Wow! Spot on mate. Thanks for telling the truth and nothing but the truth. I want add on a few things that Singaporeans may not know about condos in malaysia:- 1. Maintenance of condo is appalling. Any condo over 5 years old have various maintenance issue like frequently spoilt lifts, damage / dirty swimming pool and common areas. Why? Coz most owners don't pay for maintenance 2. Security. If you think your condo is safe because you have a guard, you are dead wrong. Breakin happens and guess who conspired with the thieves? 3. Land size. The land area in johor is big and as a result there will always be newer and newer condos with state of the art facilities (for a price, of course) making your unit untenable after 5 years, which looks old, full of maintenance problems and dated. Hard to sell, hard to rent out. Check mate. Look at Danga Bay condos. Its dead. 4. Depreciating ringgit. MYR is expected to depreciate against SGD in the long term. So don't be surprised if 1SGD= 4 MYR. That would wipe out any capital appreciation and you still need to pay a 10% RPGT. All in all you will be considered very very lucky to just break even nevermind gains Bottom line, rent if you want to live in JB. After 2-3 years move to newer condos
That also applies to water theme parks. That's why my Malaysian friends only go to those that are less than 5 years old. Anything older. They say no thank you.
Glad it was helpful! u can watch my other videos on malaysia too. ruclips.net/video/IJGydP7iNhE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/7samJP4wVbo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/E_BgQKmhCx4/видео.html
Yeah rent and stay one month before buy, malaysia is not so transport and pedestrian friendly like singapore. No car is = no leg. With the money u loan to buy the house, might as well just rent landed long term. 2k myr monthly can get whole house, dont get trapped by the mindset of ownership or freehold, we are here just for less than 100 yrs
Why buy, stay in 5 stars hotel better, no need to maintain and no worry of thief and robbery. I dont require so much space once i retire,utilisation vs cost of psf is not worthy. I like your video. Good to share your knowledge
Thank u. Yes. I always stay in their resort at the east coast or some ulu location. Affordable and can experience their lifestyle. This is something SG cannot offer.
Sometimes things get so hopeless there, I start to wonder if they has a secret mission for their assets that the world is unaware of : to achieve zero value and beyond
👍 Excellent analysis & presentation. Have experienced there from 1995 to 2002 in a bunglow. Presenter tells the truth. SG beware of this and influenced by emotions. Jump @ your own perils.
Foreigners are facing double risk investing in property in Malaysia. They are depreciation in property value and currency over time......Have to think 3x, 4x, 5x,........ before buying.
Alan, Malaysia Ringgit Weakness and the Past Property prices drop means for the new investors or buyers in Malaysia buying property have lesser RISK and more probability from Capital Appreciation. This is the opposite contrast from Singapore Property where prices have been only in 1 way UP UP UP. You can argue with me saying cannot drop one lar. Singapore property solid solid like Golden Egg. But when Ringgit start to strengthen and the roller coaster ride from bottom start to slowly move up. You know what I mean. Anyway investing in property is about Timing. Do your own due diligence.
If one die die want to buy Malaysian property i suggest buying landed Gated & Guarded property in KL/Selangor. > RM1m is common and 1) target catchment area is much larger as there are more people in KL/Selangor making it better in terms of capital appreciation and easier to offload 2) Demand for these >rm1m landed is more forth coming from locals in KL/Selangor as the wages in those states are generally higher 3) More Malaysian chinese in those states which have more disposable incomes and better paying jobs to buy those properties. No disrespect to the malay and indian communities in Malaysia but statistically their income and disposable incomes are much lower.
RPGT is only assessable on the capital gains, if any, not on the property/selling price as mentioned in the video It is not similar to SSD in this regard
Well… do agree with you on condos > 1m Myr. I have not seen any sizeable number of transactions above purchase price in the past 15 years and I don’t expect to see any. Johor is a dud from a RE investment perspective. It can only be viewed as a “retirement” purchase where one is comfortable with gradual capital loss and significant currency loss (viewing an acquisition from a sgd or usd angle).
What make u think retire in Malaysia is great if u can’t do that in sg..that means is borderline case..why compromise last 2 decades or 20xmas in a foreign environment? What u living for to have that mindset?
humm...i suggust u pay a visit to KL and live in such properties to get a feel first....some say the fried kway keow taste better in KL. you have to eat it to know it!
Malaysia foods are more delicious and tastier because the Malaysia foods are heavier and stronger in taste, more salt and more sugar. Once you tasted foods of a heavier and strong taste, like drugs, more and more drugs, all the way, no turning back. Thus, Singapore foods will not taste better than the Malaysia foods because Singapore foods are lighter in tastes, less salt and less sugar.
Interesting analysis with data. Am wondering if there is any Singaporean who has made decent money in the Malaysian property market and is willing to share his experience? I mean people should be more willing to share if his story puts him in a good light. Of course, SIngaporeans who lost money can share too.
Can foreigner buy individual title landed in Malaysia Penang? Whats the minimum purchase price for Landed housing for foreigners for non mm2h and also for mm2h in Penang now??
Very good informative video… think several times before u buy a property in Malaysia unless u have relations who can stay. Never buy condo or service apartment as u will never able to sell. Most Malaysians prefer landed property. I used to own a service apartment and sold it at a loss - still ok- people steal things by entering the rubbish chute. Letters get posted to wrong letter box…Better invest in Singapore
@@Carolinapetroska each county has it plus n minus. Depending on your preference. If u are a foreigner n looking at retirement n love adventures. Malaysia has vast places for u to explore.
No lah. Govt wouldn't restrict SC buying. Those who have extra can buy wherever u want in the world. Hdb studio flats are govt ininiative for seniors to monetize their homes.
Simple observations but seldom said... all the "gurus" only like to say the good stuff. Many prejudiced comments from Singaporean who are too used to their comfort. How many of them have really lived long term in Malaysia or overseas?
Talking about the Rich, are Fines equally deterrent to the Poor vs the Rich for same type of fine? Let's say traffic fine is $300. To the poor, it's devastating. To the rich, it's sup sup water. So, what is the deterrence in terms of traffic fines being the same for the rich and the poor? Many other situations fall into the same category of issues. Eg. COE. What is the effect of COE on the non-rich vs the Rich who have the same necessity for a family car? Can one rich man alone buy two cars and two COE contributing to higher demand for COE? Any comments?
Never, never buy property in johor. Nobody ever make money from property there. If you are really lucky, you can only sell 50% from your purchase price. First of all, most developers want to cheat you. And no guarantee that you will get your strata title. Tiara Desaru is just one example. Eventually, you becomes a cash cow for the developers and the Malaysian government. BELIEVE ME.
True. I heard case. Can't even get the title after many years... seriously why? But yet history repeat itself...what to do. We can only say so much. Thank for sharing.
That why I think safety always play a big part in property value. Look at our GCB. Up up n up. Even those fellows love to rent GCB even if they can't buy. Plus FH...not 99.

U are spot on which is why despite working in MY for 12 yrs, i refuse to get 1.. if i get a 1mil condo 5 yr ago.. i would lose my now
You are so right!
Security is the most important!
Very gd truthful analysis. We are lucky to have analyst like u!
Thank u. Anyway. I am not a analyst. I am only a property agent.
Thank you for your detailed analysis! It really made me double think triple think.

You're so down on earth, providing such valuable advice without putting your Singaporean hat on. I wish you huat as well!
Thank u. Just sharing something that I have been observing with my years going inside...afterall I very "local". I see from a local 👁️.
Short stay to understand the lifestyle before committing.
Yeah rent and stay one month before buy, malaysia is not so transport and pedestrian friendly like singapore. No car is = no leg.

Rental is cheap. Can move around every year.
Why buy, stay in 5 stars hotel better, no need to maintain and no worry of thief and robbery. I dont require so much space once i retire,utilisation vs cost of psf is not worthy. I like your video. Good to share your knowledge

Msia this country, their asset will always depreciate.
Sometimes things get so hopeless there, I start to wonder if they has a secret mission for their assets that the world is unaware of : to achieve zero value and beyond
You might want to do a video on RnF Princess Cove, this project selling like hot cakes, 4oo+sqft selling for more than 700k ringgit liao
Happy they bought a home near the RTS. Rental demand will be strong ahead.
@@alanweeproperty I feel that waterfront danga bay is a better buy for the price

Property prices in jb have gone up across the board. So all these videos only speculate.
Same as Singapore. Enjoy watching them anyway.

RPGT is only assessable on the capital gains, if any, not on the property/selling price as mentioned in the video

Yes. RGPT is capital gain tax on profit. But based on past transactions. Very Hard to tax.
Well… do agree with you on condos > 1m Myr. I have not seen any sizeable number of transactions above purchase price in the past 15 years and I don’t expect to see any. Johor is a dud from a RE investment perspective.

Malaysian still can buy. Still make sense. Same as our absd at 60% for foreigners..
Hi Alan, how to reach out to you .. very helpful and precise information
My contact is below the description
Renting a house long-term in Johor is another solution to retire there.

Hey Alan, would really want to know your take on KLCC properties as I have been seeing a lot of ads targeting Singaporeans on social media.

Why do you think Singapore is better ? I am a foreigner and don't know the real estate market in Malaysia. Can you elaborate ? Thanks

First, you must know you are rich or not, we are still want discount from NTUC fair prize. Because of RTM, must we buy property in JB?
It's a matter of time. Eggs, sugar and other essentials will not be allowed. Now v good friend. U know. Good friend also can be bad friend...
Wa. U are not only gd in spore Pty. U r gd in Malaysia Pty too. 👏
Simple theory applies. Boil down to data plus observation.
Pls come rent Singapork
So as a foreigner, it will be very hard to resell your condo after watching your statistics , correcty ?
Yes. Becos of the RM1M sub-sales requirements
Singapore govt will release more land plot n cpf retirement payments delay for elderly .So minority citizen will not purchased jb property .
No lah. Govt wouldn't restrict SC buying. Those who have extra can buy wherever u want in the world. Hdb studio flats are govt ininiative for seniors to monetize their homes.

aiyah, marry a malaysian and you do not have all these restrictions.
Yeh. U make sense. 1 SC can buy landed here. Spouse PR can buy landed as local too. Best of 2 worlds!
ow about Singapore woman marry Malaysia guy but never buy any property in Singapore
Got money can buy..
Interesting except if you could improve the spoken English.
I strike to improve over time.

No way I will not be buying cos Malaysia is not safe and no security at all 😮
