Summary
A good rental income strategy generates positive cash flow.
Does the rental income generate positive cash flow?
The average rental range of a partially furnished 499 sqft studio unit, 751 sqft unit, and a 1197 sqft may not be able to sufficiently cover the monthly instalment. A point to note is that the units were sold with built-in kitchen cabinets with hood and hob provided by the developer. Thus, most of the partially furnished units are referring to this.
On the other hand, the rental income of RM2,200 and RM4,800 earned from a fully-furnished 499 sqft studio unit and 1197 sqft unit will adequately cover the monthly instalment. and has a gross rental yield of 5.0% and 5.1% respectively.
