Own a unit at M Oscar (or considering one)? Buy at the entry ask, rent it whole. Asks start at RM376,000 and building rents run RM1,400-2,100 a month — about 4.5-6.7% a year before costs at the entry ask, and only about 3.3% if you pay the RM769,000 ceiling. Whole-unit is the play: there is no short-stay market here at all, and the resale record is honestly unsettled, so plan on the rent, not on selling.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card, tell the tool which unit you own, then put in your own numbers. The answer updates as you type, and the charts show the trade-offs.

What can you earn?
The measured rent band is RM1,400-2,100: the project record floors at "Rental price starting from RM 1,399", and the live building listing reads "M Oscar untuk Untuk Disewa - RM 2100 /bulan" (Sep 2026). Asks start at RM376,000.
Worked out: RM2,100 x 12 = RM25,200 divided by RM376,000 = 6.7% a year before costs. At the RM1,400 rent floor it is 4.5%. Pay the RM769,000 asking ceiling for the same rent and you make 3.3% — the entire yield case lives in the entry ask.
SPEEDHOME has zero dedicated M Oscar listings today (the building page exists but shows none — you would be the first), so these are market asks, not our own records. Transacted rents are not published.
Rooms are the honest maybe. No M Oscar room rates are measured, so the room numbers are area arithmetic: at RM500-700 a room, the 4-bed units (1,098-1,198 sqft, 4 rooms) gross around RM2,000-2,800 — above the whole-unit band — while the 2- and 3-bed splits gross below it. And any split needs the management's written yes first. SPEEDHOME coliving welcomes cats, and pet-friendly rooms earn about 15-20% more — but price the rooms off your own local quotes before you believe the arithmetic.
Short-stay is not an option to model: zero M Oscar units exist on Airbnb (checked 11 Oct 2026 — the nearest listings are Arte Cheras and Amerin, different buildings). There is no nightly market here to compete with the monthly one.
What it is worth is honestly unclear
Fifty-nine units are live for sale, asking from RM376,000 up to a RM769,097 ceiling, from RM487 psf. The transacted record is a mess: data sites claim a RM921,000 median at RM766 psf — which sits above the live asking ceiling and is not credible for the same stock (likely mixed up with another project). We cite neither side. Until a clean transaction record is reproduced from the official records, buy on the asking ladder and plan on no exit: this is a rent-yield building, and the exit is a bonus, not the plan.
5 checks before you buy
-
Get the real land title document — not the agent's ad. M Oscar is marketed as a service residence; your unit's own issue document settles its title category, and that decides which rules bind you. 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 — charges are not published, and the RM0.46 psf figure floating around data sites is unverified. Use your own strata statement. Done: a number on paper. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
-
Show your renovation plan to DBKL before you sign anything. DBKL is the council here, and KL bans cutting new bedrooms in commercial-titled buildings — your title document from check 1 settles which side of that line your unit is on. Done: the council tells you in writing.
-
Until checks 1 and 2 are done, buy nothing you cannot undo. For M Oscar: 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 M Oscar?
Only the 4-bed units (Types C and D) beat the whole-unit band on area arithmetic — about RM2,000-2,800 against RM1,400-2,100 whole — and no in-building room rate has been measured. The 2- and 3-bed splits gross below the whole-unit let. Any of it needs the management's written OK first. See the room rental and co-living guide.
What yield does M Oscar give?
About 4.5-6.7% a year before costs at the RM376,000 entry ask (RM1,400-2,100 rent). At the RM769,000 ceiling the same rent pays 3.3%. Running costs are not published, so your real return is lower — put your strata statement into the calculator above.
Is short-stay allowed at M Oscar?
There is no short-stay market here to ask about: zero M Oscar units ran on Airbnb at the October 2026 check. If you still want the model, the management's written position decides — but the measured demand is zero.
Are pets allowed at M Oscar?
The building's rules are not public. SPEEDHOME coliving welcomes cats, 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 — plus your strata statement, because this building's costs are self-verified. The work is one tenant whole-unit, or four-to-eight tenants if you split a 4-bed (only worth it on measured rates, not area arithmetic). Whole-unit, the cycle is one listing, a handful of viewings, a stamped tenancy agreement, then rent day. Families and Kuchai Lama / Sri Petaling commuters are the demand here — with 59 units for sale but almost none structured for rent, a properly listed unit stands out. SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the zero-deposit screening; you approve the tenant before the agreement is signed.
