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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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....
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.....
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
Main concerns : infrastructure like roads, public transport, walkways, dirty open drains. I don’t know if these are being considered but would they be able to support so many new residential developments. Appartements blocks in R and F are very close to one another, very high density and not appealing, in my opinion
the main issues on Rf is the building quality. Can interview any tenant there they will tell the truth . Off course the agent wont tell n owner try to cover
its true JB city center will get denser, eventually it will spread out as infrastructure is maxed out. With regards to R&F, I think come visit Phase 2, is much better than Phase 1
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.
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
@@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
@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
Every one will have their own views.. we must do our own research and not be influenced by others. Points to consider: Exchange rate Political stability Rental yield Supply vs demand Security Infrastructure Economy
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)?
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
R&F China said premium residences but their quality of work, toilet, water leak are damn terrible. Do they have any expertise or reputable in building , residence, hotel?
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
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
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
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
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 !!
@@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.
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
@@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???
@@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.
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
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.

@steventay5834 To each his own & free your mind. In one TH-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.

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.

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
Where do you live?
Singapore
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
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
Singaporean can buy below 1M???
from select developments from the developer can. Medini also can
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
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
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
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
Caveat emptor. He is a property agt. If motivation is Investment - strictly no no. If u hv money to waste just to have a hol home or keep a mistress there, I have nothing to say.tho. A smooth talker no doubt.
@@theone6002 thank you for your praises haha
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?
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 TH-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.
@@jonnowee983 I agree that costs of living is comparatively lower in JB. There are more factors to consider. How to live in JB? Find a job? What about your family in Singapore? Accommodations in JB : buy a property? Better to rent.
Many factors to consider.
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
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
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 TH-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
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
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.
CONDOS IN JOHORE FOR SINGAPOREANS TO BUY ❓️❓️❓️
JUST LOOKED AT FOREST CITY ❗️❗️
INVESTING IN CONDOS IN JOHORE ARE DEAD DUCKS.....VERY HARD TO SELL TO NEXT BUYERS ❗️❗️❗️
thank you for your useful opinion
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....
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
