If I were in your shoes, I make sure the property is in a right location. So that it commands a good demand and rental rate. The 1st thing is to make sure the loan repayment is acceptable, and then find out the monthly service charge of the condo. So when you finally bought the condo, you can choose to stay in 1 room, and rented out the other room to partly cover your loan and service charge payment. This would be a good stratergy for non married single person. You reduce your loan payment by letting other people pay for you. Yeah buying a property with no money down is doable with some developer. Usually this occur with under construction property.

F1meteor,

1) You need to have 3 to 6 months of savings after paying down payment and so on.  So, that is about 12K to 24K.

2) Your monthly payment for ALL LOANS need to be less than 28% of your gross monthly income.

3) Others can tell you about S&P and so on.. I think that is another  3% to 6%

4) Renovation plus furnishing can run you another 10K to 30K.

5) Down payment?

Add all of them up.

I do not think anyone should buy 100K apartment.  Landed property is much much better and it does nto cost that much.

yeah i agree though you can buy property with no down payment, you still need capital. its the cost to furnish your home, spa, legal fees and stamping fees. that easily amounted to thousands of ringgit.
