I am thinking of getting an apartment or condo for investment purposes in penang island.
After few months of searching and I found that penang condo price are not in the range that I can afford, unless I go for those low cost apartment or low cost flat like BJ Court or some condo in Relau area.

I am just graduated last year and been working for 6 months. How all the sifu here can advise? Thanks. notworthy.gif

Rental yield for landed property has always been bad in Penang. Only slightly higher than apartment/condo.
Rental yield for apartment/condo used to be okay, but not anymore. The price of highrise has increased too much for the rent to cover, much less make a return out of it.

The places you chose are close to the factories, and are pretty high in demand. I would say a landed property there right now is from 700K to 800K.
For small apartments, I think the price is around 200K to 300K.
Newer apartments > 1000sqf, should be above 350K.

Good time to invest? I don't know.

Last time wanted to grab D'Piazza at around RM280k but didn't made it. Now mostly RM320k to RM330k. =.=
