Keep an eye for all the new launch property or completing soon project at the locations abovementioned. Get ready to make more money from hotspots property! More importantly, get your money be prepared! Cash is King!!!
Many property investors are adopting a “wait and see” attitude. Nothing to be surprised, do thing last minute always is Malaysian style! For me, there are three groups of investor in whatever type of investment:
- Sense first, get first (先知先觉)
- Sense later, get later (后知后觉)
- Never sense, never get (不知不觉)
So, sense more and get more! Go visit more property showrooms, do more actual site survey, read more property investment books, do more analysis, and etc. Put for afford and just do it!

Dear Horlic,
Currently the Bungalow land in SP SETIA ECO PARK is selling for RM 160 per sq.ft. under secondary market. Do you think it is a bit too high for investment ?
Dear Horlic,
Can u advice me on nilai impian developed by
Sime darby, it is a good investment?
My first impression on the Sime Darby Nilai Impian was the 680 acres freehold land is just too big and might take too long for my investment property’s capital appreciation. During the time I went there in 2007 and 2008, I can’t recall there is any impressive lake garden landscaping for the township? Well, just my 2cents point of view.

Greetings!
Am looking to invest in a condo unit for my own stay. Which are the hot properties & locations currently, in the 800 – 900k bracket? Is Mont Kiara over saturated or is it still a worthwhile investment? Any inputs on Kiaramas Cendana, Ameera and Gita Bayu (new condovilla)? Thanks!
Hi Horlic Lim and all investors,

Hi Horlic,
Would need your advise…i plan to buy my first property for investment..I looking in Setapak and Bukit Jalil location.
a) Which location is prefereable ?
b) Can i get a property with my current budget around RM200k – RM250k ?
Appreciate you reply.
Thanks
Clariss, between Bukit Jalil and Setapak, i prefer Setapak. Yes, you can always get a property with budget RM250K.
Hi. Plan to buy my 1st property for investment too. Now am looking at KOI KINRARA and KINRARA MAS Puchong, Condominium. What do you think about these 2 projects? Thank you.
Subang andaman project already under construction. So far the base level is almost done. I’m one of the buyer and it is use for my own living. Any buyer here?
Claris
Setapak still has plenty of property below RM250k (condo and flat) but for landed, not many.
Are you looking for CASH FLOW INVESTING or CAPITAL APPRECIATION?
@Claris, you may still able to get some landed properties about RM250K around Seri Rampai area.
Hi Kong Hui,
What doyou mean by “Cash Flow Investing” and Capital Appreciation”.
Hope u can explain in details..Thanks
Hi Horlic,
The house i plan to buy is for investing purpose.
That would be good if i take condo rather than landed rite?
I check up some property in genting klang,setapak (Condo: Setapak Ria,Sri Pelangi) which can get it below RM250K but i quite old already…
If the condo nearby Setapak LRT station it would be higher price.
@Clariss,
Feel free to visit a short blog below on Cash Flow Investing.
http://chongkonghui.blogspot.com/2010/09/cash-flow-investing-vs-capital-gain.html
The idea is for investing, not asset accumulation. Cash flow is present value. Capital gain is future value.
Try this agent. I had chat with him before. He has right attitude and knowledge as a broker and familiar with Setapak area.

Hi Mr.Lim,
I am planning to attend the property fair this weekend as I am looking into buying one for investment, either something I could resell with good value and demand or am able to rent it out if can’t sell.
My budget is 250k (maybe can extend to 270k but if necessary). I believe for that budget in an area where I can sell or rent I’ll have to go for condos or service apartments. I wouldn’t mind shoplot unit as well if it is a good investment. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am 25 years old (just in case you’re thinking about loan related stuff).
I have been doing some research and shortlisted a few that looks good but I could be absolutely wrong. Can you kindly advise me further on what I should be watching out for?
The ones I have thought of are (not sure if they are all sold out by now):

Hi Horlic
What a great site you have created. I will certainly return. Can you recommend good apartments for investment around Ampang Hilir or Sri Hartamas? I have previously invested near the Polo Club in Ampang. Thanks! Albert

Horlic, want to ask for investment, Cova suite in Kota damansara still can buy or not ? 450k.

Hi Horlic,
I would like to invest on apartment,
currently considering between two choices,
Suasana Sentral Loft or Hampshire Place
What is your view on both of the properties?
Anglina, i prefer Suasana Sentral Loft. Brickfields/KL Sentral is transforming, there are more excitement factors to come, better transportation hub too.

Hi, thanks for all the good information. it’s very simple and well organized.
Hi, Mr Horlic Lim
I am a newborn baby in property investment and would like to seek for your opinions.
1) I would like to invest in Cova Suite at Kota Damansara. Not sure if studio and 2 rooms apartment are better than 3 rooms’s?
2) Is the mentioned area still worth to invest? I mean the monthly rental and the resale value after 3 to 5 years?
Thanks and Regards,
Josh
Hi Josh, Kota Damansara is a great location to invest property. With the upcoming MRT, it is an extra bonus and finally will be transforming Kota Damansara to become a greater place targeting for rental properties. But, bank’s valuation to be on par with the seller’s asking price is the biggest challenge nowadays. Higher entry cost means lower Cash on Cash return.
2 or 3 bedrooms is ok, but i prefer not to go for big built-up unit (>1,200sqft). Spacious unit means higher selling price, higher entry cost, higher maintenance fees, lower ROI. If the Segi College to be replaced by Taylor, then the Cova Suite is a great choice.
Just my 2cent. Happy investing!
Hi Stephen, hope this could give u some idea..
