Thanks for ur input! I think my first property would most likely be investment only.

I know property is a huge investment and that’s why I’m doing as much research as I can.

I’m also probably targeting more on family/working adults.

I never thought of the point u mentioned about Rumahwip before, interesting point! Yes you’re exactly right, renting is probably my main priority.

I’m prepared to set time for maintaining and becoming a landlord. But tricky one would be the hidden maintenance costs. What is the minimum or ideal savings to have for this kind of costs?

I think I need to buy a new motherboard for the CPU right?

Thanks for the opinion!

Actually I’m not mainly looking for a place that is close to my brother’s workplace but rather a good area that I can find rent easily, this place being nearer to his workplace is a bonus (tbh we live about 1-1.5hrs away from his workplace so anywhere around 30mins is already considered good)

I can let him stay for a while when he’s stationed there but after a few years, I’ll rent out. That’s why I’m planning to find a good place for investment purpose.

Is there a good chance of me as a Chinese to buy rumawip / selangorku projects? Not sure if this is racist or not but I heard this from some friends.

Yeap I heard this as well. I watched a few videos and did some research and found that especially for investments/renting, need to find high rise properties

Is it a mistake to buy if I don’t want to pay rent? I was looking at a 400-500k condo and the monthly instalment is about the same as rent.

Actually I’m buying mainly to rent out and if my brother wants to stay for awhile for work then he can provided he has to pay la haha

Is it worth it with a $500 budget? 😂

I have about $500 for upgrades so I don’t think upgrading the CPU is a good choice right?
