Re: Buying JB or Overseas Properties with MOP not yet expired

There are all kinds of people in this world, while i am still inclined to believe in the goodness of people. Let us not try them on the limits of what one can do in a fit of jealousy.

I have a relative who directly said to me on CNY day many years ago: Why do you appear to be doing so well after such a few years after NS? You must be doing some shady deals if you refuse to join me in business. I wish you will never be rich or able to migrate so that i can always see my sister. He wanted to involve me in some businesses (weird schemes) where i come up with all the money (all the funds from me 100%, but he gets 51% share) and he call all the shots, in the end when i never joined him, said all these to me.

Using a company is one way but the amount one can loan from the banks is then very low (much lower then personal loans) and some banks may not loan unless they see substantial amounts in the asset/bank statement of the company. Some banks will also need the loan to be taken out in the directors name or at least to
have them as the guarantor. This differs from bank to bank.

RE: fees etc for renting a house in Johor

For those currently renting, can anyone advise what are the fees in renting a house in Johor? It is currently listed with an agent. How much are agent fees, deposits, etc?

My last rental was years back up in Melaka and that was a direct lease from the landlord so the process was simple and transparent.

Many many thanks.

2 months rental deposit and between RM 1500 to 2000 for utilities deposit.
You may need to pay the stamp duty for the Tenancy Agreement.

What about agent fees? Was told by a friend that only landord pays agent. Is that the standard practice in Johor? He did mention the less honorable agents will attempt to ask the renter for commissions.

I apologize I am not familiar with the way things are done in Johor hence some many questions.

Regards.

My tenants did not pay the agent.

Don't see why they should pay but would defer to the rest of the learned forum members on this. They may have more experience on this.

Thanks for the clarification. At least I don't go into it too clueless.

Same agent should only collect from one party he/she represents.

If people = Singaporeans or Singapore PRs, then it must due to the fact that we are flats/apartments dwellers. Many also have the notion that condominiums are safer.

If people = not Singaporeans, then there is a fair mix of preference for landed properties.

1. Where is Wateredge residence? Personally, I prefer Bukit Indah and Puteri Harbour (if more amenities are available).
2. You can be stay in Malaysia for up to 30 days without the need for extension from the Immigration Department.
3. For example, CW3 brings you from Jurong East to Bukit Indah and CW6 from Boon Lay.

This is quite a good site for you to refer to if you are considering public transport to JB.
