This has to be the BEST You Tube real estate video I have seen! I have no interest in moving to KL but I was unable to stop watching. I hope this will become a regular feature on your channel. Thank you!
Really enjoyed. I would like to see more like these from different cities/towns. My friend from there says to just rent for 1 month to year and then move to another condo to enjoy the different locations and amenities rather that straight out buying.
With the intention to live longterm and even purchase a property, it makes little sense to rent shortlease for one month. Most rental leases for expatriates in KL go from a 1 to 2 year lease with a so called expatclause (be able to leave after 1 year, in case or relocation for work or other reasons). Also pricewise a one month lease is relatively far more costly per month.
Nice realtor. Very knowledgeable he seems. Im not sure about moving to that country. But looks like a million dollar place to me. Thank you for sharing this video.
Would love to see you guys do a episode on the dollar homes for expats in Italy. Your channel would explode right now as half of America wants to leave. Love these home tours in any country. I liked the second one hands down the best one.
The UK couple from "Travel Beans" recently bought an old house in Italy. It's not 1 euro but they said it was "affordable". Those 1 euro houses aren't really €1 since they need a lot of renovation & you have to pay agent's commission + govt taxes. Also, buying property won't make you automatically eligible for EU residency. You can only stay in the EU/ Schengen zone for 90 out of 180 days. Buyer beware, do your due diligence.
This is the best video i have seen on real-estate. Very informative ! I would like to see more of these from you two. I appreciate the map and all the talk on how close things are , and transportation in those specific areas. Great Agent interaction as well. He is up to date on locations and definitely aware of prices. I can tell he will service his clients as if they are the only persons on the planet. Thank you Amelia and JP. Looking forward to you next video.
These Condos in Kuala Lumpur were spectacular. The first Condo to me is a Wow factor. You guys did some really nice Condos in Equador. Equador is still probably better value especially by the beach.
Thanks JP and Amelia. This is a fantastic tour of properties and more of these please in KL (with Chris - he's so entertaining) and in each of your future countries. As someone who has worked a lot in KL, and lived for many years in Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta and Philippines, those outside of South East Asia don't realise the amazing opportunities available in SEA.
Yes, one of these are for you guys. Hey @AmeliaAndJP. I have been a long time subscriber and have visited many of the places you where you travel, except for KL. What I saw there in this video tells me that I should take a trip soon. The sofistication of KL with pseudo-British undertones is great. English spoken is perfect. And the healthcare system is EXACTLY what you guys need. Best regards from ATL
Guys you need to understand. In Malaysia you don't get ANYTHING included in new units. NO ac's no fans no lights no kitchen cabinets no closets...just 4 bare walls LOL. I know, my wife and I have bought several units during the last 20 years for living and as investments. As far as secondhand units they can be worth it, but you have to be careful as to the upkeep of the condo. If they have a good management company the common areas will be kept clean if not, it'll show. So, buyer beware.
If condos..yes. Most that are sold at RM300k above are usually semi furnished. In terms of quality expect them to be made in China products with weird brand names. It’s a miracle if it lasts more than 2 years 😊
As a full-time traveler for years and having lived overseas too . Date the place you like but don't marry it ..😊 In other words stay a renter , much cheaper and you don't have the hassles of building repairs and upgrades. Flexibility is key ! If you rent for a year or so and you really like the area then think about buying .... Just my 2 cents from experience..
Cute tour and nice places. It's very interesting to see how other people live. I full expected the realtor to break into song and start dancing. Entertainment plus❤
No 1, for sure ... Loved the space, balconies, price and new public transport coming ... Hopefully, you could opened up the kitchen, new bathrooms and decorate ... Great video and English comedian / Realtor ... Thank you all 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
No, never knock down walls to open up the kitchen, unless it improves the layout in a dramatic way (from the photos, this one wouldn't) Open-concept plan was cheaper for contractors and builders, but takes away the elegance and privacy of having separate rooms. That trend is thankfully disappearing...
Hi Amelia&JP…nice video..Should check out Penang island properties especially the seaside condos…And there is a number of luxury condos just next to Glenagles Hospital too.
Thank you for an informative upload. It will be most appreciated if you could also give some ideas of downsized 1-2 bedroom properties in other places you visit which are potentially favorable retirement countries and require less (perhaps $1😁😁k less) than the investment price tag in Malaysia. Thanks again.
Amelia and JP, THANK YOU! Now, I wish I had attended this year's Nomad Capitalist Live in KL. I liked the second condo, and move-in ready/fully furnished. I'm bringing only my suitcase, legal papers and electronics. I'm looking for a location that is walkable to bars/restaurants, with public transport to international airports and shopping. Oh, wait. Cannabis is a death sentence in Malaysia. Never mind...
The trade and posession of more than 200grs carries the death penalty. Believe me, if you smoke 200grs of cannabis, you won’t live to hear the death penalty being give to you in court.
That first place is very nice the only issue is the Oven placed right adjacent the entry exit to the kitchen thats a no no for flow. But you could move it near the refer is where it should be. It is a lovely place no clostraphonia here.
There are tons of good condos around (furnished or unfurnished). Just need time and a good agent to find it. Another consideration is condo management.
Nice condos. Great price !!! The renovation is always good, but the balcony on the 1st unit was awesome. I wonder how the beach towns are ? Morib Beach , Teluk Batik and more ....
Morib doesn't have any apartments except for the Gold Coast Morib service apartments, and landed house are mostly old builds...as for teluk batik, it have severals by the beach but it seems to be run down, nearby marina island, manjong have several landed propeeties bungalows, terraces, but its 5-10 years old... PD is ok but mostly old builds too Kuantan, namely beserah, bachok has several good ones Melaka too
A lot of older people are prescribed medical Cannabis, and certainly won't be taking their money to countries that throw you in prison for it. Maybe you should explain some of the weird laws in these foreign countries that could trip up a US national when you are vetting these potential new domiciles for us.
@@Gv-in-2-it Malaysia allows medical cannabis, but you must be prescribed it by a qualified doctor and you cannot grow it yourself. You must buy it from a licensed vendor and you must carry the prescription everywhere you go.
Interesting…..I agree with you the 2nd apartment…works (no car 🚗) love that …:I’m planning a trip to SEAsia next year and KL is for sure on the trip …:again thanks for sharing ….:until soon …..Alex 🇬🇷
WOW with these units! I will say that the last unit … in 2018 when we were coming up with a plan for Gerald’s retirement we were looking to continue my career in Los Angeles and he would pivot to writing there …. That price tag is similar to what we were looking at for basic bungalows in that area … again in 2018/2019, it’s gone up since. This is insane
Hi guys, great video, but all three places are waaay too big for our needs! LOL! You've been in KL for quite a while now; have you looked into good banks for ex-pats to use? I'm looking for one with a head office in Singapore. Thanks for your efforts & good luck on the health front! Take care - rick
KL would be my #1 choice to retire, but their visa requirements & levels are a little too rich. Off topic, can I just say how glad I am to see fellow Sony A7IV owner, JP, doing some videography work!
These are high end million dollar ($783,000) condo’s. I would not spend that kind of money in Kuala Lumpur, would like to see homes 1/3 that price in other regions - like Penang region and Georgetown. Appreciate seeing your tour of it, it’s beautiful, but way way out of the reasons financially that I would move to KL in the first place. Nice to see.
1M Ringgit is the magic number for a property investment residency visa so that's most of what you'll see targeting foreigners. At less than that you are more likely to rent and get a different visa
@@michaelevershed288 It is not only for residency. If you step of the plane in KL as a tourist you still have to abide by the price for that particular state - KL 1million, Selangor 2million, Penang 1million... Sarawak (Kuching) 600,000. If you apply for the federal MM2H visa, part of the process is the mandatory property purchase. I agree, you could apply for the digital nomad visa and rent.
Current exchange rate is 1 usd =4.5 ringgit. 1m ringgit = 222,222 usd. I frankly believe most Europeans or Americans can afford it. Just that they prefer to rent.
Permanent residency requirements and meeting the governments authority to allow you to purchase real estate doesn’t sound appealing at all. I’ll take the Philippines instead where we built our custom home. Malaysia is a great country to visit and we do look forward to going back.
I sense something dark in the first house plus Mont Kiara has a reputation for a lot of ghostly stories so much the delivery guys would never go alone at night. They even make TH-cam videos on this sightings. Sri Hartamas is newer and better reps
#1 was too stodgy, too much wood and the staircase would be a problem for elderly or people with mobility issues. #2 was really nice, excellent price point but no balcony or outdoor space (except for the rooftop area). #3 was by far the nicest but of course the most expensive 😅. Still, for that price it was an amazing value. 😊
I liked the price and layout of the 1st building but the furniture was dated. It was the best value for your buck! Suburb living is always less money but you just catch a grab to go to wherever. The embassy apt. Was modern but so expensive and the area looked too quiet and sleepy. 2nd apartment looked crowded and the layout was like a maze. Let us know if you buy and what you buy. Definitely cheaper than what we get in Canada or USA. We are getting ripped off!
Hello JP and Amelia did you guys have to fill out MDAC form before you go to Maysalia? We are traveling in 4/25 and heard that MDAC form has to be filled out before arriving in Maysalia.
It’s too hard to do rentals because the current tenants don’t like to be inconvenienced and have no reason to make the place look nice. And the agent gets little value for his time.
I like KL, but the fact that they require foreigners to spend at least 1,000,000RM/250,000USD when purchasing a property takes them out of the running for me.
Kitchen was fine in the 1st unit. Not my aesthetic taste, but I didn't see anything that wasn't usable and in good condition. Bathrooms must have been awful not to film them. The 2nd unit was nice. I have no interest in spending $250K USD on a condo anywhere. 3rd unit had an interior designer and all furnishings were professionally staged, and none of that is included (not even the kitchen sink, toilet, not the bathroom sink, not the flooring), so it would cost much more than. It's a cement box when you receive it.
@@syeikhamd The government has just announced to start the construction of MRT3 or Circle Line to complete the KL Metro by 2027 and it'll 3 years to be completed, 2030.
“Buying “ immovable assets in countries you don’t have blood citizenship in is risky. What happens if your Visa renewal is declined…??? it happens. The Chinese bought what was originally Freehold property & the Malay Government simply “switched” the Title to leasehold. Keep your Capital in blue chip safe havens & simply rent….it’s cheap & you can simply pack up & walk away & leave no skin in the game.
I love these real estates tours that you guys do. It is so interesting to see what kinds of options there are in these locations. And the cherry on top is that Amelia is always on camera 🤩
If you can live in Florida, Hawaii or the Caribbean, you will be comfortable here. Given time human body will adjust eventually to the surrounding. After all tropical weather can create a very green, relax, easy going life.
That first property is impressive but unfortunately for me, not 250K impressive. I can easily do with less "house" if that gets me down in the 100-150K range.
I think this is for those seeking residence visas through property investment which has a minimum of 1M Ringgit (~225K USD). If you're spending less you're either a local or renting
I apologise, we British have a tendency to over elaborate our 'Britishness' when there's an American in the room. Amongst ourselves we all talk normally. Hugh Grant syndrome is a very real thing.

Typical real estate salesman, overselling. ‘You need to decide fast’. In KL there is no hurry, nothing sells fast here in property land.

Will you be doing rentals as well?
It’s too hard to do rentals because the current tenants don’t like to be inconvenienced and have no reason to make the place look nice. And the agent gets little value for his time.
Malaysia needs to rethink their retirement visas.
It is the government. Not the people. We are open to visitors for long stay.
I like KL, but the fact that they require foreigners to spend at least 1,000,000RM/250,000USD when purchasing a property takes them out of the running for me.

15:43: Oooh. I'd have to spend 250K USD minimum? That effectively prices me out of purchase for retirement. Would have to stick with renting.

You guys could easily branch out into international real estate on TH-cam.
MM2H program became unreasonable and only for rich and wealthy
The 2nd place I would live in the mother in law quarters and rent the main space.
the 1st one the design is really outdated. the 2nd one is awesome.
“Buying “ immovable assets in countries you don’t have blood citizenship in is risky. What happens if your Visa renewal is declined…??? it happens. The Chinese bought what was originally Freehold property & the Malay Government simply “switched” the Title to leasehold. Keep your Capital in blue chip safe havens & simply rent….it’s cheap & you can simply pack up & walk away & leave no skin in the game.
I love these real estates tours that you guys do. It is so interesting to see what kinds of options there are in these locations. And the cherry on top is that Amelia is always on camera 🤩
O.K. you left out some details. ... why are you house hunting in KL. Amelia hate the humidity. Hmmmm?
If you can live in Florida, Hawaii or the Caribbean, you will be comfortable here. Given time human body will adjust eventually to the surrounding. After all tropical weather can create a very green, relax, easy going life.
We’re TH-camrs and our viewers like real estate tours.
That first property is impressive but unfortunately for me, not 250K impressive. I can easily do with less "house" if that gets me down in the 100-150K range.
Foreigners cannot purchase a property in KL for less than 1million MYR - about $275,000.
For USD 100k, u have hundreds of choices.
Well it would seem that JP and Amelia are getting away from their life on a budget brand.
About a 100k too high imo.
u guys already get use with no shoes inside the house, how does that feel guys
Why would anyone want their home to be as dirty as the street?
Mcm mana org putih bole jadi ejen ? Sah ke ?
FYI there are international property companies in malaysia. Eg lend lease. They may work with local property companies.
@@MartinLim-q3z sah la sebab dia kerja denfan property di malaysia...
Is it LGBT friendly in KL?
Also, what does he mean expats "must spend $250k" Like is there a law or is he saying that is the minimum he suggest?
@@iamjoemomma2 A foreigner must spend a minimum of 1 million MYR on property in KL by law. To ensure foreigners do not price locals out of the market.
What no studio? Nothing more affordable?
I think this is for those seeking residence visas through property investment which has a minimum of 1M Ringgit (~225K USD). If you're spending less you're either a local or renting
Too damn hot!
1st one
So difficult to listen to this guy
I apologise, we British have a tendency to over elaborate our 'Britishness' when there's an American in the room. Amongst ourselves we all talk normally. Hugh Grant syndrome is a very real thing.
