Thank you for this video.. after previously asking why was Tri and twin tower not mentioned b4.. v informative! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hope it helps
Thankyou for your informative regards to all condo at JB
Hope it helps
Well done Ryan Khoo pros cons of projects.👍
Hope it is useful to you
I live in JB for about 10 years and didn't know as much as you. 👍 job Ryan very useful
JB is changing fast as development comes in@@jameskwa
An honest and interesting video. Thanks.
Thank you
What's your take on Sky 88? The density and material seems 5 star. The location is also right within the prime location (behind Astaka?), just a 5 minutes drive to CIQ so not far and also won't stuck in jam to go in and out of that residence.
Build quality is good. But the micro-location errr....downstairs that street some low-mid grade F&B. Nothing of interest walking distance. If I wanna buy near RTS, I don't intend to drive already. If I drive, for lifestyle purposes can go further out
What is your view on old highrise like Orchid View with unit layout of 1500 sqf and low density (66 unit for 12 storey building), also considered walking distance from RTS Station (less than 1km)?
Problem is building very old. And Malaysia no en bloc law yet (a draft is being prepared though). So the pricing will be affected by its age
great buy only for malaysian
Hi Ryan , nice videos, whats your view on the Iskander Region, can you do a video on that area, there are numerous projects there, puteri cove, teega, somerset, encorp etc, do you see and potential there , is the proposed HSR nearby puteri harbour. Will you invest there as well
Sure maybe in a future video. Actually the majority of my property holdings in Johor are in Iskandar Putri side.
Dead town. just a notch better than ghost town forest City
How big is R&F, they seem to have many units keep launching? Would the RTS be extend the line further if I am not able to get these Top 5?
Phase 1 about 3,400 units completed 2018. Very high occupancy now. Phase 2 completing this year (this month likely) another 3,400 units. There is land for subsequent phases but nothing launched yet right now.
Currently the RTS is only 1 station at JB city center opposite City Square. There are discussions for an internal LRT within JB (see my other video) but nothing confirmed right now.
The RnF walkway heard tear down for RTS rail way, as it is blocked along the way.. As for the Twin T.. There is a mosq opp, reviews that is loud enough to be honest. So any chance you could talk about oasis?
The R&F walkway teardown is temporary. It will be put back sometime later. Twintower yes there is a mosque nearby. Personally I don't think it's a big deal but ya maybe some don't like
Oasis? Where Oasis?
the ultimate deal breaker.... the sole reason to buy R&F got torn down 😂😂
@@ocswoodlands it's temporary. Will be put back. To facilitate RTS construction
@@AlphaMarketingSG Oasis Residence
Hi Ryan, I really like Summerscape. It’s a 5 minute car ride to the RTS station and I kinda like that it’s in a quiet neighborhood good with mostly landed houses. Also, they have large units of 2,800 sq feet with only 78 units in the entire condo. Direct lift to each unit.
Your thoughts on Summerscape pls?
if you are willing to drive 5 mins there will be so many options to choose from. but you will not have good rental yield. daily commuters will not want to have to worry about traffic and parking getting to the mrt station.
@@marcrp5995 I plan to live there and not rent it out to others.
My wife will drop me at the RTS station when I need to go into Singapore.
Yes I know Summerscape. If you like it for own stay ya by all means go ahead. The only other comparable condo project is the Astaka. Once you compared both, then you can decide. Like what you highlighted, low density in a landed enclave, for lifestyle purposes maybe you like that, buy for own use then go ahead.
@@AlphaMarketingSG cool. Thanks bro
sg increase hdb space for rental capacity from 6 to 8 will affect jb rentals ? they may prefer to rent in sg .
Yes and no. There will always be people who prefer SG to reduce travel time. There will also always be people who prefer MY for cheaper rents for more space
Ok, we stayed at R&F last month to check them out. Minor, but I didn't like some of the finishes. For example, the master shower stall is smaller than the one in the hallway and then the door opens inward. It was almost impossible to get in there, esp if you are bigger sized. And, I didn't like the exposed overhead water tanks in all of the bathrooms. Yes, agree, that the shops on the ground floor are convenient and the restaurants were quite good. We liked the dim sum place. I am just concerned if there are any other finish issues out there.
If you saw the water tank in the bath, it must be a block A1 or A2 unit. The other blocks don't have this problem. They rectified it for the rest. And Phase 2 as well. Water tank in ceiling.
The mall is a glass half full situation if you ask me. Though occupancy is low now, the basics are there and enough F&B options for convenient eats. It can only get better. More are opening if you see the renovation works going on at some parts of the mall
@@AlphaMarketingSG I was impressed enough with the night walking traffic in the complex as it is. I agree, this development is definitely still for consideration. We had a developer saleswoman show us the model units. Maybe it is an Asia thing, but I can't bring myself to buying a unit or BTO type place before it is finished. A priority for me is the sea view from the balcony. Well, if you can't show me what I am getting how do you expect me to buy? Chicken or the egg.....
you PM me at 81261626, I arrange to bring you up Phase 2 see some actual units@@vwchan841
buy bangalow-semi-terrace ard checkpoint n build yr ow 2 yr spec
Near CIQ area lack of chinese food establishment. Mostly halal food. Ok if you only live there for one week.
Have la. Why don't have
Any of these developers have good maintenance track records ? One problem with malaysia condos is about long term maintenance.
For the 3 above that are completed so far, my opinion is so far so good. In fact a good thing about condos that have high Singaporean ownership is they tend to pay their maintenance fees haha. Alof of these projects have 85-90% collection rates. Come visit to see for yourself
@@AlphaMarketingSG Of course when the buildings are still new, you will never be able to see the difference. Why not you take buildings that are more than 5 years under the same developer?
@@Buttercookies0 this is R&F first project in Malaysia
Do you get any insider info for R&F phase 2 completion?
Going to complete already. Its like 95/99% there, left all the small stuff here and there. And Bomba approval. I have been up a few times on Phase 2 actual units
Wait for the R&F on the other side of causeway, opposite the JB post office. A quieter place
@@cac1504 still many years down the road
Any thoughts on the Astaka?
Only big units circa RM2mil and above. Not walkable to RTS. Design style is preferred by Singaporeans but as a rental play the yield is lower. No commercial/ amenities downstairs. But if you like the space and the luxury for own stay, go ahead
i stayed in a R&F unit which was run on AirBNB and found the building quality to be quite low. There was also very minimal maintenance and the place looked really run-down.
@delsol1967 I just stayed one Airbnb in Phase 1 that I thought was a pretty poor Airbnb stay too haha. But I have stayed much nicer Airbnbs in Phase 1 before. So I guess sometimes see the operator. That being said, Phase 2 is much better build quality vs Phase 1. Come visit to compare
@@AlphaMarketingSG i wasn't talking about the specific unit I stayed in but in a general sense regarding the whole development
Anyone knows the estimated total time, including immigration clearance, from any of the 5 condos to say woodlands MRT station? 30 mins?
Now is all "estimated" haha. I think there is alot of variables at play. But 30mins ya why not
journey sg 2 jb 5 minutes...passport 2 times 40 minutes ..exit check pointes 2 jb 40 minutes 100 minutes
What do think of Mid Valley Southkey? Seems like this place is developing a new township
@@music_adventures88 1 big negative factor for Southkey is that it is leasehold and balance lease if I'm not wrong is less than 80 years
But I find is a good location with convention centre, offices, retails, big shopping mall Southkey Mid Valley. Its a vibrant township with lots of entertainments & future developments. Now I can see why it is a leasehold property which I think it doesn't matter. Our HDB also leasehold mah....
@@music_adventures88 sure if you don't mind the balance lease, then ya its nice to be in close proximity to MidValley
How long do i have to be away from Malaysia to re-enter the country for 30 days visa free?
technically you can go back immediately. But if you exhibit a pattern of staying in Malaysia longer than Singapore over a period of time, then immigration will question if you are residing in Malaysia instead of Singapore. Usually residency is defined if you spend more than half a year in a particular country
it takes an hour now to walk to TT tower after clearing msian CIQ to get there assuming zero jam/ To get to RnF condo it takes half an hour of walking if zero jam at CIQ. Just to walk out of CIQ takes 15 mins round and round the whole complex. I dont understand why msian architech cannot draw straight line. Can forget walking to RnF condo once the Rapid station open...it is like miles away and if you walking you better run a marathon
Half an hour? Actually even in SG if you live a couple of blocks away from MRT also some walking is required. Not everyone lives directly next to MRT station
The Wadihana near to depot site within walking distance too?
Walkable but along a sort of kampung road, not sheltered and no pathway. Not advisable to walk
bro if you don't mind buy a mic for the videos:) i think will be good
someone my setting not right on my mike. Will fix it
Ah I found the problem in my microphone settings. Will be better moving forward
i also walked before from Majidee Park to CIQ - hahaha
not really advisable to walk that
@@AlphaMarketingSG why not - i did it when i was in sekolah rendah. retirees in singapore walk from Changi to MBS or even more. Why not advisable???? too dangerous???
@@marinekong235 too far, no proper walkway, exposed to weather and traffic. Dangerous in that sense
@@AlphaMarketingSG don't be so sheltered hahaha
Good summary. I stayed in Tri Towers and you are right, it doesnt feel 5 star. Finishings are also too ordinary. But to be fair the sky lounge is very nice. And yes, the walkway is non existent and guess what we had to cab to the City Square even though the distance is so short !!
Walk la to City Square. If i pay Grab go City Square like abit wasted haha 😄
@@AlphaMarketingSG like you said it is dangerous to walk on the road; the road is very uneven, unpaved and unsheltered. There are also potholes. Grab is cheap so we decided to just grab every time we go City Square. This is quite an irony, in Spore, I dont mind walking 900m or more to a mall because the walk is easy as it is either "underground" or well sheltered "door to door" all the way.
😂
R&F has very low quality funishing , it looks like a cheap flat to me 😢
Please Go and have a good look by your self before commenting about it😮
Kim Teng Park landed can buy?
I think cannot buy right? I believe govt halt all transactions there because potentially govt acquisition
In fact, it may be easier to walk to Astaka in future....
Hmm...sounds like a bias towards RnF.
How to walk to Astaka from RTS? Haha. Not possible. There is no walkpath and pass a very busy section of the road. Go visit you will know what I mean
I own units around the future RTS....to which Astaka will likely to be more walkable than RnF.
Juz wait n see 😊
@SSxxx18 you try and walk today to Astaka from RTS haha. You will give up halfway. It's not about near or not near, it's about whether walkable or not
@@AlphaMarketingSG RTS is future. You keep talking about today. Amazing.
Last time you compare puteri harbour with Monaco.. What happen to puteri harbour now?
Puteri Harbour still there. But Iskandar Putri side affected by HSR cancellation. See my latest video for 2024 updated news
@@AlphaMarketingSG having hsr or not, is not so important.. In China, so many fourth tier cities having hsr station, but the economy there is not developed...
I had this discussion before with Chinese developer on JB considered what tier city. Population wise JB or Singapore not even Tier 2 city, more like Tier 3 city. But from importance and connectivity perspective, JB is considered Tier 2 city. HSR is important because our connectivity between JB is quite bad today. HSR will have one stop in JB and will do for Iskandar Putri what RTS is doing for JB city center right now. Puteri Harbour also has other issues primarily linked to the master developer not being able to accomplish much@@kenjikenji4870
How about Oasis Residence?
Developer has very minimal/unknown track record. The 900m distance is open walk along kampong road, not really walkable. Still very early stages of construction
YOu didn't mention that Twin Tower and Tri Tower are prone to massive jams, and you might not be able to get to your condo during the jam.
ah yes thats true. The road leading in is very jammed right now
U can walk to rts and take local bus to go around
@@DTYY941 I doubt Singaporeans will use the local bus service much. But Grab is fairly affordable in JB. Most city locations RM10-15 one way
How can foreigners get ringgit financing in malaysia and do you have any recommendations?
Singaporeans can get financing in Malaysia banks easily. Other nationalities difficult or very selective
Do we just walk in and use our IRAS NOA to get a IPA?
@CHANST talk to a mortgage sales staff but normally here don't do IPA. Your real estate agent should be able to advise you your monthly repayment, down-payment estimates based on what you are buying. Watch my earlier videos to find out more on financing
2:50
How to talk about walk way when MRT project site is still a long way? Open a back door gate lah.
R&F has a walkway built already. Coronade already started ground breaking for their own. No need wait for RTS to complete. You can see where the RTS station is.
Have you seen the inside units of R&F before you commented so nice about it . Please go and have a good look😢
Low quality of finishing 😂
Looks more like a cheap flat to me 😅
@@paulinelim1947 RnF not cheap flat. Really.
Juz pretty China.
private, did you have unit in r&f
i dont have R&F but i have other residential, commercial, industrial properties in JB. I unfortunately am in a situation where I am over-leveraged. So unless I buy cash or sell something first before I can buy R&F
650m is distance to CIQ not RTS, from CIQ to RTS is not sheltered?
It is. Basically CIQ to RTS will be connected buildings. Sheltered for sure. RTS has its own CIQ (not to confuse with the current CIQ)
Got any car park?
yes most condo in JB come with carpark. Coronation Residences and Quayside do not though
Suasana is even nearer than coronade
Yes if i would add another condo to this video yes it would be Suasana. Small project, layouts are irregular, small windows in the smaller units. But has a decent retail complex downstairs and shares the building with Amari Hotel
What about Oasis Residence?
Developer has very minimal/unknown track record. The 900m distance is open walk along kampong road, not really walkable. Still very early stages of construction
SKS Pavillion?
Ya didnt include that as it's technically abit off. Can walk yes
Other than coronade residences, i hv heard of the rest. However, none is my cup of tea. Still prefer landed with huge land and serene environment. If u want me to choose condo over landed, i think i will go for Astaka instead. Jus my 5 cents opinion.
Astaka too overpriced. Is like they charging u the price it will be 20 years later. U havent add inflation added for maintenance. Demand wont able to cover up as theres still more land to develop newer condo etc
@@DTYY941 i cant deny that. Given the fact that Astaka is a high end luxury branded condo, comes with fully furnished, simply move in with your luggage.
Landed there are no proper options near RTS. Have to travel out at least 30-45mins by car
When you say that Private Developer cannot be trusted, you should also mention that the so-called top 10 China Developer too, as they could be related or linked to Evengrande; so be a responsible youtuber........
i didnt say private developer cannot be trusted, but private developer you can't tell their finances are actually strong or not. Its not easy to be a property developer. Financial strength needs to be there. R&F linked to Evergrande? How?
If RnF is your best recommendation, then better not buy. So many are selling and renting. Prices are above what Malaysians can afford. So who will buy from you if u want to exit?
You get your conclusion from seeing the number of listings on PropertyGuru? Haha. Do call the listings and verify. Alot of fishing listings. Actual listings not many
@AlphaMarketingSG likewise, why would anyone buy based on what u said? Most Malaysians live in landed than condos. Buy condos, then how to resell. In your video， u kept saying the earlier buyers make money. Why don't u show us true evidence how much money they make?
ah you are using those old assumptions again. You can check the average Malaysian in KL or Penang, how many live in condo. And increasingly in JB as well. Come visit me in JB I will show you, I don't have anything to hide. Occupancy can easily see in many condos now from outside. Transaction data for Malaysia is about 9 months old and doesn't include new launch. But I can show you developer sales transactions here, we already hit RM1,200psf in R&F now @@locktc
@@AlphaMarketingSG I not saying u got anything to hide. I know the prices have dropped quite badly. So those who bot before covid plus exchange rate, how could they make money? For those who bot last year and prices have moved, do they make money after the exchange rate? These r questions u haven't answered.
Prices in R&F didn't drop, they went up. Phase 1 average buyer would have paid around 8xx-9xx psf. Now Phase 2 transacting RM1,000psf up to RM1,200psf. With regards to exchange rate, I think if you bought anywhere outside of SIngapore in the past 10 years, you probably lose on FX. That includes popular destinations such as UK, Australia, Japan, Thailand - all these have FX loss versus SGD. And for many people in Singapore, actually buying a 2nd or 3rd property in Singapore can be extremely difficult due to ABSD and TDSR. You can have SGD500,000 in your bank account also can't buy anything, so Singapore is not really an option if you already hit your "quota" @@locktc
I will never buy R&F condo because it is built on reclaim land.
Marina Bay and much of East Coast is reclaimed land. Are you a structural engineer?
freehold?
these are all freehold
Buy an old landed house at Kim Teng Park, next to RTS station.
I don't think can buy now. Transactions there locked
And houses very old. Only value is in the land which you not sure what govt will give for it
What is your view of country garden at Danga bay?
Its cheaper yes but if you can buy walking distance to RTS instead of driving distance to RTS is still better
@@AlphaMarketingSG Hi Ryan, I am seriously thinking about a unit at Danga Bay. Nice sea view and RM687 psf for a 893 sq ft 2 bedder. Would appreciate your views on what you see as a downside for this place. I am absolutely fine to receive real comments, not sugar coated ones. Thank you.
@@lesliewong2467 replied you on Whatsapp
CONDOS IN JOHORE FOR SINGAPOREANS TO BUY ❓️❓️❓️
JUST LOOKED AT FOREST CITY ❗️❗️

thank you for your useful opinion
Walk ah - if you do it often enough then one will be a target for people desperate for money.
that is your suspicion only... go see other videos from other retirees in Malaysia. On UA-cam can find many now
@@AlphaMarketingSG haha - i am a malaysian so i don't need to see on youtube those retirees that are doing well. How many retirees will come on youtube to say what a miserable they are living and all those mistakes they make. haha
don't just paint a rosy picture, need to tell the whole truth - not just the nice truth
don't consider these condos... 2 close to check point n noisy n expensive..n TRAFFIC JAMS..choose ONE STOP AFTER CHECKPOINT....cheaper n less crowded like ringit 378 per sq foot.....don't make mistake......no master plan in jb...just chaos n failures...u hv. 24 moths 2 select better and cheaper like batam...mersing inskindar or batu patah...lol... save money... buy one get one free.
One stop after checkpoint is where? There is only one station in JB city center now
wat a nincumpoo... next stopafter jb cheack point best place 2 buy -no traffic jams, more choices, 45% cheaper, 5 minutes from causeway check point.... don't pay premium 4 1st stop, @@AlphaMarketingSG
Factors to consider:
1) Political stability
2) Exchange rate
3) Supply of condo
4) Rental yield
I am inclined not to buy
Thank you for your comments
@steventay5834
To each his own & free your mind.
In one UA-cam video on JB - a MM2H guy said he cut his cost of living by 40% through relocating to JB from S'pore.
That to me says everything about life! Either you generate more wealth or you cut your cost of living so that you can consume more. The rest are irrelevant!
Secondly, the past is static while the future is dynamic. What happens in the past may not necessarily project into the future. That's why people need to free their minds & take a punt.
Its Lrt system. Not mrt
SG and MY LRT definitions not the same
@@AlphaMarketingSG how is it not the same? You google also can see clearly the system for RTS is Light Rail Transit.
@gl1363 The system used in RTS is 4 carriages, abit smaller than a typical MRT carriage in SG or MY. Not same as the LRT in Bukit Panjang/Punggol/Sengkang
@@AlphaMarketingSG the point is lrt capacity is lower and also lower speed. The RTS is NOT an mrt system.
@@gl1363 10,000 people per hour per direction
RnF is so hyperdense and China-style.
Twin Tower unit layout is horrid.
Tritower is two point-blocks for residents with very high ceiling. HDB dwellers should know wat i am talking. RTS is right behind. So no fight.
Why talk about walk way to RTS now when the whole area is a construction site?
The problem for Twintower and Tritower is who will build the walkway? Right now there are no such plans. As you can see another comment in this thread, someone else that stayed Tritower don't even walk to City Square, prefer to GRAB. Of course I hope they fix the walkway but developer already sold 100% units here, they have no reason to build it in the future
@@AlphaMarketingSG Juz wait and see lah. Haha.
If you want to suffer financially and mentally for the next 5-10 years, then go ahead and buy the JB condos. The ringgit keeps depreciating in value. Soon will be 1 to 4. If the value of the condos are so good, why doesn't the local Malaysians (including those working in SG ) buy the condos. They know better. Don't be misled by slick marketing.
Your financial prediction on FX rates are very good. We should all short the MYR now
One third buyers at R&F are Malaysian. Twintowers should be almost 100% Malaysian owners. There is this myth somehow that Malaysian dont buy condo at all haha. Then all the high rise in Malaysia owned by foreigners?
@@AlphaMarketingSG Remember the derecognition of CLOB saga in the 90's. Those investors that are still alive are still having nightmares.
@jer2911.L Mahathir already 98 and can't win his own parliament seat nowadays don't worry
@@AlphaMarketingSG Mahathir? He is a kitten compared to Hadi Awang. When PAS wins the next election and Hadi becomes the PM, he will ban all adult entertainment and alcohol in JB and the condos will be worth less that the concrete used to buid them. In politics anything can happen.
Are U paid by the developers? Must be joking.
I actually do represent some of the developers in this video. Open disclaimer. Which part am I joking?
no exclusivity..all 4 one... u sell u get paid..so start selling...not very effective by telll half truths....if they r 100% sold pointless promoting....lol....all lies..potential buyers should NOT buy until the next election n see who wins...consider forest hills when prices continue to fall another 50% wnem country garden bankrupt....jb has OVERSUPPLY of flats...60,000+700,000 units in forest hill....
