New Condo

Last Saturday after servicing my car, I went to the site where I bought my condo. It's located in Dutamas and is supposedly an entry level condo, nothing fancy as I reckon this being my first property I was practically a newbie when it comes to property investing. Actually I am still but all these while loitering in the Real Estate forum, I reckon I picked up some pointers here and there, especially from my girlfriend, Jagsy, she's a real big timer as compared to me, but that is a completely different story.

Anyway I visited the place and in my untrained eyes, I reckon it was passable, not that good, but passable. Workmanship is not as atrocious as one of the other condos around my place, but all in all it could be better.

I went inside the unit, and I was checking out the workmanship as the handing over of the property would be delayed until the beginning of next year. This is the state of legislature in Malaysia whereby developers are always taking purchasers for a ride, anyway nothing much I can do, as what they promised by handing over the unit by end of this year is just that, lip service.

One thing though, the unit looks and appears smaller as compared to the show room which is blatant misrepresentation, again difficult to contest as the developers have demolished the show unit, no doubt to prevent comparison with the actual unit.

One pleasant thing from this is that I reckon being the first ever property I bought, at least it didn't turn out as bad as I had envisioned it to be. Lets just hope that things will work out fine and I wont lose money in this venture.

And now to the second and third property that I bought.....Cheers!
