The sale price of a 1,463 sq ft unit listed on PropertyGuru in January 2021 is from RM650,000 to RM678,000. On the other hand, rent is about RM2,800 per month.
So, if you purchase a unit priced at RM650,000, and rent it out at RM2,800 per month, the gross rental yield would be 5.17% per annum.

Cheras is one of the oldest residential areas in the Klang Valley, and it is saturated with homes. Developments have moved southwards towards Balakong in Selangor, and new developments there are being marketed as Cheras Selatan or Cheras South. With rising property prices and land scarcity in Kuala Lumpur, more people are naturally driven to Cheras South and Kajang.
