Some suggested that buying property in Kuala Lumpur could be a better choice.
A man’s social media post sparked a discussion among Singaporeans about the pros and cons of buying property in Johor Bahru .
He mentioned that he would like to buy a landed property or a house in a gated community in JB that he can visit on weekends, and not for investment purposes, as long as the price does not exceed RM1,000,000. He also shared that he does not have a car in Singapore but lives near the Woodland Checkpoint. “Any suggestions on areas to buy would be greatly appreciated,” he said.
One commenter said, “Yeah, sounds fun at first. But after a few times you’d probably feel sian and go less often. Which means more cleaning needed too every time you go.”“Are you willing to spend 3-4 hours travelling to and fro every weekend? AirBNB is a way better option, at least you get to choose the location, no maintenance and not worrying aboutMany users also pointed out that buying property in JB could be a risky investment. One commenter remarked, “You’ll lose money.
A commenter who inherited a landed property in JB warned others of the downsides of making a similar purchase, despite her luck in inheriting the property. “Don’t do it unless you’re gonna rent it out. The overall cost of owning a landed property is not cheap. Mortgage aside, you will have to pay a monthly fee to the developer for maintaining the roads within, salary of the guards, and so on,” she wrote.
