I wrote about this topic when I first received a quotation from an agent in furnishing the condo. If I'm not mistaken, the quote was RM20,000. This excludes the installation of the grilles. Well, to be honest, they've included air conditioners, TV racks, study tables & 2 tier kitchen cabinet in their quotes so I guess, the difference between their figures and mine were the stuff that I've not included in my unit.

Different owners would have different preference kan, so this is how furnish my unit. If I were to be given this type of accomodation when I was a student back then, I'll be a prime minister by now. Hahahahahahaha.

Later on, I'll be meeting the tenants again for some small briefing on house rules and some other matters. Alhamdulillah, everything now is more settled down and I'm looking for my next investment..

To be frank, the said property means a lot to me & wifey as this was our first ever investment that we bought. Obviously, we'll hope for a good return in the future lah. Heheheheh.....As some always said...you must learn to walk before you can run. So I'm beginning to be a lot wiser in investment properties. Obviously, it was hard initially. It was more difficult when I had no clue in property at all when I first started. But I guess, things happened for a reason eh.....? Pelan2 kayuh maaa.....heheheh

So what's next eh?.

Have a nice day
