Thank you. Do like, subscribe and share the video around to people who might need it

I appreciate that!

Agreed the property management team is important. Do check existing condition will help. Many condos to compare now in JB

correct ; no maintence n management n repairs to save money yet collect HOA fee..don't buy condo..instead landed property.

The solutions to fix water leaking is no different than Singapore. Redo waterproofing, retile the area. From downstairs sometimes inject a hardening liquid into the ceiling to fill minute cracks. Depends how big area affected and where

Yes understand that. But does condo management have the same power to enforce the repair work if the leak comes from the unit above? Especially if landlords are overseas investor and/or unit is vacant.

@ansonsng1898 interior is owner responsibility. Management only handle common area.

There are some landed options like near Bukit Chagar but the houses are non gated and very old actually. We are talking like 40 years old at least maybe more. So probably need alot of rework/ rebuilding if you want to get it to somewhat modern living standards. And they are so old that in some cases are abandoned and not necessarily have good road access. There is a reason why you can only see high rise being built in city center, because simply there is not enough land to build any new proper landed project. Unless you are ok to buy old house and rebuild/ major reno then you can look into it.

I think I have one listing that would fit the bill. PM me at 81261626 for details. But like I said, do note my comments below on old house, no gated guarded, and very likely require major reno.

Personally I prefer R&F Princess Cove if you looking at that. PM me 81261626 for unit details and reasons why.

Thank you

If resale yes. If you buy from developers, in some cases you can still buy below RM1million

@@AlphaMarketingSG What about Trellis residences or Aliff heights? Is it worth buying?

@Joanna Yoong right now my opinion is if high rise, buy as near as you can to the RTS to Singapore. If landed, nice good quality gated guarded in popular locations. Trellis and Aliff in my opinion too mass market and location so so only

@@joannayoong9370 if have budget, I recommend R&F Princess Cove, I did another video on it in KZfaq too

​@@AlphaMarketingSGbut developer right now facing financial crisis and law suit. Wanted to consider but high risk

They are both nice condos. If you buy for own stay, then it's your personal preference basically. But right now I like R&F Princess Cove as its walking distance to MRT to Singapore. I think that makes a big difference and will give you a good price bump when MRT ready in 2026. I have another video on this you can watch on my KZfaq channel

@@AlphaMarketingSG Might be, one also pays for the address too! The name "the Astaka" commands a premium. I just got the Astaka two months back, and now no more bigger unit from the developer. The Astaka has higher potential value, though I use it as my secondary residence, if eventually the project is in full swing, say with two hotel/serviced hotels, one office tower, and an entertainment arena. It is in the CBD. Look at something similar in Hong Kong, just right to the IFC2, the tallest office building, with the Four Seasons Hotel to provide residence. The enclave is seen as 6-stars complex. In all cases, proximity and accessibility to Singapore is my top priority, and this would be provided by the RTS. But, well this might take another 3 years to deliver, by then, I might decide whether to relocate to JB.

@@francokwok1667 Yes The Astaka is a nice building. Congratulations on your purchase.

Don't buy condo. Oversupply

Well ya. Easier to have security on high rise.

Ya EcoWorld properties are popular

For strata landed the common area within the community belongs to the owners and is maintained by the owners JMC.

Thank you for the reply. Is there any difference in getting an individual titled landed house vs a strata one?

well there are some differences, maybe contact me at 81261626 to fully explain@@eemingtoh972

There are 3 general locations I would look at, for the west it will be in Bukit Indah/ Eco Botanic/ Horizon Hills/ Puteri Harbour zones. Everything there is generally nice and would do well. Towards Skudai (North) I would look at Taman Sutera. Towards the east, anything in the vicinity of Austin Heights/ Eco series is nice. Which to choose is really then a matter of personal preference and again your objective of buying. So many other factors at play. If interested in specific listings, do PM me at 81261626.

As demand for landed property has been strong, alot of the newer landed townships in suburbs are pushing even further away from city center. Now the newer landed townships are going into locations like Gelang Patah, Pelangi Indah, Kulai, Masai/ Pasir Gudang, which are more than 45 mins away from town center. With abit of traffic probably an hour or more. Once these areas are filled up and travel time or prices become too much, then there will be a reversion to high rise nearer to town which are cheaper. This has happened in Klang Valley and Penang and any major city where urban sprawl happens.

@@AlphaMarketingSG What's the minimum entry px for a Singaporean to buy a landed in johor? Will mm2h help to reduce the minimum entry px?

@@frankauerbach for landed property in most cases you would need to adhere to a minimum purchase price of RM1mil and above. For condos, there are some scenarios where if you buy from developer, you can buy below RM1mil or if you buy in locations such as Medini. MM2H does not affect the minimum purchase price. Actually MM2H has no bearing on property buying. Do watch my other video on 5 Visas to live in Malaysia.
