Own a parcel at PPA1M Pudina? The model is whole-unit civil-service letting, and the number that governs everything is the moratorium, not the rent. Measured asking sits at RM1,350-2,000 (two live cards plus one feed band; working band RM1,600-1,900) against a Brickz transacted median of RM320,000 with five resales dated 2024-2026 — that is 5.1-7.5% a year gross on the median, 7.7-11.5% on the P25 entry of RM209,536, labelled hard because two rent cards and five transactions is a thin base. Rooms are not a market here — no Pudina room card exists on any channel. Two homestay units trade at RM250-309.4 a night, but this is government housing: a compliance flag, never an upside lane.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card, put in your own numbers — the loaded price is the Brickz transacted median and the loaded rent is the measured card band, nothing stronger exists. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
Start with what is measured, because it is thin. The rent evidence is two cards and one feed excerpt. Our own board carries one dedicated card at RM1,900, created 2026-10-03 with no chat requests yet — the card spells the scheme "PPAM Pudina", a variant we carry verbatim. Mudah's entity page carries one card at RM1,350 for a 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,022 sqft unit, listed 22/09/2026 by a private advertiser. The area feed adds RM1,800 fully furnished and a "HOT LOCATION" asking at RM2,000. That is the whole measured band: RM1,350-2,000, with a working band of RM1,600-1,900 once you weight the furnished and in-scheme cards.
The corridor sets the ceiling, and the gap is the story. Dwiputra Residences — the private-market scheme a kilometre out in Presint 15 — asks RM2,900-3,100 with 28 to 41 lifetime chat requests on its cards. Pudina's civil-service rents are not a defect to repair; they are the other half of the subsidized-entry trade.
Run the money. RM1,350 and RM2,000 over twelve months is RM16,200-24,000 a year. On the Brickz median of RM320,000 that is 5.1-7.5% gross; on the P25 entry of RM209,536 it is 7.7-11.5% — the subsidized-entry effect, and the reason PPA1M paper looks rich on thin evidence. The labels carry: two rent cards, five transactions, one thin median. Never a market yield.
Rooms: none here. No Pudina room card surfaced on any channel — the nearest room record is a Dwiputra roommate card at RM390, a different building renting different stock — and the scheme's rules discourage sharing. Nothing to measure, nothing to underwrite.
Short stay: two building-named homestays run nightly — "Lakeview Apartment@ Pudina" at RM1,250 for five nights (RM250 a night) and "Putrajaya Precinct 17 Pudina Homestay" at RM1,547 (RM309.4 a night, discounted from RM1,908). At an assumed 60% occupancy that implies about RM4,500-5,570 a month, above the whole-unit band — and irrelevant, because this is PPA1M government housing and the scheme's written position governs. Nightly lets against scheme conditions are the defect class here, not an upside.
Costs are the honest gap. No maintenance or sinking-fund figure is published anywhere — the only signal is a rent card bundling it ("Bulanan termasuk Maintenance RM1,600"), which makes the fee invisible. Your first parcel statement is the only number that counts.
Why the scheme decides everything
Pudina is 1,504 units in eight 26-storey blocks — a deep supply of identical 3-bed (1,000-1,200 sqft) and 4-bed (~1,500 sqft) formats. When every card offers the same floor plan, condition and parking decide which one rents; that is an argument for durable over luxurious, not for spending more.
The demand is the asset. The catchment is ministry staff, Hospital Putrajaya personnel and administrative workers — steady, unspectacular, and exactly the tenant base a whole-unit landlord wants, because renewals beat vacancy. Putrajaya Sentral's rail links sit about six kilometres away via Lebuh Bestari, so parking is not an amenity here; it is the qualifying question.
And the moratorium is the number to internalise. Original PPA1M buyers took a 10-year sub-sale restriction with LPPSA funding; with CCC issued in 2018, the window binds original-buyer parcels to about 2028. Renting out after handover was always permitted — trading was the restricted part. The live proof that cleared parcels move: five Brickz resales dated 2024-2026 at a RM320,000 median. Which side of the line your parcel sits on is a title-file question, and it decides your exit before it ever decides your rent.

FAQ
Can a PPA1M Pudina unit be resold?
Not freely inside the window. Original buyers face a 10-year PPA1M sub-sale moratorium; with CCC issued in 2018 it binds original-buyer parcels to about 2028. But resales are real now — five Brickz transactions dated 2024-2026 at a RM320,000 median (270 psf, quartiles RM209,536-360,000). Your title file settles which side of the line your parcel is on.
What yield does PPA1M Pudina give?
5.1-7.5% a year gross on the Brickz median of RM320,000, and 7.7-11.5% on the P25 entry of RM209,536 — derived from a measured rent band of RM1,350-2,000 that rests on two cards and one feed excerpt. Thin base, labelled hard, never a market yield. Enter your own dated numbers in the calculator above; nothing stronger is honest.
Is short-stay allowed at PPA1M Pudina?
Two homestay units ask RM250 and RM309.4 a night — presence, not permission. This is government housing under a scheme position that is not public, and the courts have confirmed a management corporation can prohibit short-term letting outright. Treat nightly income as unavailable until the written position says otherwise.
Are pets allowed at PPA1M Pudina?
No written position is published. 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; the scheme's rules can vary.
What running it looks like
Setup is two documents: the title file (which settles the moratorium status) and the scheme letter (which settles multi-tenancy, pets and short stay). The work is one screened household in one durably 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. In a 1,504-unit scheme where every card offers the same format, the well-run card is the one that rents — and our own board already carries the one live Pudina card at RM1,900, so the second one can be yours.
