Just let me give you some information or reasons for starting a BH.
1. To me, this is the best investment as you never lose but gain and as in any investment, you may not gain or your gain may not be as much aa the others. When you are successful, you may get back your investment in 5 years and still have all property worth sometime over 3 times the investment. Even if you fail and wish to give up, you sitlll get back what you invested as other esp. fellow successful investors will buy cos they know where you fail or at least they think they do and they are not sharing because one person lose is another one gain....seem selfish but lit normal as in any type of venture.

2. Let me give an example, a friend bought a BH at over 1.5 M and he has been harvesting the nests for a few years and he is already almost getting hie investment back but that is not the jack pot, someone just offer his BH for a cool Rm4M....where on earth can you get these return and this security of return.......it id just  like hand you win, tail don't lose.

3. How much, these all depend on how you are going to do it and let give another example, a friend only has a room for the birds and he is successful and is harvesting over few Kgs every harvest. Not all investers are successful, some are slow, some are fail, too but as I mentioned, even if you fail, you don't lose....just you don't gain. Never listen to sweet talks by those sweet tslking salesmen (CON) and just listen to yourslef and honest friends Who are the honest friends....that's the question??????????????? see, I have a marking " H" on my forehead and "H" for honesty...hahahahaha

Jack, I think the most fundamental thing you need to settle first before anything else is you need to own the property and the property must be located within the flying path of swiftlet.

Hi, Jack. If u thz doing a BH in JB town centre is very eye-catching, why not do it in other small town in Johor?

FYI, 2 storeys BH renovation should cost you around 40k to 50k. Nowadays, ppl normally do two storeys, one storey is not cost-effective.

Good luck and all the best to u.
