Own a unit at Marina Cove (Wave)? The default is the whole-unit let, and the ladder is measured at depth: 89 live cards on the Mudah entity — the deepest pool this corridor carries — running 1-bed RM1,850-2,300, 2-bed mode RM2,400-2,500 on the 793 sqft plate, 3-bed RM2,500-3,500. That pool is also the warning: about 86 of 89 cards are agent-listed, an investor-heavy queue where your competition is freshness and CIQ copy. Yield is entry-dependent: on the Brickz median RM633,900 the 2-bed mode is about 4.5-4.7% gross; on the P25 RM277,450 the 1-bed runs 8.0-8.7% — the small-plate P25 case is where the yield lives. The split arithmetic is corridor-basis and close: three rooms at RM800-950 gross RM2,400-2,850 against the measured 3-bed band of RM2,500-3,500 — it beats the band's bottom cards and loses to its RM3,000 mode and top. Short stay: zero building-named Airbnb units despite the waterfront. Our own board carries zero dedicated listings — your card would be the only live dedicated one. Run your entry price and plate through the calculator before committing anything.

What can you earn?
First-party first: SPEEDHOME's Marina Cove entity page exists but carries zero dedicated in-building listings — "5 nearby" — so in a 1,465-unit waterfront tower your card would be the only live dedicated zero-deposit one. What our board does measure is the corridor's room market: Polo Park and Residensi Panorama at RM800, Midas Seri Alam at RM950, all pet-friendly room cards — comparables that price the split question below, not in-building rates.
The measured ladder, entity-read, 89 cards deep: the one-beds run RM1,850-2,300 across the 526-600 sqft plates (RM1,850 partially furnished near CIQ, RM2,000 fully furnished with sea-view cards, RM2,300 move-in condition), and the one pet signal in the building sits here — a 526 sqft fully furnished card at RM1,900 printed "Pet Allowed". The mode is the 793 sqft two-bed at RM2,400-2,500 across seven fresh cards, with RM2,600-2,700 on the larger 2-bed plates and one RM3,500 high-floor 1,100 sqft outlier. Three-beds run RM2,500-3,500 on 933-952 sqft, the sea-view cards at the top. Card titles stuff nearby names — Permas, Bayu Puteri, Sentoso, Southkey — for search; the entity title governs identity.
The sale side: Brickz prints a median RM633,900 at 698 psf with P25 RM277,450 and P75 RM1,029,900 (excerpt; transaction depth not shown), a live EdgeProp card asks RM595,000 and carries the only measured running cost — "maintenance fee (RM 305/Mth) including sinking fund" — and the developer floor is RM395,900. So the honest yield statement, derived and labelled: 2-bed mode on the median is 4.5-4.7% gross; the 1-bed on P25 is 8.0-8.7%; the developer floor gives 5.6-6.1%. The split arithmetic, corridor-basis and labelled: three rooms at RM800-950 gross RM2,400-2,850 against the full measured 3-bed band of RM2,500-3,500 — above its bottom card, below its RM3,000 mode and RM3,500 top — whole-unit still wins the pairing that matters. Short stay is the measured null: zero building-named Airbnb units despite the waterfront, nearest card a generic "Seaview Living at the Heart of JB"; and one unverified diligence flag belongs in the file, not the verdict — a December 2023 forum "troubled project" mention that the 89-card live market contradicts; verify JMB and management status yourself.
Why the CIQ address shapes the play
Wave @ Marina Cove is the residential tower of IOI Properties' freehold waterfront township on Jalan Sultanah Aminah — six 35-storey towers, 1,465 units per the editorial record, completed 2017, with Sultan Iskandar CIQ about three minutes away and the Tebrau Highway five. Plates run from a 526 sqft one-plus-one to a 1,344 sqft three-plus-one, eight units a floor.
Two structural facts shape the letting. First, the commuter geography: three minutes to the checkpoint makes the small plates natural CIQ-commuter homes — that is the demand the 1-bed ladder prices — and it is demand context, never a short-stay permission. Second, the supply queue: 89 live cards, mostly agent-run, means the generic card drowns; the scarce conversions — the pet-friendly whole-unit card (the RM1,900 "Pet Allowed" plate is the proof the market bills for it) and a properly managed shared 3-bed — are the deliberate differentiations, and both wait on the MC's written position, which is not public.

FAQ
Is Marina Cove a room-rental investment?
No — the arithmetic loses. Three corridor rooms at RM800-950 gross RM2,400-2,850 against the full measured 3-bed band of RM2,500-3,500: the split tops the band's bottom card but sits below its RM3,000 mode and RM3,500 top — before furnishing and management effort, and no in-building room rate exists to measure. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — whatever the MC decides about sharing.
What yield does Marina Cove give?
Entry-dependent, and the spread is the finding: about 4.5-4.7% gross with the 2-bed mode RM2,400-2,500 over the Brickz median RM633,900; 8.0-8.7% with the 1-bed RM1,850-2,000 over the P25 RM277,450; 5.6-6.1% at the developer floor RM395,900 — all derived on excerpt-grade denominators, labelled. Enter your own dated numbers in the calculator above.
Is short-stay allowed at Marina Cove?
Zero building-named Airbnb units sit in the grid despite the waterfront — a measured null, with a re-probe owed — and no by-law text is public. Treat nightly income as unpriced until the written position says otherwise; a management corporation can prohibit short-term letting.
Are pets allowed at Marina Cove?
One measured card says the market bills for it: the 526 sqft fully furnished RM1,900 card printed "Pet Allowed" — the building's only pet signal, a card, not an MC position. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms. The roughly 15-20% premium class for pet-friendly setups is market context; the building-level MC position is not published and can vary; the offer is SPEEDHOME policy.
What running it looks like
Setup is two documents: the title (which names your parcel's category) and the MC letter (which settles multi-tenancy, pets and short stay — plus the status question the forum flag raised). The work is one household in one properly furnished unit — a 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; if the furnish tier needs work first, that is one company too, not a contractor who leaves after handover.
Ready? List your unit with SPEEDHOME — zero deposit, we run the viewings, you approve the tenant.
