Realizing Your Dream - Part 1
by IPP Feldman Kuah
Imagine yourself coming back from work to your family after a tired and stressful day. You open the door to your house to be greeted by your lovely spouse and your children. You settle down for nice home-cooked dinner and after that have a refreshing bath after that. Then you head towards the living room to spend the rest of your night reading papers, watching some movies or simply just playing with your kids. When its time, you head back to your cozy room for your well deserved sleep. I am sure everyone is looking forward to a time when you can put yourself in a scenario like that.
As of now, only CP Toh, Eng Tee & I are the only married couples in the club. I am sure most of you have been thinking of settling down sooner or later. Let me share with you one important thing in life that you will be facing sooner or later. No, not how to settle down and make a family, that aspect I leave it to you. I will go through with you realizing your dream to buy a house.
Factors
Diana and I have been house hunting for sometime, specifically linked houses and condominiums. Firstly, we have to decide which area we would want to buy. Mind you, different locations are of different pricing. A place in Klang would be cheaper than a place in PJ, not to mention KL. These factors may be influenced by the location of your workplace, your budget, convenience and many more. Since Diana is working in KL and I am working in PJ, we decided to find a place in PJ.
Our decision is influenced by the convenience of getting around, the type of environment and the $ factor. Since PJ is located in between Klang and KL, we figured out it would be easier to get around. The the decision is between if you should get a landed property or a condo. Bear in mind for landed properties in PJ, you can only find old houses aging more than 10 years if you’re looking for RM400K and below. Some cheaper new ones you can find are in Puchong. And it is up to your preference, but when Diana was renting an apartment, we loved the choice of indulging ourselves with the facilities downstairs where your children can play and run around without having to drive out. These, of course, are in the expense of the monthly maintenance fees. Lastly, the $ factor. We can only manage a place around RM300K. Anything more we'll have to starve ourselves before that.
Showhouses
Have you ever walked in to any showrooms and thought how nice it would be if my house is this nice? Bear in mind the showrooms are fitted with one of the best interior design they can think of and all the furniture which can win your heart. Take a look at these pictures, aren’t they dazzling?
