Own a unit at Ayuman Suites? Run it whole-unit. Three live cards on the 557 sqft plate ask RM1,550-1,650 a month, all fully furnished, against a sale range of RM232,000-360,000 — that is 5.3-8.3% a year gross depending on where in the range you buy, asking over asking, labelled, because no transacted price printed anywhere this sweep. Rooms are measured here and they lose: the one in-building room card asks RM400, so a two-bed split grosses RM800-1,000, under the whole-unit floor. The one open premium is short stay — a building-named Airbnb card runs about RM95-105 a night, implying RM1,710-1,890 a month at an assumed 60% occupancy, above the long-let band if the occupancy holds and if the management allows it. The UIAM corridor fills these units; the zero-deposit route here is empty.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card, tell the tool which plate you hold, then put in your own numbers — the loaded price and rent are the dated reads, nothing stronger exists. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
The rent market is live and honest: three cards on the 557 sqft plate — RM1,550, RM1,599 and RM1,650 a month, all fully furnished, two of them listed the day before this sweep read them. One more card asks RM1,800 for the 657 sqft two-bed, listed back in July and stale. And one RM2,800 card is a shoplot-style let on 1,000 sqft — commercial class, out of the residential math; the portal's own FAQ rent range stretches up to it because the FAQ mixes that card in, which is exactly why the range is carried, not trusted.
The denominator is the same FAQ: asking prices RM232,000-360,000 with 14 units live — about RM417-647 psf on the 557 plate. No transacted row has printed for this building. Worked out, labelled: RM1,600 a month is RM19,200 a year — 8.3% gross on a RM232,000 purchase, 6.5% on the RM296,000 midpoint the calculator loads, 5.3% on a RM360,000 one. Asking over asking, never a market yield.
Rooms are actually measured here, which is rare: one in-building card — "Looking for 2 Housemates (Girls Only)", RM400 a room — plus a 26-card Gombak area feed running RM250-500 typical. The operator co-living bands (RM600-700 small, RM800-900 medium, RM1,000-1,200 master) sit well above what this corridor pays — context, not this building's rates. The arithmetic: the 657 two-bed at RM400-500 a room grosses RM800-1,000; even if the agent "3-bed" label on the 557 plate were real, three rooms at that rate gross RM1,200-1,500. Both sit under the RM1,550-1,650 whole-unit band. Splitting loses.
Short stay is the open premium: Airbnb resolves to a building-named entity — "Ayuman Suites, Gombak-2 bedroom With KL City View" — with a from-price of ₱1,256 a night, about RM95-105. At an assumed 60% occupancy that implies RM1,710-1,890 a month, above the long-let band. Two ifs carry it: unit-level occupancy is unmeasured, and permission is not public. Presence, not permission.
Our own board has zero dedicated Ayuman cards — "29 nearby" is the corridor, not the building. And the corridor sits above it: Vista Wirajaya 884 sqft at RM2,000, Danau Kota Suite 969 sqft at RM2,300, Residensi M Astra at RM2,200, Kenwingston Platz 759 sqft at RM2,500, Upperville 1,050 sqft at RM2,950 — with Wangsa Maju's 530 sqft at RM1,300 the only card below. A well-run Ayuman card prices under all of them; that is the opening, not a discount.
Why whole-unit wins here
Ayuman is Talent Team Sdn Bhd's freehold service residence — one 33-storey tower, 553 units, completed 2018, on Jalan Sentosa 2 in Taman Bukit Lela, Gombak, under MP Gombak, with a full facilities deck: pool, tennis and squash courts, sauna, gym, clubhouse, minimart. The recorded plates are a 557 sqft Type A and a 657 sqft Type B; the live agent cards claim "3-bed" on the 557, which the project record contradicts — trust the record, and the card, only as far as each goes. Two of five live rent cards name UIAM — Kampung Sungai Pusu and Greenwood — because the tenant base is UIAM students and staff. That base rents one compact furnished unit to one household, not a premium room product: the measured room rates (RM400 in-building) say so directly.
Supply is balanced — 5 rent cards against 14 sale units — but thin, and one agent holds two of the three live cards. In a market that thin, the differentiated card wins: furnished, honest photos, zero deposit, viewings that actually happen. The fit-out spend should buy condition and furniture, not partitions or guest equipment — both of those stay locked behind the management letter.
5 checks before you buy
-
Get the real land title document. Freehold and "service residence" both appear in the record — read what your parcel's title actually says, because service residences can sit on commercial-titled land. Done: you hold the title copy.
-
Get the management's rules in writing — multi-tenancy, pets and short-stay in one letter. This letter is the one that decides whether the RM95-105-a-night upside is even legal here. Done: you have the letter.
-
Get the real running costs. The fee is unpublished, and a tower with a pool, tennis and squash courts, sauna and clubhouse does not run on guesses. Done: your statement, not a guess. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
-
Show your renovation plan to MP Gombak before you sign anything. Furniture yes, structure no. Done: the council tells you in writing.
-
Until checks 1 and 2 are done, buy nothing you cannot undo — no guest equipment, no partitions. A reversible SPEEDRENO rental fit-out converts the unit back in a day.
FAQ
Is Ayuman Suites a room-rental investment?
No — and here the room market is measured, not guessed: the one in-building room card asks RM400, and the Gombak area feed runs RM250-500. A two-bed split grosses RM800-1,000, under the RM1,550-1,650 whole-unit band. Sharing opens only with the management's written position, and at these rates it still has to beat the whole-unit rent to be worth the work.
What yield does Ayuman Suites give?
Between 5.3% and 8.3% a year gross — RM1,600 a month over a RM232,000-360,000 asking range, asking over asking, FAQ-grade. No transacted price has printed for this building. Enter your own dated numbers in the calculator above; nothing stronger is honest.
Is short-stay allowed at Ayuman Suites?
One building-named Airbnb listing exists at about RM95-105 a night — demand is proven, permission is not. The management's position is not public, and the courts have confirmed a corporation can prohibit short-term letting outright. The letter decides; never buy guest equipment before it arrives.
Are pets allowed at Ayuman Suites?
The building's written position is not published — no pet field appears on any checked card. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — and pet-friendly setups earn about 15-20% more where they exist. The offer is SPEEDHOME policy; building rules can vary.
What running it looks like
Setup is two documents: the title (which settles what the freehold service-residence plate actually is) and the management's letter (which settles everything else, short stay included). The work is one household in a furnished plate at the measured level — one listing, viewings, a stamped tenancy agreement, then rent day. Zero deposit, professional screening, and SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the rent collection while you approve the tenant before anything is signed. The UIAM corridor renews every semester; the fresh, well-run card is the one that rents first — and if the MC letter ever clears short stay, the nightly price is already printed on that Airbnb card.
