Malaysian real propeties in Penang are not cheap. Rather, It is simialr to my hometwon "Daegu". = Real estate in Penang, Malaysia, is not cheap. It costs about the same as in my hometown of Daegu.
So I gave up buying house. Just trying to get a month rent. I reserched a Korean blog in Malaysian life. That blogger introdued the site "www.iproperty.com.my". It is prpperties reserch site. = So, I stopped looking to buy a house and decided to rent monthly instead. I read a Korean blog about life in Malaysia that recommended 'www.iproperty.com.my,' a property search website.
When you reserch area, kinds of house, room, rent pay, you can choose options. If I chose one option, I would contact to the agency that it posted or opposite. = You can filter by location, house type, room count, and rental price. When you find a place, you contact the agent listed on the post.
The agencies are most Chinese-Malaysian. They ususally, asked about nationality, memvers of family, how long staying here. = Most agents are Chinese-Malaysian, and they usually ask about your nationality, family members, and how long you plan to stay.
And I understand that the real estate agency fee is about one month's rent. They try to select better tenants as possilbe as. I think it is similar to Korea. In America, landlords require how much income of tenants. I heard that from my American friend. = The agency fee is about one month's rent. They try to find the best tenants possible, which is similar to Korea. My American friend told me landlords in the US also check your income.
Anyway, My plan is to be a resident employee in Maylasia. Next year, I will apply for this positon. If I pass the exam, most Korean companies provieds the staff condo that Korean calls apartment. = My goal is to get a job as an expat employee in Malaysia and apply next year. If I pass, most Korean companies will provide a condo for staff. In Korea, we call it an apartment.
If not, I have to reserch as blogger. I like pool, gym and comfortable facilities or someting. But I make it priority to reserch the distance from workplace to go work. = If I don't pass, I will search for a rental myself using the website. I want a place with a pool, gym, and good amenities, but my main priority is a short commute.
If I have no kids, I don't need to take care of school. Just my workplace. Malaysian drivers, traffic lights are faster a lot than Korean. = Since I have no children, I only need to think about distance to my workplace. Malaysian drivers go very fast, and traffic signals change quickly compared to Korea.
They are not taking care of pedestrian on the street, crosswalk. And further, there are wild dog groups on the street at night. I try to take a company car. = Drivers often don't stop for pedestrians at crosswalks, and there are stray dogs on the streets at night. Therefore, I want to drive a company car.
NOTE: Your thorough research into rental websites, agent expectations, and local road conditions shows great practical foresight for planning a smooth transition to living and working in Penang. ^^ |
