

I personally bought 2 houses there and already convert to student hostel 1 with 8 rooms and 1 with 10 rooms. Guess what, I am making about RM500 a month after paying the installments.
