Good video. I hope that the Malaysian government does a more concrete master plan on setting up an LRT/MRT network that links the Iskander region to the RTS station and then to SG. This is more important than HSR IMO. This will be a game changer if the government knows what to do.
There is a proposal by Johor state govt to federal govt on a LRT line within JB. Now have to see if they can get approval and funding for it. See my other RUclips video on the LRT line
Thank you for the video. I hope you can make a video to help us calculate all the costs involved (including hidden costs) for a landed property or condo sold by developer or from the sub-sale market.
If have time, will try to do. But this kind of thing I always think it's best to self visit. Property is not something where should 100% rely on 3rd party advice/ 1 time visits/ online. And JB is so near, go every weekend also can to understand the area well. That's why I don't invest in real estate I can't readily see/touch/feel the environment often. You will end up depend on 3rd party too much and lose control or ability to decide
Ive subscribed to your channel. Great intel. Are you able to do a video which area of jb u think the property will be more focus or prosper after RTS and when economix zone more mature. In terms of new projects and geographically growth in next 5-10 years.
I want to ask about the maintenance and state of the project. Because I am a regular viewer of your videos, I booked a stay at Danga Bay Country Garden last weekend to get the feel of the place. It is a nice place, and overall, I like it. However, as an Investor, I do see that the building's paintwork is not maintained, and the paint is peeling off. I cannot imagine the state of the project in another 5 years. What is your comment for potential investors like us?
Building repainting in Malaysia is 10 years once by law. For Country Garden they have to do it by 2026/2027. Some condos are better maintained that others. Have to go see. But collection rates for maintenance fees for mid-high end condos in JB is very high. Most of them have circa 90%-ish collection rate
Horizon Hills is an old time favorite. Can't really go wrong there. Upcoming is their neighborhood mall and some shoplots they are building near the clubhouse. But if you are considering Horizon Hills, then you can also consider all the other options above highlighted in my video and see which you prefer.
Project is already completed so there is no construction risk but the mall still owned by developer though. And Country Garden amongst various Chinese developers their situation is more serious. Have to see how their market adjusts there.
Lee Kuan Yew once said : Cannot invest in JB properties. Something like that. So much land in JB. Exchange losses. Politically unstable. How to invest?
Great video. Thanks for the information. I’m a foreigner looking to spend time in Malaysia 3 months a year. Does any property exist for RM500k or under for purchase?
I talk FX risk in some of my other videos but basically past 10 years, SGD has appreciated vs against all popular currencies Australia, Sterling, Yen, Baht. If invest overseas all lose FX, not just Malaysia. Then again you can have SGD500k cash in Singapore and you can't afford to buy a 2nd/3rd property due to ABSD and TDSR. In Malaysia, you can take a loan to hedge currency risk, most investors will pay the 4-4.5% interest pa to hedge over long run
Hi. Any advise where to source for Msia Visa if I buy residential in JB. I prefer not MM2H as 500k myr will stuck there in security deposit. Any alternative. Txs
Great video and I've been enjoying all of your videos. Please keep up the good work. Around 1.5 years ago, I was able to snatch a sub sale condo unit near RTS station (it was mentioned on this video) at RM6xx PSF and now, it's transacting around RM1xxx PSF. I get calls and messages from agents to sell my unit as there are buyers but I bought this unit for weekend home and retirement. No intent to sell at least until RTS is built. There's still a lot of criticism on Johor property investment and I can understand why. It's not as easy and straight forward like Singapore. Property investment is all about timing and location.
I saw some brand new R&F phase 1 listing in the property guru, is it true and still available? I text the agent and he told me to subsale from R&F sub contractor.
@@AlphaMarketingSG Hi Ryan, the agent told me is not subsale as now to deal directly with R & F developer as the R&F sub contractor just paid the RM$5k to offset his payment with the developer for supplying goods to R&F. The selling price is RM$50k cheaper from the purchase price but I have to pay full, did u heard of that before? Thanks ☺️
Hi Ryan. Can you pls. share your investment view for Prima Regency Service Apartment in Masai & Palazio Service Apartment in Tmn Mt Austin. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you
Hi, great video! I was wondering if you can comment on the developer, country view and their current development Aurora Sentral. Is the developer safe/good? What do you think of the location for Singaporean looking for own stay (retirement)
The developer Country View has a pretty strong and long track record in Johor. Nothing to fault them. And Aurora Sentral is in an area fairly popular with locals and Singaporeans already. The only thing is the project is yet to be completed, there is no final product to compare and there are a variety of resale options in the area which you should also visit to get a fair decision on whether Aurora Sentral is the one or not
Hi Ryan, does Johor have a lower threshold for foreigners if we buy it from the developer compared with the secondary market? Is the Johor threshold for foreign property purchase 1M still?.
Ya still can buy. Safe because Phase 2 completion is anytime now, so hardly any construction risk. In China, all developers are considered 'sick ', though R&F is not in the serious patients zone
Thank for input. Only scare developer bankrupt can’t get strata title hard to resell . Also whole project maybe incomplete such as phase 3 and 4 which makes it even harder to resell due to reputation issues
Phase 1 strata title was issued last year, but ya I understand the uncertainty that is brought about by China economy not strong now, we wont be sure how bad it can get. But Chinese government has stepped in. Right now what they do is they ask the Chinese state banks to be lenient to the developers@@Freedom2307
There are landed properties within walking distance to CIQ. Jalan Lekas, Jalan Bukit Timbalan, Jalan Merah Taman Pelangi, Serene Park, Stulang Laut and Jalan Indahputra. I mean walking distance. Not those far away like Mount Austin or Dato Onn. Bad traffic jams.
Singaporeans looking for second property face a hefty 20% ABSD therefore buying in JB is sensible. Those Properties with close proximity & connectivity to Singapore will command a huge premium. R&F Princess Cove satisfies these criteria. The ever weakening SGDMYR at 3.55 is a double edge short. On one hand it significantly cheapens your transaction cost yet it erodes your property value overtime. As long as the rate of property appreciation is faster than MYR depreciation you would be able to mitigate the fx risk. But for those who are looking to retire in JB, fx risk is not a major concern. I find Ryan’s view’s & analysis to be robust & logical. He is not saying that there are no risk at all.
Renting is a viable option. Buying wise, not a bad thing to take maximum loan granted by the Msian banks ie: 70/80/85% depending on buyer’s profile. As over the years as the myr depreciates against S$, your overall loan quantum also gets smaller. Interest 4% paid likely can be negated by the currency depreciation. Keep your S$ invested in SG for 3-7% returns better.
I have a terrace rental in the Taman Abad area near KSL, what do u think it will sell for ? You mentioned Mringit 1000 per sq ft, it means it can sell for 1.6M? Is that for real…its about 1561sq ft.
RM1000psf is for high rise near RTS. Taman Abad is not near RTS. For this type of old single storey terrace I think maybe RM500-600k intermediate unit? Double storey about RM800k onwards. I could be wrong
Ya at that price is fair but not sure bank will value so high or not. Bank valuation is abit behind right now. You also need to check govt valuation if you are buying as a foreigner to be sure govt valuation above rm1mil as well
Foreigners can buy 3 storey shop house. But it will mostly be resale. Very difficult for foreigner to get at launch. Foreigner quota very limited. Budget at least RM3mil plus expect high 3% to low 4% rental yield. Freehold many choices
ya definitely shophouse is lower supply. Don't say foreigner, even locals want to buy also not easy. But bigger capital outlay required vs most residential property. Have to play bigger@@yeewei78
If the price is so good, how come he himself haven't buy? And he predicted the price will reach 1.8kpsf. Cannot reach, go find this person to get your money back.
dont understand what you mean, actually Malaysia today my personal scenario is I cant borrow anymore from banks. I need to sell first if I want to buy. And you probably need to spend more time to research my profile before you say I "claim" only haha. I do have many properties in JB/ KL. Try search my old Business Times profile or on PropertyGuru speaker profile@@locktc
@locktc. Ya, be careful of this guy, he, a Malaysian is just trying to sell properties in JB. Everyone can say they have a lot of property in JB. Where is the proof? Anyway, the ringgit keeps on depreciating. Already 1 to 3.55. Soon 1 to 4.
@jer2911.L this guy is definitely a red flag. Just from the examples he shared using shenzhen and hk vs sg and malaysia. Does this guy dunnoe shenzhen and hk is under same govt? It's not apple to apple. Besides, he keep predicting the price of what it will be. Giving people the greed if they don't buy they will lose out. Yeah. Singaporeans r not stupid la.

It will differ depending on the transaction as developer package are usually different
Thanks for sharing, for those who can't tank the risk of buying property in JB, renting is always a viable option. Plenty of choices.
Yes, rent if you prefer to just rent
Bukit Chagar RTS station itself, will it become a mixed development with condos?
there is a proposal on that but nothing firm right now and a high price point expected about RM1,800psf
@AlphaMarketingSG remember people, if it doesn't reach 1.8k psf go find this person and ask back your money.

can be more specific? Like this question, very difficult to answer
