Leasehold property @ Sunway PJS9, worth buying ?

hi guys, just wondering, is leasehold property in sunway PJS9 worth buying for investment ? if not mistaken the ownership should only last for 70 years or even shorter, the price i surveyed from mudah is around rm680 to rm750 for intermediate unit.

the plan is to get one unit and turn it into 8 bedrooms and rent out for students from monash, sunway, taylors and One Academy. I was a monash student and have quite a lot of frens still staying at PJS 9, paying at least rm400plus for a not-so-good condition room. I can see that the occupancy rate is quite high as sunway and monash hostels are really expensive (over rm1k for a room at monash newly built condo) and the popularity is getting higher n higher.

so is this investment worth going for ?

cheers

Need Help, which general insurance company ?

hi guys, i just graduated as a mechanical engineer not long ago and would like to take insurance as my part time job. I haven started looking for a full time job but so far the intention is to get a sales engineer job where i may have more flexible time (best case scenario) compared to other lines such as technical/support engineer, banking and so on.

I have started doing my research on lowyat regarding the brand preference for their car insurance, i found out that more ppl are more interested with companies like MSIG and Tokio Marine. So i personally think that i would generate more sales if i am to sign under one of them as their general insurance agent. On the other hand, my uncle is currently working with Allianz and he would definitely help me a lot if im working under Allianz as well especially when i need someone to collect documents on behalf of me if i do not have the time to collect myself when i have my full time job to cope with (they only allow agents to collect on weekdays and during working hours).

So the problem is, should i take the risk to sign for MSIG or Tokio Marine and learn from zero without any help and without knowing if i have the time to collect documents myself since i do not have a full time job yet, OR to work with my uncle which most likely would not generate as much sales as i would if my company is either MSIG or Tokio Marine ?

any relevant info and help from general insurance agents would be deeply appreciated.

how long does it usually take for them to finish all the inspection ?

any relevant info is greatly appreciated. thanks

the inspection will be done so that the name can be transferred. according to the list in the website above, so the car inspection would fall under 'Transfer of Ownership Inspection' this category ? 60 minutes can finish, how true is tat ?
