 |
|
| Would appreciate some feedback/comments from those who invested in these service suites..what capital appreciation did you get? Potential for rental? Rental rate? Potential type of tenants, are they expats? locals? Pros and cons of investing in a unit? Thanks, people! |

Service Suites is actually not working in Jiulai Maluri area.... another good example is Pertama Residency. The occupancy is still very low since it is VP last year November. D'alamanda service suite also take more than 1 year just to achieve 50-60% occupancy rate... unlike those standard units which have better demand.

| I find the location is not bad. Next to LRT, Jusco, large park, near City Centre, etc.... I really wonder why Sri Cempaka and Pertama Residency is not a good buy? |

Missing factor is the 'feel good factor' in real estate; the missing mid-high income bracket or demographics necessary to sustain high rents & caps!

Pls add the expat factor into the equation as well for small service suites. Locals seldom pay high rent premiums for small studios out of their own pockets, unless paid for by companies.

Yeah. It operates like a hotel. Most units there are used as hotels.
I would think it is similair as 10 Semantan Suites and Holiday Villa concept. Most units are hotels but there are some private owners too.
Please correct me if i am wrong... |

You are right.
So where do you find out "RM180k for a KLCC unit with tenancy of RM1500"?

I find the accupancy rate in Pertama Residency is not too bad. It increase slowly. The one empty are mainly coz the owner doesn't wanna rent out or waiting to sell it. I find it is easy to rent out though. I have a unit there and it rented out within 2 weeks I got the key. It is consider really fast compare to other properties that I have.
Even D'Alamanda is fetching very good rental return now. Rm1500 for a 2 bedroom apartment.
I just think that the Sri Cempaka's concept just don't work in that Maluri area. If it is for long term rental, I think it will work better. |
