    With the current trends of declining population and depressing news, is there still a future for real estate investment?
    What an episode of high level economics!! In my opinion, I'm proving via actions that real estate is still a primary asset class to hold especially in Malaysia. Our country is just so beautiful and attractive so many expats are figuring out how to get in.
    For investment, definitely I'm investing in CBD areas where the temporary demand for space is high. Then I'm figuring out whether to enjoy myself within the suburbs area as I don't have be in the city at all.

    1. Qiu Wen has just released her house tour videos (4 episodes of renovation + 4 episodes of tour + 2 episodes of QnA). Very beautiful bungalow. Lots of renovation done. Would love to see you do a reaction video. Are the location and renovation value for money? You always say, don’t buy your first home as your dream home. But Qiu Wen seems to be doing precisely what you say not to. After seeing her success, would you still stick to that advice? Also, any advice on not getting conned or overcharged by contractors?
    2. Hope you could do a comparison of the different townships in KL: Mont Kiara, Bangsar South, Mid Valley, PJ, Subang Jaya, Bukit Jalil, Ampang Jaya. What are the pros and cons of each? Maybe you could do a Sean’s take 3 on 3 for each.
    3. Hope to see your comparison of different cities in Malaysia too: KL, Klang, JB, Penang, Ipoh, Seremban (pros and cons or take 3 on 3). Can also compare the cost of living, daily convenience, food, people, lifestyle, etc in each city. Which city would you retire in?

      Hi Alan:
      1. Well it depends what is success to you? Definitely she's rich and lots of sponsor, hence the amount of episodes. *the renovation industry is very small so I've heard of stories too of how they demand for things. Anyway, definitely it's a dream life to have for some. Not for me, I rather rent where I live, then invest in 20 properties that generate me cashflow every month.
      If money is not an issue for you, then go ahead and buy a mansion!! But for normal Malaysians like me, starting out with nothing. This is gonna be how I change the density of my family for generations to come.
      2 & 3. Let me see what I can do.

    Your video discussed about houses for core family only, i.e. parents and a kid. Now with the old age nursing homes are charging exorbitant prices, the trend of house demand may include bigger houses with more bedrooms to cater for grandparents as well. Thus, a house comes with at least 5 bedrooms are more desired in future, preferably 6 bedrooms. There's how the 6 bedrooms are used: 1 bedroom each for grandfather, grandmother, middle aged couples, one kid, a domestic helper and a guest room. FYI, older couples are tend to live separately due to differences in their living habits.

    I feel like the answer to this type of question is always depend on who the person is. I myself do know people who own 20 or even 40 properties, and still adding more to their collection. But of course their wealth and portfolio grant them lower entry prices and even lower financial costs, and they are not going to bothered if the tenants are leaving next month. On the other hand, people like me, who would need to work hard so that the mortgage installments are still "possible", which add conditions to the game like there need to be tenants, increasing rental yield etc. A total different game.
    With increasing wealth gap, more foreigners coming in, more dev factoring in future prices like crazy, I see real estate non sustaining at least for middle income and below. Be it high rise or landed projects, I have seen many 700k to 1mil projects selling out quick. But is our economics that good, and people are with that high salary? If yes, why do we have so many subs ale units left. The answer is most likely people can't fork out 20% cash for down-payment etc, but for devs and banks, these buyers can totally afford a 110% or even 120% when it comes to new launches. I see bubbles.

      @@jessgan2055 yes and no. Like in general, nowadays most banks would approve the loan if the installment is within 40%-60% of the net income (or some used disposable income).
      For example, John's take home pay is 8k, and his ccris has no other loans except credit cards etc. So banks are most likely to approve if he borrows 1mil, for 35 years at about 4% (around 4.5k) a month.
      On paper, it makes sense where John could still have 3.5k for his living expenses etc. But if John is taking care of his parents, or starting his own family (which are the hidden commitments from the Ccris system), John could be just barely surviving with his income and vulnerable if he lose his job.
      I have a few junior colleagues, with gross about 6-8k, first got their Honda/Mazda approved, and a few months later, their first home purchase (around 650-750k ish) approved. When the full mortgage installment start kicks in a year or so, their loan commitments could go to 5-6k a month. It's a common scene nowadays. But I'm concerned nonetheless.

      I heard prop bubbles since 20 years back...housing is pretty stable as long as banks give loans only to those qualified...sure, there will be people losing jobs, unable to pay. But these are just natural economic cycle.. Except when there is war, natural disasters, etc. As for middle class, they are going extinct. In the near future, you can never afford buy properties unless you are somebody, C-suite executives, millionaire businessman or have inheritance money. For this, Singapore HDB model can be implemented so that not so rich people can have a roof above their heads.

      Because limited public transport network. Everyone has only 24hr/day, and it will be up to you to spend your time, whether on a car or on a job/recreation to recharge. They held your time as hostage (with the passive help from ignorant lazy gov), so now you have to pay to keep your time. I forgot what study edi that human's activity circle generally is within 1 hour of travelling. Before cars are invented the size of city is 1 hour by foot/cycle, for example. So now with highways build this rule still apply. Add traffic congestion or tol into the equation to shrink the area. All these the developer spent time to study one leh don't play play. So we as consumer, we only get to choose whether we want to pay extra RM500 on house installment or for tol+petrol+time+car , we only get to manage where we spend, can hardly keep the money.
      Sky rights? Developer will just channel those to consumers 😂😂
