I Sold 3 Properties in 2 years!


Yes, after many years buying properties, finally I managed to sell my properties.
The first property I sold was in Penang Island, I bought in 2008 with RM340K and sold it at RM520K after 2 years 9 month. During the 2 years+ period, I stayed in that apartment and renting out one small room at RM500 per month for 1 and half year. I think it is not a bad investment considering a profit of almost 50% in 2 years ( 25% per annum)

Property Investment is always the best!
The second property I sold was a shopoffice at Seberang Perai, I would say it is a so-so investment. I bought at RM220K in 2005 and sold it at RM290K in 2011. However, it was always a cash flow for 6 years meaning my installments were always paid by tenants since Day 1 of the purchase.(5.16% per annum)

My third property that I sold was a terrace house in Simpang Ampat, I bought in 2001 with RM170K and I sold it at RM290K in 2013. However, I had been getting rental income around RM1000 to RM1100 per month for almost 5 years since I moved out that house in 2008. That translates to a profit of about ( RM290K-170K+ RM1000x12x5) RM180K, a return of 105% in 12 years ( 8.75% per annum).

My examples clearly show you that it seems that Penang Island property do much better that Mainland properties. I think one thing is for sure, it is certainly better investing in properties than keeping you money in FD or under your pillow.!

Investment in Property- An investment in property forms a part of the financial target for almost every Indian family. While the timing can be different, the planning for property investment is an integral part of every person, largely due to the value attached to it. An investment in real estate has once again begun to turn priority for lots due to the slight fall in property prices in recent times. In addition, the salaried professional is beginning to feel comfortable with long-term commitment as the risk of job loss has become a thing of the past. As a result, numerous are beginning to look at property as an investment option once again.
