Dining area

Pangsapuri Lagoon Perdana

Just some good news to share.  Sara's Lagoon Perdana apartment is, as of today, officially full house with all deposits by tenants paid.  There are 4 people living here in this 900+ square feet house, with most of them being students of the colleges nearby.  Congratulations Sara, you are now a landlady!  Welcome to the world of tenant management!

Property & Co - First Sharing Session

Property & Co is a group of 4 friends with like-minded interest in property investments and sharing.  Today the first sharing session is run successfully with some close friends and blog-readers as participants.  The session is jam-packed with practical, hands-on information that is valuable for beginners in property investments.
Gambatte, Property & Co!  May you have many more sessions that will put other people on the fast-track to property investments.

Klang Valley MRT project

This is a very impressive video created to give us an idea of the stations and stops of the planned MRT project.
I think the MRT project is long overdue, although I do think that it should go underground more than above ground.  And certain high density residential areas are still not covered, like Subang and Subang Jaya.

So if your properties are near the proposed stations, you may be in for greater capital appreciation.

Something exciting is brewing

I am so excited yesterday and today that I cannot sleep. This always happens when I find what I believe is a good deal in property, I act quickly and then because the other party has not said "Deal!" - I'm left in the unknown zone for a day or 2.
Yesterday I've stumbled across my first commercial property.  I hope the deal goes through.  It was an accidental discovery.  I wanted to look at iproperty.com.my at the details of an auction property for my friend during lunch time. When I opened it, suddenly my eyes saw the word: newest listings and found that a property was listed for one of my target areas.  Since it was lunch time, I immediately called the agent and arranged viewing on the same day.

Commercial Properties

Will the owner accept the deal?  Well, I will just have to wait and find out!

Update on Lagoon Perdana Apartment, Sunway

Finally after many months of work, Sara's apartment at Bandar Sunway is ready for rental.  Hopefully, the rental is smooth and without any anxiety to her.  Her hubby has almost done everything himself on the wiring, lights and even plumbing.  Sara only engaged contractor to do the grills.  The rest of the items are from the earlier "borong" sale, or picked up later.  Some of the items are brand new because they require delivery.

The selling point of this unit that it is bright and tastefully decorated. Sara even installed an RO water filter system in the kitchen because she knows that students are too busy to boil water for themselves and having safe and clean drinking water is a priority to students and their parents.
The apartment has 3 rooms, all equipped with study tables and chairs, beds and mattresses, wardrobe, lights and fans.  The common sharing items include fridge, tv, washing machine and a brand new microwave oven.
Good luck, Sara, hope you can get all your tenants soon.

Auction property course with Dr Peter Yee

Today Sara and I spent a day with Dr Peter Yee in his auction course.  It was filled with practical steps, great strategy and laughter throughout the whole session.

One of the real-life properties for inspection

As shared by many who are inspired by him, Dr Yee is unassuming, always humble and shares from his heart.  It's been a great session, hopefully I can also be successful in auction properties after my first unsuccessful attempt.
I think I have 2 friends who are similarly inspired by him, as reported in How to Choose Investment Shop-Offices  and Property Virgin March 2011.

Dear all,  I would like to promote the sharing session run by my property investor/blogger friends.
