A three-bedroom here rents for RM 1,600 a month and is typically taken within 33 days. That means the rent alone covers the entire bank installment, with 21% to spare. You top up RM 457 in cash monthly, but RM 300 of the installment becomes your own equity, so holding this asset really costs you about RM 157 a month.
The median three-bedroom here asks RM 1,600 a month and, at the zone's asking psf, costs about RM 318,250 for 950 sq ft. Financed the way most Malaysian buyers finance, this is the arithmetic:
The equity line is real but locked: it is loan principal your tenant's rent repays, realised only when you sell or refinance, and it assumes the value holds. The cash line is what leaves your bank account now. Both are the truth; neither is the whole truth alone.
Running costs assume RM0.33 psf maintenance, one month's vacancy and one month's agent fee per year, 5% repairs, plus quit rent, assessment and insurance. Full itemisation in the methodology. Rental income is taxable at your marginal rate, so a positive figure here is better than reality.
Days on market is a floor, not an exact figure: the source portal expires listings at about 60 days, so a very slow market and a moderately slow one can look the same. Points of interest below are context only; they do not feed this score.

76 units were advertised on both portals and counted once. Headline figures weight each listing by its portal's reachable inventory, so the median reflects the market rather than how many pages we fetched.
Repost collapsing reduced 297 rental listings to 188. Without it the 3BR median would read RM 1,600 instead of RM 1,600. Treat that spread as the uncertainty band on the rent figures above.
Background only. None of this feeds the demand score.

OpenStreetMap coverage is uneven in Malaysia; malls in particular are often untagged. Raw counts shown so the gaps stay visible.
