Re: Investing in Nusajaya

Haha, then Bro Wuqi and many more would be more qualified. Maybe can start a seminar on "Living in JB". . Actually whatever they need to learn can all be found in this forum right.

As for investing in Iskandar, now it seems easy to invest in Iskandar Malaysia because everywhere seems good as long as you have money. The real challenge comes when we go into recession, then the pros will be differentiated from the novices.

If you strike SGD 2 mil from TOTO, which developments and what type of housing will you invest in Iskandar Region?

I am old already at 34. Passing the baton to the next generation, you have way more potential than me. My family and friends belonged to the die hard naysayers variety, much more myopic than some and twice as stubborn. Somehow, they are here now though. If i can do it, so can you.

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

Alright in the event someone accused of me being a "salesman" from East Ledang, I have some bad points to share here on EAST LEDANG. I have actually typed out some earlier in the threads but I will re-type again as apparently some people choose to selectively read my postings.

East Ledang dont have the great views of HH. You cant really see kids or many people walking around as yet because its more "quiet" than HH. The population is surely as in the league of HH, which is a full fledge taman. Eating is a big problem and that explains why my family do not want to live in East Ledang. One need to drive to Gelang Patah ( ulu-town ) for makan whereby in HH, you just need to drive out along Bukit Indah and shops are around the corner.

That explains why I am not intending to stay in East Ledang at all. However, its damn near to Singapore. I got one neighbour working in Tuas and he claimed its a 30 minute drive from East Ledang doorstep to his factory in Tuas ( much better than before because he used to live in Bedok ).

Ok, maybe i missed some of yours as well just as you missed some of mine. Peace.

Acutally as long as u stay in bukit indah, layang, perling, nusa idaman area, u drive out from ur house @ about 8am, u will reach tuas working area before 8.45am, this is my experience of driving car into Singapore and work. If u r going to take bus like me, i took 7am bus at the road side of bukit indah (not the bus station), i will reach boonlay jurong point between 8.10am to 8.20am. So it is actually very convenient. For ppl who stay EL the place is still very quiet now nt much shops there yet unlike nusa duta, bestari heights, bukit indah, nusa idaman and horizon hills

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

hi,

does anyone know Frank Utermol' (or better, his maids,..) - who built a biggg bungalow (onttop of the hill, after the Bale clubhouse) , that he named, "Casa Norma" in LF ? His house is so impressive that CNA even featured a 30minute slot on national tv,...?

His direct neighbour built a bungalow - however it seemed abandoned, and neighbour opposite the road built a grand green/blue-glass-facade, which - in diplomatic language - really highlight's one's individual tastes.

Ask the Owner, and mostly One will get answers mainly praising the Owner's decisions,....
Ask the lower-ranked staff, and One will get practical answers on trying to manage pests,..the isolation,....secutity,..etc.,..

Earlier paved, smooth roads have become roads with uneven, secondary pavings,..

I was told (to be re-confirmed, verified, however) that even in LF, there was some house-breakings, but for sake of maintaining "marketing image", many incidents were covered up.

It really is difficult to distinguish what is "real", "true", until one really takes that indivual plunge to experience.


And more importantly, would those who live in LF, be able to obtain the accounts of the LF's estate management funds - and as a public service - post this information here ?

The bigger challenge, long term, really is the keeping the place in good maintenance.

One suspects that LF's managing funds - is dwindling,....

Am I right ? Apologies, if I am wrong, and please correct my mistakes posted above.

All to share information, and to Learn, Thanks

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

A cleaning company actually tried to get the license to operate in HH , the last I heard was still pending but I did not follow up, maybe can check Maint office. I got external cleaning for just RM80 before renting and 3 persons turned up to clean; that is about 3-4 hrs work !

Bro Aangsc,
If you dont mind can you pm me the cleaning contractor's no. I asked the HH office once of their number but there was no response from them not sure why. It will be a big help for my wife and me to clean up the house maybe on a weekly basis.

Cheers

Nowadays developers still hire Nepalese...but they are the younger ones in their 20s..worlds apart from their police trained cousins of early days.

Somehow i prefer Nepalese to the local guards..my intuition tells me they are more down to earth..

cheers.

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

House-breakings? Goodness me! must have been a sound sleeper by night for the past 2 years. By day there must be a lack of gossip mongers. A plus for serene living but I suppose, keeps me in the ignorance. May be here a secret act is secretly enforced and so nobody talks. Well, ignorance does brings peace of mind.

Re: Investing in Nusajaya

I will set aside a portion to buy undervalued freehold residential land in Iskandar Region.

The remaining amount can be put into HH, EL, Leisure Farm, Nusa Duta, Nusa Idaman and possibly some into commercial lots.

I will also consider KL and SG market.

I will put 20% down payment for 5 million worth of properties, then take the remaining 1 million to genting and huat. Then repeat procedure.

But of course bank won't be stupid to loan me 80%.

Hi Sanur,
Did you take any loan for your bungalow in LF or paid in full?
