ASKING SEAN  

at first i was thinking to just rent a condo in bangsar area, and then landlord keep increasing rental every year. then pindah. next landlord also same increasing rental. increase a bit okay la but its not, its like rm2k jump to rm2.5k 🥴. maybe they take advantages thinking we earn a lot. 3 times pindah every 2years. penat laaa. moving cost lg. i dont get the idea renting is better than owning a property. maybe I'm not lucky enough? now i just bought a condo in montkiara. no more headache.

Dude I got racun-ed to your channel. Started watching 1 vid and ended up binge watching a ton of your old vids. Dafug! 🤣 On a serious note, am learning alot. Keep it up!

The worst thing in owning strata properties in Malaysia as of year 2024 is poor enforcement of law when condo maintenance funds are stolen by management staff or committee members. Strata property CBT is ignored by Malaysia government. Just interview the top 4 forensic audit firms in Malaysia and they will tell you that many embezzlers get away with theft because the PDRM, commissioner of buildings, and LPPEH don't punish the thieves and related wrong-doers i.e. property management agencies without fraud coverage insurance, negligent accounting firms, etc etc, and many condo funds embezzlers actually get off scot free.

Wow, Sean Tan, thank you a ton for sharing your amazing perspectives with us! Your words really got me thinking and inspired me to take on challenges with a fresh mindset. In times of uncertainty, your insights have been like a reassuring guide. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to share your thoughts - it means a lot to me!

If you can’t live without city centre lifestyle, condo. If you can, gated and guarded landed slightly outside of the city centre. If you don’t mind travelling, a fancier landed house outside of KL. No matter what it is, the value will still appreciate.

If you notice..most upper level of the shop lot has been converted or rather used as dormitory or accomodation for foreign workers..any comment??

Fantastic sharing Sean! What you shared really opened my eyes and I never thought about it in that perspective before. 20 to 25 years ago vs today is completely different .

I like your way of explaining and your english is good to me. Easy and clear to pick up.

Very insightful and comprehensive talk, I like the way you look at different type of property from different angle.

There is no room for discussion about renting and owning a house because the Malaysia govt is persuading us to buy a house with so many benefits, most new projects you can purchase with 0% downpayment, and Malaysia houses still cheap if comparing with another country like Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Great sharing! Never expect this much of information and opinion from you by just listening the first few minutes which is the question haha. Good to hear that the insights about ceiling price and demand of the individual landed property in the future. Thank you Sean!

Pls do a video on Batu Kawan (Penang) setting; Strata landed (Aspen / Eco) vs Condo.

thank you for your insight, very true. Why would i buy 3m old home when can buy shares/etc

So the guard post actually has no right to stop cars enterting those old taman with individual titles right? We dont even need to present our lesen or ic as well, technically, who are they to ask us to present it since those are public roads.

Thanks Sean gor, J Satine owner here ! After VP want to visit ?

Hi, look for your video, just great, im a buyer from China, my question is, if I buy a subsale house, and I want to renovate it, who can I ask for help to do the job, as a foreigner, I just have no idea. thanks a lot!

There was this super rich guy who got his money via this strategy. He would go to a town and buy up 15-30 miles of land at the ends of the main road. That's it.

Condo rentals incl maintenence fees which older houses dont need to pay. Assessment fees etc all higher for condos. So ofcos rental is higher to cover these cost.

Ones tells if you afforded split into two. Get one landed and condo. Then you may enjoy the living way you like.

Just wondering how many rolex watch you have??

just remember, when you buy a subsale landed, especially those aged (more than 10 years), everything will need to come with cash. condo is somehow, ready to stay, at the minimum least

Hi Bro. May you share with us your view (investment point of view) for Jernih Residence by Sunway at Kajang

Quality sharing this. Thank you Sean!

Example given Back then 300k (Assume 20 years back) now 800k for terrace house. That is 2.5x. If my memory recalls correctly 40 years Subang landed was 20k back then and now probably 800k. That is whopping 40x. Apartment has no record for 40 years back and you would argue too specific example if I quote any. Just for a reference some raw land near setia eco was 20 yers ago RM200k per acre, now probably RM2mil ++. If i stretch 40-50 years, those land like RM5k per acre. There is no arguement on the basic fact here that land is superior than landed homes and the last apartment(no land own at all). While you can argue rental ROI etc, yes it is because landed are very highly priced in good location so yield will be much more subpar. Those statistics on appreciation is too averaged out in location and data is probably taken back to less than 20 years from today. My take is landed homes vs apartments is hard to compared apple to apple from ROI. You haven’t got good data on 50year old condo to compare to 50 year old terrace. So whether to buy landed or or aprtment should always boil down to location, price . Both can have good and bad ROI and shouldn’t be generalized.

Why is it in Penang the property agents asks 1% of their agent fee + 6/8% of SST from the buyer? I thought the seller is the one who hires agents to sell their property. Any info on this?

Thanks for the video Sean !

Buy a property in Ipoh instead. There so much of landed property for sale at great prices

Hmmm.. the locations you mentioned ss2. If you owned few of them fully and now they value a lot, would you still keep it for another 10-20 years assuming that you said it's hard to sell it off even now? Tq

Awesome insights as usual. Like you mentioned before creating generational wealth helps these younger generations when affordabbility at stake. Also noticed developer smart at their pricing strategy based on current economy. Better to own than rent this some projects priced within grasps. In a decade plus, MY towards ageing society plus annual births declining so retirement home or township will be popular? 😅 Only time will tell.

Is there any worry (concern) for staying at a condo overlooking a shopping mall (building complex) roof? Shopping mall is just infront of my future condominium. It is 5 floors/levels lower than my condo unit. Would the heat from such building roof and aircond chiller create heat that may rise up and flow into my condo? Where would normally their airond chiller installed? at the roof top?

Most Singaporeans or Hong Kong would LOVE to own a Landed House!

Landed is always better. Stay on the ground (Solid)
