Yup. Understand your point. Valid.

It's good to be highlighting it consistently so that the Govt is aware that besides attracting foreign investment, it comes with a cost and that needs to be addressed and quick.

Else it would end up like KL. Everywhere jam.

In most of his posts, the forumer has also either omitted to mention the Pandan Bridge upgrade due to complete by yr end, or has opined that the upgrade will not solve anything.

Actually I have travelled from EDL Pandan exit to cross Pandan Bridge in betw 5-10 mins most of the time at 6 - 630 pm (accidents being an exception). After having stuck in causeway for ard 1 hr, i really dont see what's the fuss abt. It is also because of EDL that Permas has come alive again, and encouraged lim kang hoo to develop tebrau coast.

Which one is the Pandan bridge? It's different from the Permas Jaya bridge right?

EDL has two interchange. One is bakar batu i/c --> "permas bridge" towards senibong )basically link to east coast highway)
second one is pandan i/c --> exit pasar borong pandan, heading towards kota tinggi (basically link to tebrau highway)

I would think that the Permas bridge would need more work since I would think that the traffic there would be increasing exponentially with all the developments further East.

Hi : Welcome to Desa Tebrau. My unit is on the right side of the front gate. True, I have noticed that they have stopped work , the tarmac works were half done. I called the sale rep, she told me the VP is in dec. When I signed the S and P , the sale rep told me handover will be in May/Jun this year. My bank provider has been charging me interests since Sep last year on the amount dispensed to developer. They wouldn't even allow me to start paying instalment or do lump sum repayment till VP is done.

 

[FHBH12]

Work had not stopped completely. I saw e workers in e units fixing defects.

The left rows were completed early this year but the owners also could not get keys until May/Jun this year.

I have been paying instalment since day 1.

fhbh, just curious, how much is the %interest per month bank is charging you now? overall how much have you paid in interest? about 4% purchase price?

Prob 4.2-4.3%. Monthly is abt $2.8k RM upon VP. Now paying abt $9xx RM per month installment.

Overall, I think self stay in JB is ok lah, while renting out SG properties. Flipping will depend on price point at which one enters. But unless its semi-d & above, or one buys in bulk, you cant get great profits from flipping. Maybe at most around RM 200K each for terraces?

Renting out JB on long term basis is not so profitable as compared to SG....... So to conclude for me, the best option is to self stay while renting out SG properties.

 

[FHBH12]

Yup. Flipping is not so profitable.

Dun depend on ppl/relatives/closed ones to give u a shelter, just buy one for buffering.

If only they allow Sgreans to use their cpf $ to buy house in JB (though highly unlikely), like using medisave in some hospitals there. Will really help many assets rich but cash poor retirees, as right now, $ has to go back to cpf after they sell their only property in SG.

Even if they rent out their HDB, how much upfront cash does one needs to fork out for downpayments, whatever fees, basic renovations ...etc for a million RM terrace? And one also needs a car to move around when living there.

alrighty, thanks! that's roughly the number i'm getting from my spreadsheet as well, based on progress payment % and monthly rests. actual could be lower though (since te initial payments are much lower). is your house late in handing over? plenitude intending to pay you?

you're right. but commuting is a big no no for me. JB is weekend and holiday only, for some kampung living. as potter say, it's a "buffer".
btw don't think those who bot recently can even earn that much for a terrace. but you never know.
