- FAQ
Got Questions About Buying in Johor? Let’s Clear Them Up.
Can foreigners buy property in Johor Bahru?
Yes, foreigners can invest in Malaysian properties — but the minimum purchase price depends on the state.
In Johor, the general rule is RM1 million and above, but there are certain approved projects and zones where the threshold can be lower — sometimes even below RM500,000, depending on your profile and the developer’s quota.
I’ll guide you based on your needs and show you which areas are foreigner-friendly and offer the best value-for-money options right now.
What’s the difference between freehold and leasehold?
Freehold means you own the land indefinitely, while leasehold usually lasts 99 years or less. In JB, many high-demand areas near CIQ and Iskandar Puteri are leasehold — but that doesn’t mean bad investment. I’ll show you which ones still perform well.
How much is the minimum down payment to buy property?
It depends on whether you’re buying a new project or a subsale (second-hand) property, and also on the local regulations.
For subsale units, it’s usually a 2% booking fee first, then the remaining 8% within 30 days after loan approval.
For new projects, developers typically require a 10% down payment, but this can vary depending on the location, project type, and developer offers.
Every case is a little different — connect with me and I’ll help you check the exact breakdown for your preferred area or project.
What documents do I need to prepare?
Just your IC or passport, proof of income (payslips or bank statements), and a letter of employment if applicable. For foreigners, a valid visa/passport copy is required.
Can you help me find rental properties too?
Yes — I help both buyers and tenants. Whether you’re looking for a place near CIQ, EduCity, or Medini, I’ll shortlist options that fit your budget and handle the paperwork with the owner.
Why should I work with a REN agent instead of direct owner or developer?
A registered REN protects you from scams, fake listings, and hidden clauses. I’m licensed under BOVEAP (REN 79740) and operate through ERA Real Estate — so everything is legally covered.
How do I contact you if I’m still exploring?
You can message me directly on WhatsApp for a quick consult — no fees, no pressure. I’ll help you compare projects or units based on your goals.
