Best JB condo

[andyhtc]

not willing to commit so much..only 100k sgd

S$100k is below the $1 mil RM threshold for foreigners.

Some condominiums allow $500k RM but these are quite few or in Medini leasehold condominiums.

Buying an overseas property is risky.

quite limited already. think put in FD better for now. 3.2%+ . 1 year 3200+ . monthly $266. top up abit can rent jb condos better. at least your capital untouched.

 

[Milodrink]

Correct lor.


Only the dumb dumb sinkie want save some money sell sg house shift to JB. Worst those praise JB condo make sinkies all go there buy ownself secretly buy sg condo.

Only some edmwers here want make other ppl appreciate with MYR.

Really classic example of high risk low return

Even the better to do Malaysian families know and rather buy SG woodlands condo then make good use of RTS. Appreciate with SGD.

Health and well-being is priceless.

Singapore still best country for family and financial safety and even the foreigners all know that.

Still prefer old mm2h policy. No nid to purchase property. Just rent. Get a cheap brand new car. Drive all over Msia. Can go further up Siam. Thats retiree life.

 

[yobyella]

When i drive in Msia, is so stress free. Cheap car. I feel so satki. Cheap petrol, cheap maintenance/servicing. Unlike in Spore. Expensive. So many stops. So many blind spot. Watch out for pmds, boomers, cyclists on roads. Very stressful.

SG condominium is quite prohibitively expensive already.

S$800-900k can only get a 1-bedder leasehold in SG. S$200-300k can get a 3-bedder freehold in JB near RTS or a g&g terrace further away.

For those in lower to middle income group, they are now in a grey zone if they aspire to own a private property.

Comparing only $ vs sqft is not wise

Country diff
Govt diff
Economy diff
Safety and environment diff
Exit plan also diff

some of us buy house is not for the gain in value, more for a lux place to stay

For me, JB food is not fantastic but strong SGD makes the food delicious.

JB properties are not that good, but the well linked and run MRT/RTS will make the properties near RTS very appealing.

RTS is quite a mistake by the SG government as it will send a lot of consumer spending and tenants $ into JB.

 

[yamato]

can recommend moi 2 bedroom,not too far ciq or 2nd link,price not more than 350k

This price quantum only malaysian can buy. Not for foreigner to buy as condo need at least 500k n above for foreigner purchase.

No doubt. But the price of condo @ rts is ridiculous. Bait for naive sinkies. Awas...

Not that I am promoting a JB condominium. I am trying to work out why the market has an asking price of about $800k+ RM for a 2-bedder generally.

From a landlord's perspective:

If a tenant is paying S$1k monthly rental for a HDB common bedroom, he might shift to a JB condominium near RTS for S$500 per room with an attached toilet. So a 2-bedder JB condominium can fetch S$1k rental per month or S$12k per year. This is equivalent to $40k RM per year using a roughly 3.4 exchange rate.

If the expected ROI is 20-25 years, that means that a 2-bedder condominium in JB now has a market value of $800k RM. One can test the above deduction on Princess Cove below and see why a 2-bedder is priced around $700k RM to $1 mil RM.

quite likely Bukit Chagar RTS would be cluster fug with grab drivers, taxi, buses etc~ Johor is studying building ART system to RTS~ i would suggest wait and see the location for the ART lines~

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/johor-art-multi-tiered-elevated-rail-rts-hsr-4291196

ART eventually still goes to RTS, not only you can't avoid the congestion it would be worse since you're further and arrive later than people staying around RTS

Stay within walkable distance to Bukit Chagar RTS is still the best

 

[pmetpmet]

Near to the rail track but walking distance wise, a bit far from the station itself..

Can park your bicycles or scooters on their link bridge. One of the best features of princess cove

Only takes a few minutes and it's much SAFER without all the traffic below

 

[pmetpmet]

Don’t buy condos in bolehland!
They know how to build but maintaining them is a big question mark.
It just takes a few SPs to be “chao kuan” and refuse to pay maintenance fees and the rest will follow suit. The end result will be slum condos

With this in mind, the safest bet should be princess cove since they are building phase 3, 4 & 5 in sequence. I'm pretty sure they won't allow phase 1 & 2 to be too run down else will scare away potential buyers of their new phases

On the other hand, if you go buy those single phase development, once it's fully sold you're on your own liao

Precisely this time is different and people who comment rent is better and prices are ridiculous don't see this. You're now required to buy a property from the developer if you want to stay in Malaysia. Prices of properties around RTS and in SEZ zones will appreciate. Resale prices will follow developer sale prices

Renting doesn't make sense since you're limited to <180 days cumulatively in Malaysia which means to say you will need to maintain another property in SG or elsewhere. If you have mm2h, you can rent out your whole house in SG and collect rental

Then yr rental in spore will be taxed at resident or non resident rate?
