Looking for Mont Kiara Apartments?

I believe everyone has their own dream houses. House is the most important shelter for human beings, thus, a comfortable house is essential to happy living. Some people admire those who are living in luxurious, big houses especially those with added unique designs and I’m one of the admirers too.

Residential houses can be part of the investment properties which can bring huge returns to the investors. As you can observe from the market trends, the properties prices are in an increasing trend. If you are rich enough to have a sufficient capital to invest, you might want to consider looking into the property market.

Mont Kiara has been one of the top townships in Kuala Lumpur. It’s a prosperous place full of wealthy people and it is developed exclusively for the well-to-do offering fine living lifestyle of a city folk. It has also occupied 30% of the top 20 listed properties in Propwall. I think one of the reasons that have made this place so famous is due to its strategic locations in the urban area nearby KL city centre. And as more people now are willing to spend more money to indulge in a luxury lifestyle, a high-class township would definitely attract many people.

I’ve been to a very special mall in Mont Kiara before. It’s Publika Mall. So why is it so special? It’s specially designed as an artistic mall with unique designs in the decorations, the public benches and as well as the shop lots. It also caters for those artists to hold their functions there and publish their products. There are many fine dining restaurants in it too.

For parents who want their children to learn western style of education, there are a few international schools located in Mont Kiara. Here, your kids would be able to meet many international students and learn more on the cultural differences between countries.

There are many places in KL where you can invest especially those with high demands and Mont Kiara is one of them. I personally would consider property investment too if I have the capital.

CariBilik - Now Featuring Over 50k Rooms!!!

As a student, I’m sure all of you would experience almost similar difficulties as me when studying abroad or far away from home. One of those obstacles which you might experience is finding a place to stay if you are not staying in hostel. I encountered this problem when I was planning to move out from hostel one year ago. However, I was fortunate at that time because my friends were moving out too. I didn’t even need to search for any rooms because they did all the jobs from searching to inspecting the houses and rooms. I just needed to say, “OK!”

I always love to go for vacation with my friends. The two main problems that we always faced when planning a trip are accommodation and transportation. Usually transportation can be easily settled when one or two of us can drive our cars. Accommodation is a big issue when money is a concern. We cannot stay in luxury, expensive hotel. Hence, we are always looking for a budget inn or a homestay to stay. It’s not an easy job to find although there are many websites offering this service. Sometimes due to limited knowledge about the places that we are going, we need to find a place where it’s the centre of attraction. This can make our travel becomes more convenient.

Recently, I found a website which I think is very useful for me. The link to this website is http://www.caribilik.my/

What I like about it:

1) It offers many rooms for rent with detailed information regarding each room.

2) It also offers short term rentals, which I labelled it as homestay. This means that we can actually find houses or rooms to rent for one or two days if we are planning to do any event or going for a trip anywhere and yet we don’t want to stay in a hotel because we want to spend time together like a family in a comfortable house. I have done this before with my friends when we went for vacation. It really feels nicer compared to staying in a hotel or a budget inn.

3) Each elaboration comes with photos of the rooms or houses with the images of the beds in them.

4) You can search for rooms easily according to the place you want as labelled by them.

5) The rooms are categorized into “most bookings” and “cheapest rental” which make your search easier depending on which type you prefer.

6) There is a map shown for each place that you are looking at to enable you to know the location of the rooms or houses.

7) There is also a calendar showing you the availability of the rooms or houses for rent.

8) You can make instant booking through the website.

9) Besides looking for rooms, you can also post your rental if you have any rooms or houses to be let out.

What I dislike about it:

1) It doesn’t offer an advanced search with detailed specifications like some other websites. Thus, we’ll need to spend longer time to browse through the available rooms or houses before we can get to find a suitable one.

2) It only offers rooms or houses to rent but doesn’t include shops, offices, factories or warehouses which I think is useful for people doing business.

3) Only rentals are available. It doesn’t come with choices of those for sale.

4) The website doesn’t look attractive enough and I think the coverage areas are somehow limited to high traffic places.

Malaysia Real Estate

When you look at the word “property”, what comes to your mind? Money? Investment? Wealth? Real estate? That’s right! You are getting closer to my main focus of this post today. How many of you have ever thought of investing in real estate as a means to get wealthy? Well, I personally have thought of it. But how many who thinks of it really achieve it successfully?

I don’t have much knowledge in investment and also real property. But from a common point of view, the prices of residential houses are increasing over the years. For example, a double-storey terrace house which was acquired a few years ago for about RM125000 can now be sold for about RM250000. Quite a large increase right? After taking the inflation into consideration, it might not be that much but still I think benefit beats the cost.

I’ve looked into some local real estate websites and most of them look the same to me except for the design and some of the features in them. There is this website called PropWall. It looks tidier compared to others which I’ve seen. The information provided by them is arranged in a proper way which makes browsing easier. However, it does not contain as much information as some other property websites which cover more areas inclusive of updated news and events and relevant articles. And because it is tidy, it does not look interesting which makes it unable to capture viewers’ attention for long. The design is quite simple and plain. There isn’t any highlight in it such as special deals or special features which resulted in lack of selling point.

But there is one link in this website which attracted me – Milan Doshi. I think many of you who are not in property investment field might not know who is him. Neither do I, until I saw his link in the website. He is a renowned speaker on investment property who has been coaching on how to get rich from the property and stock markets. At least, I know another great man now.

I believe investment would really be rewarding provided we know the essence of it from top to bottom. Everyone can invest but not all can make a good return from it. After all, it still depends on your knowledge and skills.
