from this moment...part 2

continuation....

Well, even though the BIG day is next year, there are so many things that has to be settled and decided as time is of essence.
This is the toughest among all other matters. HOUSE HUNTING. It's tougher than shopping for shoes! ha3. I have been browsing Malaysia Property & real Estate's website, it seems that landed houses are so damn expensive. Young & middle income earners like me can't afford to buy such property.

What ARE our main concerns?

1. Rent/buy
--> if rental is as much as installment, mights well we buy it. We have an asset, the property will appreciate over times, etc. I Google for our decision, and it seems that we made the right choice.

2. Location
--> we have found few (somewhere in the middle location)

3. What kind of property?
--> condo/apartment is our choice.

4. New or for sale?
--> It depends on the price. But nowadays developers are building houses for higher income group. A landed house in Shah Alam costing RM1m++ (built up 22 x 75, more or less), a cheaper range (below RM300k) landed house is somewhere in Rawang or Klang.
--> For condo/apartment, it's focus on the value of per sq.ft. I've found one 800+ sq.ft apartment costing RM110k. Is that expensive or cheap?
--> If buy a for sale property, fully or partly furnished contribute to the sale price. But for me, if I am to buy a property, at least partly furnished with kitchen cabinets would be sufficient.
