What i thought about condos back then.

One thing to look out for is to make sure the place you are buying is built up already. If its a reputable developer then its ok, at least you can put your trust in them to build your place up in 1-2 years. Best if you do it like me which is pay a higher premium but the whole house and everything else is done up. Just needs to plug in appliances, do the lights and aircon. I don't mind paying higher when it means i have something tangible on hand.

Also, avoid the condos there unless you know the place well,it may be good at the beginning but some of the management may later just run away or take your money and disappear, with no one to clear the rubbish and fix the lift, it will be a nightmare.

That is why much of their condos are dirt cheap, while on route to the Horizon Hills area, you will see some with advertisements saying 80,000 ringgit. Its actually not bad for the price that you are paying for but the locals advised me against it.

Always go for landed and gated security if you can. The management can't really run away because they are the developers and also they have a golf course and an image to maintain. Even in the very unlikely scenario that they run away, at worse i will hire a refuse truck daily to clear my rubbish and i don't have a lift to worry about, unlike a condo.

I would suggest starting small and getting a cluster or a terrace first, try it out and see if you like it.

The smell of fresh air in a safe environment is great! They built a park in the compound right besides my place and i can exercise and relax without the fumes from cars.

My wife told me Its a pity we are not bumis as they can get another 10 percent off but well, i am pretty happy as it is.

I hope all bros can benefit from this.
