The More We Spend The Higher Rate of Return On Investment Needed [ September 2nd, 2010 ] | 90 views | Leave a Comment

I believe that those who are ‘thrify‘ will grow wealthy, and those who are ‘spendthrifts‘ will become poor. During my school time, i already have a game of adhering to my budget in which saving 50 cents out of my pocket money. As i known, the discipline of being able to control our spending and save consistently would make us success in the later stage.

For those who are from top management level who earn more than RM10k per month does not necessary that they can live wealthy. Let’s take an example, the managing director of a multinational corporation, who was earning RM120k per year. Given his hefty income, we expected him to have great substancial amount of money over the years, right? However, sometimes we may found that quite a great number of them whose total assets actually is less than RM500k while the net worth is less than RM200k. Plus, more than 70% of his net worth was from EPF savings.

Earlier Retirement via Property Investment

Many of my friends who did not have higher education are all to be more adventurous and grab any golden opportunity to earn a higher income in a strong currency. Most of them went to working oversea as they think that the amount that earns working overseas in 1 year is almost equivalent to at least 3-5 years of working in Malaysia.

I hope one day I managed to accumulate extra income over RM10k per month to allow me to retire comfortably. I have promised myself that my goal is to retire debt free, which is before the age of 65. But now, I have changed my mind and set higher target, which must achieve it within the next 10 years by just property investment.

Based on my understanding, if buying a house now, then for sure the price will go up. But, will you really earn? You need to know that some of the money have to be paid to bank interest first and also you might spend some money to renovate your house and other expenses like maintenance fees for the house.

How to Calculate Return On Investment for Property Rental?

Property Type: Apartment
Size: 650 square feet
Housing Price: RM 75,000
Down Payment: RM 7,500

Housing Loan Amount: RM 67,500
Loan Interest Rate: 5% (assumption)
Loan Tenure: 15 years (assumption)
Housing Loan Installment: RM 534 per month
Gross Rental: RM 600 per month

Other Expenses: Maintenance fees and renovation cost

Monthly Net Rental = Gross Rental - Loan Installment
= RM 600 - RM 534
= RM 66

Buying And Selling Property Procedures

After considering several places and you have decided to buy a house and the price is agreed by both parties, you will need to pay some earnest deposit (min 2%) for booking purpose. My advice, don’t pay the 10% straight, just in case you changed your mind later.

After paying the earnest deposit, you will need to appoint your lawyer for the Sales & Purchase Agreement. It may take up to 2 weeks to prepare. Once the SPA is ready, you will need to make the balance 8% of the purchase price upon signing of SPA. (Assume your applied loan is 90%)

Besides, you must prepare some funds to pay the legal fees for S&P(Travelling, Stamping, Photocopying, Miscelllanous fees), which are relied on the purchase price of your property. Basically you should be able to estimate your lawyer fees based on the following:
