Hi all,
Just wanted to ask on a couple of queries.
To provide details towards my financial background:

I am currently 28 years old, working with a monthly salary of RM6,000.00.
I have a car loan of RM675 per month.
Other monthly expenses such as own insurance, utilities (telco, maxis fibre, TNB, etc) will be around RM600.

I have placed my funds/assets into several areas:
1. TD with banks (30k)
2. Stashaway (30k)
3. savings account which works like a flexible TD (10k)

After watching Sean (iHerng)'s podcast and videos on property, I have decided to start my journey on property investment.
And knowing that my CTOS report is above 750 (after self-check).
I am confident that I would be able to obtain a decent amount of housing loan (but unsure on the exact amount).

And I am deciding to make my first property an investment property, with price range of max RM300,000.00; and in Klang Valley area.
I am also planning to engage with The Makeover Guys in attempting to furnish the property in hopes of high rental returns.
I am also planning to reach out to property specialist (FAR Capital) to find which property actually suits me for my first investment property.

Hence, my question are:
1. Is this thought too unrealistic, or is there any adjustments needed. (i.e. Do I need more savings in place of emergency funds, or is 300k property out of my reach).
2. Am I potentially over-gearing myself (the costs involved in The Makeover Guys / FAR Capital / etc); and if so, what would be the necessary steps required to rectify this.

Hoping to seek your responses on this.
Apologies on the long context.

Regards
Ken.
