You may need to work with your agent to find out more of the rental demand in each area. On average apartment has higher rental yield compared to landed property, which produces better cash flow income. While landed property in good location promises higher appreciation in long term. I believe it will be more important for you to understand first what type of investment you are looking for, i.e. cash flow or capital gain. My advice is always go for cash-flow-generating property (apartment/condo) first before you invest extra capital into higher risk investment. Cheers Hi Richard,

A seller is asking for up to 380k for a 12th floor unit and I think there are quite some renovation work required. What is your opinion on Wadihana condominium as a home/investment for future?

Price there is about RM200k ~ RM250K. Strata title is already issued. Maintenance is RM150/pm. Would you consider this aaprtment to be a good investment. I read on a some forums that there is no way for JB apartments to appreciate in price. Price always falls after launch. Is that true? Maybe we should invest in landed house? But rents for landed house seem very low. Thanks for your advice. Hi Mr Ong
