My ex colleague bought one such landed semi D about 15 years ago for around 330k ringitt. He was intending it to be his holiday home cum workshop, while waiting for the price to appreciate and sell at a profit later. Or so he thought. Bit by bit, what was at first a spick and span abode slowly but surely fell into a state of disrepair. He was so proud he chose a gated estate, but when I drove inside, I just waved and the security guard just waved me through without any checking. And the barrier was always up

Some years back, disillusioned, he finally sold at a loss for around 270k ringitt. The loss was even more due to the depreciation of the ringitt all these years.

So don't think cheap is good. It can always become cheaper due to the estate falling into disrepair and currency devaluation.
