Iskandar is not for those pure investor, where you have no interest to stay that, just buy and hope to flip at VP. It is for those who liked the concept of wide open spaces and quiet neighbourhood and think that they deserved to have a peaceful and comfortable retirement at a place of their...

Hope that it will not be worst than holding a car in SG. Sgd120k and depreciating by the day till almost zero 10 years later, but at least you enjoy to drive to improve quality if life. So the critical question is, did you chose a unit you personally liked and enjoy staying in ?

Does anybody know if we need to pay any income tax for the rental income in Malaysia?

This article is for those who only want to hear the good things, especially on a weekend. http://www.nst.com.my/news/2016/05/144062/investment-haven-making

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/singapore-unlikely-tourist-hotspot-casinos-220003464.html This explains the 20 busloads of China tourists. Spillover effect.

SG currency super resiliant, still climbing against all major currencies despite the recent mas announcement. 2.92 now. Against Aud also going back towards 1.015.

I was at the 2nd link customs and trying to cross over, to my horror I saw 20 bus loads of Chinese tourists also at the queue. On a lazy weekday afternoon. But they were quite civilised though, contrary to image portrayed by the media. Well dressed, speaks with a nice accent, just a bit loud...

http://paultan.org/2016/03/01/toyota-c-hr-production-hr-v-rival-officially-unveiled/ Time to look out for a new car to match the completion of the condo/house. Only concern is this car is just too flashy on Malaysia roads.

I am not sure how true that Malaysians will avoid leasehold entirely. I heard the medini shophouses and landed are mainly Malaysian buyers as they think it's good location and relatively inexpensive compared to KL. Not sure what's the thoughts on those Malaysian buyers of leasehold landed in...

Anybody knows why that condo behind mydin at East ledang is still like so empty after its ready for more than 2 years? It's like totally empty with no furniture in any of the unit. Can see clearly from the road.

Puteri cove is going at rm1300 psf, of course they have to be a class of their own.

Freek thought you are a new observer probably because of this question. There's a coastal highway southern link being build now which will complete by 2nd quarter 2017. By then all traffic going to medini and PH from 2nd link can take this shortcut and save about 10km of travel 1 way. And most...

Yes. Totally. If you are going for a life style and can afford it, pls go ahead. Iskandar is just too much risk for investment. It has been a back water for who knows how many years, what makes you think that it can just take off like that? The fundamentals have not changed much actually. I...

You want traffic? Wait till 2nd quarter 2017, all traffic from 2nd link to medini and PH will pass through here. By then you will complain it's too noisy.

I hope all the property buyers had hedged enough RM when it was 3.1. it's a whopping 8.7 % difference!

This unit is facing the office block and direct west facing, you say got value or not? Never see any harbour facing unit on auction?

Much more than that, you need to hear it yourself. Without any window in between I mean. I cannot stand it even at level 28. Thanks for the advise, I will not buy a high floor and leave the windows closed.

When I choose my high floor unit, I flipped the masterplan of the whole area for 3 days 3 nights to make sure no main roads and no high building in front. I cannot stand a little noise and I will always leave my windows wide open. That's the own purpose of going high and paying premium...

You can go to skyloft in bukit indah and hear for yourself. One side of it faces the highway, it's a constant high level 'shhh...' sound. For some, it's a matter of getting used to. But not for me, cannot feel peace in your own home, that's how I feel.

Now you know why RM is strengthening.. http://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2016/04/11/china-starts-buying-malaysian-bonds/
