since you can set aside 240k for investment, you can well afford NEW landed properties. Once completed, you may flip it and earn even more. Why the bother buying a medium cost apartment and vying for 5% p.a.?? 5% is relatively low, as the interest rates of the country is going up and up. Look at the BLR now it is 6.05%. Coupled with the ever increasing inflation, 5% is not good in my opinion, my as well u dump your cash in FD for its 4% now. Besides, you are buying medium cost, and you won't earn a lot if you were to sell it.
In my opinion, I use the power of leveraging. I buy a landed prop worth RM800k (10% d/payment is only RM80k) 90% bank loan, no interest during construction and no legal fees! Once completed, my property would have gone up to RM900k.
Imagine me paying RM80k for downpayment, and a profit of RM100k once completed. it is 120% profit!
Well, just my 2 cents.
