As a singaporean, I can buy HDB and collect rental when I retire in JB. I'm not sure a SPR can hold on to hdb if they are no longer working in SG and retiring in JB. I doubt so...and I would be damn piss if they can. But as a Malaysian, they can work in Singapore and earn S$ just like...

1 house + rm500k difficult to retire unless your annual expense less than 3-5%x500k or RM15000-RM25000. 1 JB house to stay + 1 hdb to rent + RM1million , will provide for annual expenses of about rm50k from rental and RM50k from Dividend earnings. That is quite comfortable to retire in...

Yeah lor...I also have difficulty previously opening a fixed deposit with AmbAnk even though i had a loan with them but many bros here said no problems. Eventually I had FD with Public Bank which I also have a loan with them. Probably they tighten the regulations for new Accts recently. I think...

Anyone familiar with home exchange vacation ? like www.homeexchange.com I think it would be wonderful to be able to retire in JB and occasionally do home exchange and live in another country to experience the world. If we have a nice big house, more likely to find people who's willing to...

I went yesterday to see look. Many people. Tropez Residences. Freehold. 2+1 br. High floor. About 600psf.

Bro, I think they refer to Coastal highway which would be toll-free and fully operational from Apr.

I am paying RM 11084 for the state levy including all legal fees, etc. So your rm1840 may be higher than my RM1084 but hey they absorbed the 10k! It's not something to break a deal for....

Abt option 1 - i won't be too optimistic about rental sure can cover installment. Price is quite high now. Interest rate may not stay low for next 30 yrs. Abt option 2- if assume there's no rental possibility, and you are not staying there....then better dun buy unless someone mentioned you...

I read this somewhere on the net. Dunno how true. Consider following scenario of a newly married couple John and Mary. The couple bought a condo where John parents paid for the downpayment. Couple pays for installment. Shortly after,, couple had a kid named Tom. Then couple bought another...

My answer is no if there's already a loan in servicing. It'll be useful in the case where a property has been purchased and would be completed in 2 or 3 years. Loan will start in 2 or 3 years (sometimes the developer absorb interest during construction period...so no point also saving...

I am waiting till my neck long long....;-)

You need to setup a bank account in Malaysia first. Better to be a current account where you can issue cheque. Transfer money by remittance companies. There are many to choose from which are recommended in this forum. Conversion rate is usually better than money exchange but there is a...

I am thinking they don't have to put the toll at CIQ. But after CIQ, they can put toll( i.e erp) at EDL and Tebrau highway, and no toll if to other roads. EDL fee at twice tebrau highway's fee. Then Singapore side cannot increase their price.....

Re: Which bank offers the best FD rate for non-residents? Finally manage to put money in FD with Public Bank. 1yr , staggered rate averaging at 3.5%. Also talked me into investing in a balanced fund. For every 5 dollar invested in the fund, can put 1 dollar in FD with 5.65% rate for 1 yr.

Hitesh, Option 1) buy to stay in around 2020 when MRT link is up, their internal transport network is ready, but at higher price. Option 2) buy now at probably lower price, try to rent out in the mean time, and move in around 2020. My personal take is that MRT will happen. Iskandar will...

I thought property tax the most rm1k per yr for a normal terrace or semi d? But Singapore property also need to pay tax. I paid rm3k+ insurance for 10 yrs. I think you can buy minimum insurance and for the money paid you get insurance in return...not pay for nothing. What's monthly PMI?

There's too many what ifs.... What if the value of iskander property reach same level as Singapore in 15 years time ? A condo now at rm500k becomes RM2.4M. What if the 2 IRs in Singapore push up crime rate in Singapore ? What if Singapore government really push up local population to 6.5m and...

This is called setting the expectations first, then when they announce the price which is only 2-3 times more, everybody is ok. If every visit cost S$15, I believe Singaporeans will cut down the day trip visit quite significantly.

Setia Tropika has 2 condo projects - Sky Gardens and Sky Peak (if I remember correctly).... I saw the model at ST office.
