    Furthermore, you can deduct the fair costs of renovation and fees from your RGPT.

    Yes, the recent Budget should have a positive effect on the MYR. I try to find time to do a longer term SGDMYR technical analysis. I hope to share my insights soon.

    You can't sell to foreigner if it's below RM1m. Judging by the market prices, you can only sell to locals then. Budget says 2014. I think should be 1 Jan 2014.

    I was with Steven Tan of Skybridge and Ryan Khoo of Alpha Marketing just now. They briefly discussed their sentiments on how the 3 new measures (1. higher entry price, 2. no DIBS and 3. higher RGPT) could impact the market. If you think it's worth your time, I'm offering my views too. :) 1...

    Sorry, I thought I have given a few examples. :confused: Anyway, HK Disneyland, as you pointed out, is within 1hr train ride away from Hong Kong island. Paris Disneyland is also 1hr drive away, as is Liufu - 1hr from Taipei city. And on Gold Coast, the theme parks are... you guessed it, 1hr...

    Hi. I'm not quite sure if you are buying to invest or retire. Or all you a salesman in disguise trying to promote both properties? Anyway, if you are thinking of investing, then you come to the wrong forum. This is because the forumers who already bought will surely convince you that prices...

    Well, a lot of the big theme parks worldwide are situated far away from the city centre. Disneylands, Gold Coast's Worlds and US Six Flags come to mind instantly. It makes sense because land price is lower, so construction cost can be kept lower while the real estate remains large. Customers...

    I don't think it's individual-titled there, but I saw some owners at Nusa Sentral already extending their second level balcony, erecting higher walls and changing the color of their facade already.

    I had the opposite experience. The longest I have queued is 4 hrs into JB on a very early Sat morning, but that was due to Mas Selamat's escape. All outgoing cars were also subjected to 100% checks. More recently, on a hazy evening in June, I queued for 2.5hrs to get home. I never had a long...

    I didn't know about this until someone informed me in this forum too. Before that, I had been banking in a few big sums at a My CIMB branch; the biggest being RM50k. No one at the counter asked me any questions. I supposed it is because my current account is linked to my home loan account...

    Re: The Epic :) I viewed the Opal series of semi-ds. While the price was reasonable compared to neighboring tamans, the quality seemed sub-par. The road leading to MM needs repair urgently unless you drive an SUV. It's not too far from Bt Indah though.

    Setia Eco Cascadia

    I went to the show houses on Tues morning, ferried by a SP Setia staff (not the driver / security guard). Naturally, I was the only guest around in the entire Cascadia compound. When I wanted to leave, I couldn't find the security guard onsite, so I had a stroll (albeit a very hot one) to the...

    Eco Botanic @ Nusajaya

    Wow, 5 questions in a post. You must have bought a unit, haven't you? Firstly, you need to establish if you are asking about Eco Botanic by Eco World or Eco Gardens by SP Setia. I don't think Eco World allows subsale. Even if that is allowed, I doubt anyone will have a crystal ball to foresee...

    Re: SG Loan of Msian Loan Better ? Hidden Costs ? Hmmm... I thought this is straightforward enough. #A Sg bank's Forex rates to the developer would typically carry +/- 300 pips spread. That's roughly an addition of 1.0% to 1.3% loading depending on the SGDMYR exchange rate. However, that's...

    There is no way to build a high bridge for oil rigs that can be as tall as 500ft. A draw bridge is also not feasible in anticipation of the high volume of road traffic. The way I see it, there's little for Sg to gain economically for having this 3rd link. Building a normal link means sealing...
