please help me..im naive in this area...could anybody who has experience in investing in properties teach me sumting...pls?

Well, to start the "balls" rolling, try read through the topics in this property talk subforum that span more than 5 pages or more. Inside there are many pros with their precious opinions on various property in discussion.

I'm sure you'll get alot of pointers there from them.

ive been reading other posts as well...but it seems that i cant relate it with my situation..(sometimes with the calculation) i dont really understand...so..is it better to buy a houst or an apartment? for investment..


To be specific, targeted area:
sunway, subang, shah alam, puncak alam, pj....

for apartment/condo, usually investors buy and then rent out to other people (usually students), hence they will target their property near colleges/unis

for landed house/condo, they will spot up and coming location, grab a unit there, hold for a few years till it appreciates, then sell off at a healthy margin of profit. Then they will spot another property in another hot area.

Of course, this involves alot of research and homework before you dunk in your hard earned $$$ for the very first property you wish to invest in. The best way is to read more and more opinions by the pros on their favorite areas to invest.

thanx bro! that really helps...btw, whats UR favorite location?

alternatively, you can also look at REITs

what is REITs?

For a new beginner like you, you better arm yourself some basic knowledge about property before you start to burn your money for trial and error.

You should go check Renesial Leong's book "Property Jewel" and "Tenant Jewel" or even invest her in course. http://www.masteryasia.com/propertymastery/register.htm

It's all depends how serious you want to commit yourself. Hope it helps. Cheers.

I totally agreed with this, go and get the knowledge first, go and invest some money and buy these books and of course read it.
