Sublet Room To Female Malaysian Student - Worth It ?

For $700 for 2 years lease - worth it ?

What are your experiences with renting to students ? Can they paid up even though parents sent money to them ?

Student is doing JC study

I worry if student cannot paid up, i'll have to remove them - which we Chinese do not want to do that.

Grab first.

With interest rate < 0.5%, the 'future value' of money is negligible.

Commercial world - no free lunch, unless you are kind enough for 'negotiation' which not stated earlier on due to some changes. I'm always ready for this.

Rented my FH to a couple for monthly $3150 for 2 yrs. Only 34yo and 33yo. The 34yo is MD, the 33yo is a FX trader.

I grab first. Let money brings the 'honey and milk'.

To add. One must have concept of 'cashflow'. In or out.

For inflows, let then in asap. Delay outflow as late as you can, if possible and allowed, no 'out'.

Stream of in and out cashflow at times are unpredictable.

Do a proper screening helps reduce the risk. I do that.

Proper screening ? I wanted to ask student's current landlord on the assessment of her, but they refused to tell me. Furthermore they raise further what i want ... i faint man !

Old dog cannot teach new tricks, and new dog cannot teach old tricks. Deal with 'comfortable index'.

Know their job/school, ICs/passports, age, nationality are basic.

See their faces, talk to them.

Ask why the rent (screen and take in 20% can liao)

Payment methods.....

I siam the black, no racist, just not comfortable.

I avoid 2 type of tenant - Indian and PRC.

Has bad experience on them.

Don't want to taste again.

The thing , are you comfortable with the student after talking to her.

Furthermore they raise further what i want ... i faint man !

U mean after you tried to assess her current LL, they increase the rental price?

Want to rent, must sure you are comfortable especially the tenant is staying with u.

Went back home (India) for 2-3 wk, never lock the main gate, left the main gate wide open

Alot of visitor who stay for wks and we are not informed.

When we took back the house, those pillion, mattress has a brown stain and funny smell. We thrown everything away

They burn/pray their god in the bedroom, wall brown brown.

kitchen.. no need to say.. a layer of oil

Next PRC - rent to 2 couple - husband and wife both work as Engineer

never do housekeeping

never mop or sweep the floor

That's why they wear slipper in the unit.

toilet use until has a layer of yellow/brown stain.

broke the furniture and put it back in place and put one side. the furniture fall apart when we want to move it aside to do cleaning

fish bone found at the space inbetween the window frame, dinning table and the table glass top , the side on the dinning table, under the dinning table.

living hall ceiling light break down,

always late in rental payment, need to call and ask.

First PRC couple return to China w/o informing us and want us to return their deposit. We reject.

more and more

SO>>>

Indian and PRC.. OUT OF BOUND.

can someone tell me renting out to Indonesia Chinese or fillipinos (both female individually) ?

Indo Chinese generally are more well behaved compare to Malaysian Chinese. Pinoy are too cunning to handle. Too many tricks.
