Hello, first time house buyer here. Need advise on whether i should buy this apartment.
I plan to get an apartment around Kajang area about RM400k+- for 1000sq with 3bedroom.
Im interested in the area because its next to the MRT/KTM station and also a Government school. Currently im working in Ampang while my wife works at Nilai so Kajang seemed like a nice middle spot for both of us. Also both our family lives around Bangi which is also a plus.
However, after discussing with my peers and family they mention that 1000sq is abit too small for a family of 4 with my kids being 5 and 2 y/o currently. Thus my first delimma is whether is this even a good option to consider as a first living house.
Since this is a financial group i'll add that i plan to stay around 8+- years at this apartment until the kids go to secondary school and hopefully they get into a boarding school to which im free to find another place to stay if needed.
So my second dilemma is, if 1000sq is livable for 4 people, for such a long stay would it be better for me to just rent a unit there if so or continue my plan to buy a unit there? I know its a renter market but staying for 8+- years is pretty long time to rent and i think im having FOMO that i feel that this place will increase in value after few years due to the strategic location.
My last dilemma is if the apartment is no good, with a current salary of 8k (excluding wife) would it just be better to buy a subsale landed house around (around Bangi and hopefully near a school) or just rent it for the next 8+- years.
Sorry for the long post.. Ive been living with my wife parents for long enough (about 5+ years) and feel like its time to move out (as i seldom get into disagreement with them due to different lifestyle approaches that its become mentally tiring) but im having so many dilemma on how to proceed. Any advise is appreciated. Thank you
