    Right, I noted the part on the hassle to manage the property too. Did some checks and found out that you can actually pay people to do all that. In oz, that's about 8% of the rental, they will arrange viewing, short list the tenants, do some minor works, etc. you just need to sign off and...

    I have a similar approach, just that I buy in Johor instead. Eventually when I retire in a few years, I will have 5 taps to draw from, 3 rental properties, cpf and cash. The taps should provide about sgd 6k per months perpetually, so my wife and me can live anywhere in the world we fancy and...

    Take a broader perspective about your backup plan. It's not just about the houses and loans. I would suggest buy enough personal insurance since you are the sole bread winner and rides a bike, you know what I mean. I got a bike too but for leisure, so I know we live on the edge every time we go...

    Malaysia - Gen/Info/Emergency Numbers.

    Unrenovated is just the clinic interior design, equipment is modern. It's like those old time neighbourhood clinic with no aircon at the waiting area. Like back to 1980s. Providing budget dental services to the people, do the job without too much of human touch as the next patient is waiting...

    If cost and return of investment is an issue, they should just do an upgrade of the existing railway track. And make the frequency every 20mins. I think a lot of people will be contented with this already. Forget about ambitious project like underground or bash through princess cove.

    I know the tenant, not the owner. Anyway I hope investment is that simple. Probably the owner is one of those who sees the future of johor to surpass KL, and thinks it's just a small sum, the amount invested in that freehold apartment could barely let him upkeep a family car in sg for ten years...

    Not sure how much the owner paid for it. Assuming he paid 350k rm full cash and now renting out at rm 1100. Thats 3.77% before tax and other arising expenses. Not too bad for both owner and tenant, both side got a decent deal. If this owner pay tax dutifully then the yield drop to 2++%. Btw...

    Very ambitious, good to plan for the future. Johor never has shortage of water, the question is how to trap those water given by heaven and use them over the whole year. Forest city has their own water supply, that's news. What kind of gundu developer built own road, build own land, find own...
