Fantastic. Helps me understand the reality of being an overseas landlord, versus the image I’ve built in my mind. Seems easier than expected as long as there’s no mortgage involved.
Wow, congratulations! Buying property unseen, renovating, renting, and selling; all of it accomplished successfully (with sister's little help) at a very long distance away. That's amazing...you were fortunate :)
The reason why i subscribed and watched your video is because you are such an easy going guy. It can be seen from the way you rent out your apartment in the states. All the best in Malaysia Taylor❤
Thanks Andrew for the insight. I will just sell my home here in Phoenix, AZ, and pray I am able to buy a freehold one story bungalow over there after moving to FL for 185 days for residency purposes. I really do not want to live in a high rise in KL if I can avoid it. Maybe you can do a video on finding and buying a freehold bungalow in Malaysia... That would help others, too. Stay well, Andrew!!!
I have a house in South Carolina that I have as a rental, there's a lot of costs associated with renting that people don't fully realize such as; property management fees, insurance, maintenance, renter turnover charges, pest/termite services, state and federal taxes, property taxes 5X higher since it's not my primary residence, HOA fees, and etc. If I were to move overseas, I would sell it and put the money in a high yield savings account, or other investments to generate additional income that doesn't cause such a headache. BTW just spent 2K to have squirrels removed from the attic, it can be a pain in the butt to have rental property when you live out of state, or the country.
It depends on how much that monthly profit is in the end as to whether it's worth it. For us, we net $22k/year. Plus, here in Colorado, our equity is going up up up.
I considered doing that but looked at facts. For each dollar invested in a rental including up keep, expenses, taxes, $10-$20 was made in a defensive portfolio. BRK is a great example. Defense, less volatility and 10-15% on average a year with no tenants, headaches, regulations, huge expense surprises
If your rental is in a bad area and therefore you get bad tenants, I guess so. We're in Colorado and make a ton off our rental. Depends on your situation.
Thank you Taylor, I enjiyed this video and you broke things down into simple easy to understand increments. Glad you have done well and will have more freedom now to enjoy your retirement in Malaysia 😊
I did it with blink camera and rented rooms instead of renting the unit. You can always ask tenants to open the door for inspection, showings etc. Better with building that has HOA tho.
My brother lives in Singapore. I used to help him in the past renting out his condo. But he sold it after 10 years. He sure never pay me anything helping him running around
I would sell my US house too when i move to Malaysia or another country. I wouldn't want to be bothered with being a landlord, having to manage the rental, find and deal with tenants, and do taxes. I would use some of the money to buy a place in the country I'm moving to and make money in stock funds with the rest of the money. There's no hassle or work in stock funds at all. From my investment experience, I'm sure I'll make more money than rent.
Doing the same, but use a letting company to manage the property as i dont want to trouble friends and family to deal with issues relating to rhe property
Yeah, our rental is in the mountains of Colorado and we do really well. I don't know if it would be so good if it was in Florida with "Florida Man" lol.
Andrew, my Malaysian wife and I (British) are finally retiring to Malaysia this September even though we have left it longer than we initially planned. We already have an apartment in Melaka which we bought outright in 2004 for this very purpose. Like yourself we had savings sitting in the bank and decided to buy a long leasehold apartment here in the UK for rental purposes. We have just recently completed on this purchase. Our two teenage grandsons will live in our main home rent free but will be responsible for their own bills. We will have the apartment fully managed for a 8% fee. No one can predict the future, and at the end of the day, I feel the security of knowing one already has a home to return too if things go belly up is a sort mental safety net. The extra income from the rental is a bonus and will allow a few extras in life. Hope to meet up one day.
Years ago I sold my house and went travelling, when I came back house prices had skyrocketed. Always buy and sell in the same market. 20 years later I decided not to sell when I left to retire overseas. I own my property outright. My considerations were that I wanted somewhere in the world where there was a place I could go and live if I wished to, security. Second, it provides me with an income stream. Third, there are capital gains to be made on it. I already owned it so it was only a matter of employing a property manager to look after it. So far they have been great, they find tenants and get the top rent rate for me. As time goes on and I age if I decide to never move back then I will probably sell. By that time I will have more than enough to live comfortably on and will be able to stand the loss of income from the rent. As always, in my opinion, we should be looking at how much time we have left, this is an unknown but if I'm approaching 80 I do know I don't have 30 years left, so do the calculations and make life easy and enjoyable, you've earned it. This is why I'd sell my property if I'm still living overseas.
Saturday morning, first coffee and Andrew’s new video on the iPad, the weekend start!😂 Interesting subject once again, we decided to sell our apartment back in Amsterdam when we moved here as well, not knowing how it would work out in Malaysia, but knowing the family was here in SE Asia anyway, we gave it a shot and apart from my passport, no bonds to The Netherlands anymore. I feel free about it and frankly I wouldn’t want the obligation of taking care of property back in Amsterdam, while living in KL. Thanks again for the video, have a good weekend!
Interesting video. We have the same dilemma. We have a house in Thailand and i am semi retired and will retire fully next year and have a house in the UK. Its going to be a worry keeping it and thus we are starting to get rid of belongings and things we don't need in preparation for selling in the next couple of years. I also have a sister who could manage it but she is getting old and doesn't want to maintain it for us.
You were really lucky with your tenants. I had a house in SF, and when I was posted to Hong Kong for my job, I rented it out, after one year the tenant stopped paying rent. After 3 months I had to initiate eviction proceedings. It was another 9 months before he finally left. So he stayed a whole year for free, and all the rent I collected from the first year went towards legal fees. The laws in San Francisco favor tenants, and tenants know they can live up to a year for free. Tenants even stop paying rent and then demand to be paid to move.
We had tenants on our property for ard 10yrs for really cheap rental n when its time they move we found out all those yrs they did not pay the utilities bills!😂😂😂😂
@@PeterLeo-m6w should get a good Lettings agent. Tenants who r professionals, mature age, taking references; the agent is paid an annual fee. They collect the rent and deals with any thing to do with the property. Landlord should also have a very good Lettings insurance.
Thanks for sharing your process of owning/renting overseas back in the US. Glad it all worked out for you. Yes, maintenance on property can be a lot from afar...it is why I prefer to invest in stocks/bonds. It's just more manageable for my tastes...
It is also my retirement plan in the future. I get my apartment, live in it another couple years there. Once I retire, I rent it out and use the money to stay in Malaysia. It depends on my lifestyle, if I still want to go back and work part time once in a while, I will stay in JB which is near Singapore. If I want a full retirement, I will want to move to other States of Malaysia instead.
Great info. I just figured I'd hire a property management company to rent my house out when I move to Asia but I totally like the idea now of selling and financing it myself. Sounds so worry free. P.S., I've got a feeling that you've got many many happy years left on this planet.
I've been renting out a house in the UK and living in a different country for more than 20 years now. Part of that time was in the US as well. Can relate to the content.
Taylor, Have you ever thought about putting your money in REITS instead? It's similar to owning a property, only that you don't have to deal with all the hassle of owning yourself. I think you'll also get more annual percentage too! Or you can put in Treasury Bonds(5% annual return). Do you think WISE money transfer would be less of a hassle as well?
Thanks, Taylor! I’ve wondered about us renting our house out too but I don’t know that ours would be good for a rental. We also have 2 small dogs. If we went somewhere else, we’d need a big backyard like what we have now. We may just have to wait a few years.
Thanks for the video Taylor -- my ONLY concern would be the way you're holding the mortgage and having the payments come to you instead of taking it in a lump sum is that you may be inclined to spend above your means and when the payments stop, that income will be lost and with inflation down the line in Malaysia - SS may not cover everything. This is just friendly advice - I hope you set aside some of the money in possibly a high-yield savings account. I know this is none of my business - just giving some possibly helpful advice. Again - love your channel and looking forward to more videos.
Very smart!!! Collecting all that interest by acting as the mortgage company is equivalent to a second income stream. AND if at any time the buyers stop paying, you get the property back and start all over again. Just remember to always consider the worst case scenario... WHAT IF?????
Oh I want to finance them myself when I sell - but with the potential of CBDC's and country debt loads worldwide, I don't know what currency will look like in the future. Thanks for the wonderful vid - I am discouraged about my one rental which has incurred close to 30,000 in debt in a year and a half!
if you owned no real estate, but wanted to buy some, would you buy something local or something 12,000 miles away? when zed knows you're 12,000 miles away, zed will be changing his harley's motor oil on your living room carpet. everything works out fine, until it doesn't.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with your US apartment. I am still thinking about if i want to own a second home while i live in Malaysia. It seems the costs of a second base might not be worth it. Like you, my thought is to come back every so often to visit family and friends but with the rising costs of home ownership and taxes, it might not be worth the effort. Like most retirees, i have also been eyeballing Florida but the condo prices have gone up as well as the HOA fees and insurance.
Amazing video , I wanted to ask you why you didnt buy a property in KL as an investment. I also want to investment in Real Estate and I can't decide between Malaysia or USA. Best wishes
I agree about not investing as you are older. I think that the way you are selling it is probably the best way to do it if you tend to spend your money easily. A monthly income with no headaches is better than renting it out and having to deal with all the things you mentioned!!! did you use any type of title company or document service to make that mortgage official? I have never done that so I am very interested.
@@andrewtaylor4558When you were renting your apartment, did you file the taxes yourself or you had a lawyer do it for you? How do you send your tax papers from KL if you did it yourself?
Hey Taylor, great video! I was wondering why didn’t you just leave the A/C on at 75/76 so no Mold would have built up even though you would have had a electric bill each month but would have been cheaper than the $30k on mold,etc
Curious about you mortgage for the couple on the your sales: it is done thru a personal contract and what if there is a dispute later during the later instalment payment ?
Biggest problem now is they are expecting people to have a retirement income of $9,000 a month that’s 108,000 retirement yearly it’s a high bar I’m pretty well off but to get my assets to generate $9,000 a month without working is going to be a challenge.
Solution. Check out Sabah and Sarawak visa requirements. You will find their income requirements are much lower than in mainland Malaysia. If you manage to obtain a visa for either of these two states that retirement visa will allow full access to mainland Malaysia as well.
Rentals are low for an average property. Rentals are higher for the expensive properties but it is also very expensive to buy the rental in the first place.
As long as it makes you feel comfortable, you are free to live anywhere you wish. Whichever country you chose, the truth remains that God owns the universe; your home countries are merely the makers of the laws that govern it. But once you live in your own home, you live in your own universe and follow your own rules. As a result, you should make the most of it and live outside of your house worry-free. We appreciate you making Malaysia your home. Since your residence is not too far from mine, I hope to run into you one day.
Weird take. It's his property in which he's invested his hard earned money. Renting it out is providing a service. No different than selling someone a hotel room.
Every business you can think of "leeches" off a customer. It is called business and businesses are in business to make a profit. Landlords are no different.
@@sichuan385 you mean you got blasted by communists. Ask them if you can use their car or stay with them for a couple of weeks without having to pay rent.
Hey Taylor! Recently subscribed 2 ur channel. Have learned quite a bit. Retired and looking to leave NYC behind. Would like 2 know if there's a way 2 contact u (email?) as I would love 2 chk out KL. Thank you for the great info.
Glad that you are feeling comfortable enough to say Malaysia is your home. Appreciate the vlog. Best wishes to you and to Earl Grey.
Thank you! 😃
Don't die next week. We need more contents from you 🥰
Ok 😂
That was a very smart move to replace the pipes.
You've made some good decisions and are reaping the benefit. Very happy that you will still have a nice income stream!
Good hearted person will always be bless
Taylor, please continue to keep it real. Talk about life and survival skills.
Seems like a win-win. Landlord turned mortgage financier. Pretty impressive

Can you please do a video on how an overseas persopn can buy a property in Malaysia for retirement. God Bless
Anyone can buy property in Malaysia. The problem is getting a long term visa.
Better to rent in my view unless you want to live in the same area on retirement. By renting it is easier to move location.
Stocks are scam. Wise decision real estate always a safe investment if you don't buy overpriced.
I’d think that all your expenses are tax deductible if you’re required to declare the income.

Should be changing soon.
