So if the owner paid cash, renting out at rm1100 will get roughly 4 - 4.4% return?

Got picture to show? I like to know how it looks like.

You are saying that after 20 years, a 1000% appreciation of the face value, even after adjusting for inflation and interest, is a bad deal? I rest my case.

Property investment is for long term, the believe of a vision. If you don't see that vision in 10 to 20 years, better to stay away. No doubt the vacant land has a chance to remain as vacant for the next 20 years. If 20 years ago you go to Melbourne and tell the people the house within 10 km...

Wonder why encorp wants to go slow on the project since its 100% sold? Don't they want to chop chop finish and collect the money?

Forest city has launched the landed properties, anyone got details of the pricing? Interesting to see how this place will turn out, I believe it will likely be a astounding success or an epic failure. Really has the salute those Chinese developer, always with a big bang.

It is presicely the slow pace of things that attracted me. I hope the fear of oversupply will prevent new projects from launching in the next 5 years. If you guys been to california and Melbourne suburb, you will know what I mean. Things move slowly, shops are not always open, only weekends...
