Own a unit at Alanis Residence (or buying one)? This is the rare building where you can buy and rent in the same market: 31 live rentals against 30 live sales — a balanced 1:1 market. Rent the three-bed whole at RM1,400-1,600 a month on an RM280,000-385,000 ask, about 6.4% a year at the workhorse numbers — and short-stay is the proven second channel here, with five Alanis airport-transit suites already running. Here are the three ways to run your unit.

What can you earn?
The three-bed is the workhorse: fresh listings ask RM1,400-1,600 (800-900 sqft), with the full band running RM1,400-2,500 and one ground-floor fully-furnished unit asking RM2,500. Studios and 1-beds (250-608 sqft) ask RM650-1,350; a two-bed listing sits at RM2,000.
Worked out: RM1,500 x 12 = RM18,000 divided by RM280,000 = 6.4% a year (asking prices, 10 Oct 2026). Studios give about 4-5% at the RM650-900 rents over the RM199,000-249,000 asks.
The honest catches: every sale figure here is an asking price — transacted prices are not published anywhere we can read — and running costs are not published either, so your net is lower than the gross until your own statement gives you the real costs. The calculator leaves both editable on purpose.
Based on comparing current listings: "RM 1,500 per month — Alanis Residence @ Kota Warisan, Sepang — 3 | 2 | 800 sq.ft — Listed 1 day ago"; "RM 650 per month — Alanis Residence 1 bedroom Kota Warisan Sepang — 452 sq.ft — Listed 2 days ago"; on the sale side, "RM 280,000 — 3R2B ... 1,000 sq.ft — Listed 13 days ago".
SPEEDHOME is already in this building: our own co-living room at Alanis rents at RM500 (medium private room, move-in now). The demand is the story — KLIA and KLIA 12 km away, Xiamen University Malaysia and eight more campuses, and the MRT at Salak Tinggi.
Completed in 2022, the building needs no renovation. A furniture-only SPEEDRENO rental fit-out (the RM15,000 lean plan rather than the RM30,000 premium rebuild) is all a unit needs to show well against 30 other live rentals.
Why the 1:1 market is the whole verdict
Thirty-one rentals versus thirty sales is the shape nobody advertises. Sellers are yield-buyers here — live sale listings literally advertise "Investment" and "Rent 2000" — so your resale exit has a natural buyer pool: the next investor doing this same math.
Rooms are a wash. Our own room at the building rents RM500; area private-bath rooms reach RM730-830; split a three-bed at those rates and you gross roughly what the whole unit already asks — for three contracts and real fit-out cost. The 452 sqft studio cannot split at all.
Short-stay is the proven alternative: five short-stay listings carry the building's name ("Alanis Suite KLIA Studio" and similar), all selling the 12 km KLIA transit position. The area's nightly asks run RM87-309 (converted from listed SGD prices, area-level), which implies about RM1,566-5,562 a month at an assumed 60% occupancy — airport-transit demand is flight-driven, so treat that occupancy as the assumption it is. The model exists here; the management's written permission still comes first.
5 checks before you buy
-
Get the real land title document — not the agent's ad. The live record says freehold; your own copy settles tenure and what you may legally do with the unit. Done: you hold the title copy.
-
Get the management's rules in writing — short-stay, room rental, pets. One letter answers all three. Done: you have the letter.
-
Get the real running costs — management fee, sinking fund, quit rent. None are published, so ask. Done: a number on paper. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
-
Show your renovation plan to MPSepang before you sign anything. Sepang's council has its own rules on alterations. Done: the council tells you in writing.
-
Until checks 1 and 2 are done, buy nothing you cannot undo. For Alanis: furniture yes, walls no — a reversible SPEEDRENO rental fit-out converts the unit back to normal in a day.
FAQ
Can you rent rooms at Alanis Residence?
A room already rents there — ours, at RM500 for a medium private room. Area private-bath rooms reach RM730-830, and only the 807-926 sqft three-beds have bedrooms to let; at those rates the split roughly matches the RM1,400-1,600 whole-unit let. The management's written yes comes first — see the room rental and co-living guide.
What yield does Alanis Residence give?
About 6.4% a year before costs on the workhorse numbers: RM1,500 rent over an RM280,000 ask. Studios make about 4-5%. Transacted prices are not published, so every figure is an asking price — your real return is lower after running costs.
Is short-stay allowed at Alanis Residence?
The model is proven — five Alanis suites already market 12 km KLIA transit stays at area nightly asks of RM87-309. Whether your unit can join them is the management's written call; the courts have confirmed it is their decision. Get the letter before you buy locks or linen.
Are pets allowed at Alanis Residence?
The building's rules are not public. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly, and pet-friendly rooms earn about 15-20% more. The offer is SPEEDHOME policy; building rules can vary.
What running it looks like
Setup is the two documents: title, house rules. Then the work is one tenant whole-unit — one listing, a handful of viewings, a stamped tenancy agreement, then rent day. The tenant pool writes itself: airport crew and transit passengers, Xiamen University staff and students, MRT commuters priced out of KL. Rooms multiply the cycle; short-stay multiplies it nightly and stays gated until the letter is in your hand. With 30 live rentals competing, the unit priced sharp and shown well rents first.
