RTS will be a positive news as well as the development of Woodlands Northern Business Corridor near Republic Poly..
Rental yield will pick up when Office Tower is up and 5-star Hotel is up..
R&F commercial scene will be up too when all these grade A offices are occupied and staffed by MNCs, banks, law firms etc..
Even if all these failed to come to fruition, I can rent it out to freelancers prostituting themselves in bluewave..
HAHAHA...
Since entire coastline is build up and managed by R&F, there will be a consistency in design and planning..
Freehold project, so I am not concern about it much..
If I do get retrenched in SG when I near 40s, I can rent out my HDB in Punggol and shift to R&F..
The rent should be able to allow my family to survive in JB..
Groceries can be bought in JBCC KOMTAR... (New supermarket opened... go check it out)
Be it investment, exit strategy, weekend home...
All comes down to whether you can afford this property at this price at current interest rate of 4.5% (possibly going to 5 ~ 6%) etc..
I gotten 80% loan for 25 yrs tenure but I hope to clear the loan approximately 2018 when it TOP..
And I think I can pull it off hopefully...
I do not like debts... and that is just me...
In my personal opinion, R&F is expensive but it is FREEHOLD and psf wise is cheaper than Susana now as well as all the condos near CIQ..
Many people says to buy from reputable Malaysian Developers and avoid China Developers...
Well, even HDB in SG is being built by China Developers now and their expertise and technology in property development is already well ahead than most worldwide..
Go see youtube videos .. U can see them there...
In fact, I place more trust in China Developers than Malaysian ones because of all the horror stories of Malaysian Developers in the past era..
I can go on and on.. but I guess I shall stop here..
See how it goes and hope RTS news is confirmed soon..
