Everyone’s suddenly talking about cemeteries - if you know, you know (looking at you, Penang! 💀)

Yes, Trellis Residence JB has one nearby.

For tenants, it actually comes with a few practical upsides:
- Quiet surroundings
- Easier parking, less congestion
- No future development blocking your view

But for landlords, that’s not what determines your returns.

Right now, the real difference is condition.

Keys have just been handed over.

And two groups are forming:
Some owners are already renovating.
Some are planning to “wait and see.”

Here’s what happens next:
Your tenant will view multiple units in the same block.
The renovated unit gets picked first - almost every time.
The rest compete by lowering rent.

That gap can easily be RM500–RM1,000/month.

And once your unit is positioned as the cheaper option, it’s very difficult to move it back up.

With RTS Link coming, more Singapore tenants are entering JB.
They expect move-in ready units, and they’re willing to pay more for it.

This creates a short window right after key collection.
Miss it, and you’re competing on price instead of quality.

DM us "TRELLIS" to find out how we can help get your unit rental-ready and what to prioritise (and what to avoid).

Yesterday we told you why most people buy the wrong products.

Today we show you exactly what to do.

This is the exact SOP we use to fix and repaint walls - whether your wall is brand new, peeling badly, or just needs a quick touch-up before guests arrive.

Exact steps. No guesswork. No wasted money.

Swipe through Part 2 to learn:
✅ The exact prep-to-paint sequence (most people skip 3 of these steps)
✅ Putty vs Joint Compound vs Dr. Wall - which one your wall actually needs
✅ 3 real scenarios with real products so you know exactly what to buy

Hard truth: A RM50 sealer and proper prep will outlast a RM300 premium paint on a dirty wall.

Save this. Share it with someone painting their house before Raya.

(Missed Part 1? Go back to our previous post - it covers everything you need to know before buying a single tin of paint).

Swipe through first. Then read.

"The renovation sounds good… but RM50K upfront is a big hit. When will I ever get that money back?"

That's actually the right question. Most people never ask it clearly enough. So let's answer it properly.

If your unit has been sitting empty, here's what that silence is actually costing you. At the market rate, your unit could be fetching RM3,500–RM5,000 a month.

12 months empty = up to RM60,000 in rental income that never came in.

Your mortgage, maintenance, and holding fees? Still running. Easily RM2,500–RM4,500 a month out of pocket.

12 months of that = another RM30,000–RM54,000 gone.

You are bleeding out. Silently. But you can see it every single month, leaving your bank account.

No renovation. No return. No tenant. Just time passing and money going out.

Here's the real picture: The RM50K isn't the risk you're deciding on. You're already spending it. It just hasn't bought you anything yet.

Now let's run the other side of the math. Unit renovated. Rented at RM3,500/month (conservative). That's RM42,000/year in rental income. Renovation fully recovered in under 15 months.

From Month 16 onwards, every ringgit is yours. For as long as you own that unit.
So the real question isn't "will I recover the RM50K." It's: "How much longer can I afford to keep not recovering it?"

"But I still have to pay my mortgage…”

Correct. You have to pay that mortgage whether the unit is empty or full, tenanted or vacant. The bank doesn't care.

The only question is: Do you want to pay 100% of it yourself, or do you want a tenant to pay 80% of it for you? The RM50k is what buys you that 80% subsidy.

The demand is there. The tenants are there. The only thing standing between you and rental income is a unit that isn't ready for them.

That's exactly what we fix.
