Prima Regency, Johor Bahru: Rental Investment

The verdict at Prima Regency is the whole-unit let on a deep, fast-churning machine — and the split is this page's named open money question, flagged, not flipped. The Mudah entity carries 46 live rentals; the first page alone (23 cards, eighteen hours to four weeks old, agent-run) puts studios at RM1,100-1,400 and 3-beds at RM1,550-1,900 with the mode at RM1,600 — four cards asking RM1,600 for the 1,050 sq ft plate. The sale side is thin and ranged: ten dated Brickz transactions in eleven months, median RM355,000 (335 psf; body P25 RM330,000, P75 RM400,000 — the meta band RM270,000-430,000 conflicts, body governs). Mode rent RM1,600-1,800 against that median is about 5.4-6.1% — asking rents over transacted sales, labelled as exactly that. Two snippet-grade room cards (RM750, RM850) put three rooms at RM2,250-2,550, out-grossing the whole ask 1.2-1.4x — but that pair is n=2 and not live-bound, so it is a gated flag, not a verdict. Zero dedicated cards on our own board — first-mover vacancy on a measured market. Maintenance is not published anywhere live; the RM0.20 psf figure is a launch-era record, not a live echo.

Three ways to run your unit

Pick a model card and put in your own numbers. The rent field loads RM1,600 — the mode of the 3-bed class on a 46-card entity. The purchase field loads RM355,000 — the Brickz live median, ten dated transactions. The rooms card runs the snippet-grade pair RM750-850, wired as the flagged what-if: the arithmetic leads, the evidence does not, and the MC letter plus live-bound room cards are what would settle it. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?

First-party first: zero dedicated, city-wide pool. Our entity page serves "Zero Deposit Houses for Rent in Prima Regency Johor Bahru · 10 nearby" (the bare slug serves identical bytes) over a ten-card Johor Bahru city-wide pool — Austin Heights Manhattan at RM1,650 pet-friendly, Molek Regency at RM2,500 pet-friendly, five 1Tebrau rooms at RM650-750, Cube 8 at RM1,400 with 9 requests and 2 viewings, and two "Parc Regency" cards at RM2,400-2,500. That last name is a trap: Parc Regency on Jalan Masai Jaya is a different project sharing the Regency stem — never merged into this building's numbers.

The rent market is deep, fresh and agent-run. The Mudah entity is confirmed at its own URL — "46 Apartment / Condominium For Rent Prima Regency in Johor Bahru, Johor". Page one of two, read card by card: "RM 1,100 per month PRIMA REGENCY @ PLENTONG [STUDIO] 480 sq.ft ... Listed 3 days ago"; "RM 1,400 per month ... [STUDIO] 585 sq.ft ... 2 weeks"; "RM 1,200 ... NEAR CIQ, NEAR LOTUS'S, NEAR HSI, NEAR UITM [Studio] 685 sq.ft ... 3 weeks"; "RM 1,700 ... 3R2B FULLY FURNISHED ... 1,000 sq.ft ... 18 hours ago"; "RM 1,900 ... [3 Bedrooms] 1,050 sq.ft ... 1 week"; "RM 1,600 per month below market ... [3 Bedrooms] 1,050 sq.ft". Roughly eighteen of the twenty-three first-page cards are agency-listed; the freshness spread runs from eighteen hours to four weeks. A band from one page is a band, not a census — the second page is the re-sweep's job.

Rooms — the arithmetic leads, the evidence does not. Exactly two cards exist, both snippet-grade: an iBilik master room at "RM850/mon" (available from November) and a Mudah master at "RM750/month, 150 sq.ft, private bathroom" whose detail URL canonical-fell to the national rooms feed — never live-bound. On that pair, three rooms gross RM2,250-2,550 against a RM1,600-1,900 whole ask — 1.2-1.4x on the 1,050 sq ft plate. That is a flagged split case, not a verdict: bind live room cards and obtain the MC's written sharing position before the page argues rooms. Until then, the room rental and co-living guide is context, not permission.

Sale — ten dated rows, a launch-era ask band beside them. Brickz, name-read to Jalan Masai Baru: "Prima Regency have 10 sold Non-Landed Transactions. Median price RM355,000(335 psf)", dated 01/08/2025 to 22/06/2026. Unlocked rows: RM390,000 (366 psf, 3rm 1,066 sqft, 27/10/2025); RM325,000 (305 psf, 13/10/2025); RM430,000 (357 psf, 1,206 sqft, 06/10/2025); RM400,000 (375 psf, 28/09/2025); RM400,000 (332 psf, Jalan Masai Lama, 1,206 sqft, 01/08/2025). The percentile conflict, carried verbatim: body "half between RM330,000 and RM400,000" against meta "Price range RM270,000(P25) - RM430,000(P75)" — body governs. The irumah aggregator adds an ask band of RM230,000-350,000 (555-1,050 sf, search excerpt) that overlaps the transacted window — corroborating, not double-counted. Short-stay: zero building-named Airbnb units; the building query degraded to Singapore capsule-pod stock in SGD — a cross-border artifact, recorded as a null, never a rate. Maintenance: the live probe found no figure anywhere (the irumah info panel has no fee field, the rental cards carry none, the rooms carry none); RM0.20 psf is the StarProperty review's launch-era record — say "recorded", never "measured". Quit rent and assessment are not published; running costs default to RM330 a month as a fenced placeholder; council is MBJB. Fit-out planning bands: see the SPEEDRENO fit-out guide.

Worked arithmetic, mixed-basis labelled. 3-bed mode RM1,600-1,800 × 12 = RM19,200-21,600 a year: on the RM355,000 median, about 5.4-6.1%; on body-P25 RM330,000, about 5.8-6.5%. Studios at RM1,100-1,400 against the same median run about 3.7-4.7%. All of it is asking rent over transacted sale — run the calculator on your own dated numbers before calling any of it a market.

Why a 24-year-old freehold at Plentong runs on management, not novelty

Prima Regency is Mayland's freehold scheme — Mayland trades as Malaysia Land Properties Sdn Bhd, incorporated 1995 — of eight 11-storey blocks on Jalan Masai Baru, Plentong, in the CIQ/EDL/Permas catchment: a 585 sq ft studio, a typical 3-bed/2-bath 1,050 sq ft unit, and a 2,236 sq ft six-plus-one penthouse. The completion record itself carries its hedge: the StarProperty review records 2002 "as said by some to be completed that year" — the completion certificate is not in named sources, and the strata register is the check that settles it. Two facts govern the play. First, a scheme this age lives on its management: the written position on sharing, pets and short stay, and the current fee schedule, decide more than any fit-out — and the sunk-cost risk sits in the sinking fund, not the kitchen. Second, the market shape: a 46-card rental book against ten sales in eleven months means this is a cash-flow building, not an exit building — price the hold accordingly. Pets: no building-level MC position is published; the pet-friendly flags in the pool belong to other buildings' offers. The offer that stands regardless: SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — and pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry; the by-law variance travels in the same letter.

5 checks before you commit

  1. Read the real title document — freehold, with the completion date that settles the "said by some" 2002 record. Done: you hold the individual issue document of title.

  2. Get the MC's written stance — short-stay, multi-tenancy and pets in one request; with the split flagged on snippet evidence, this letter is half of what would settle it. Done: the clauses, in writing, with the COB filing date.

  3. Ask for the fee schedule and the sinking-fund balance — no live figure exists; RM0.20 psf is the launch-era record. A 24-year-old estate's repair line comes from statements, not optimism. Done: the current schedule and the last three years in writing.

  4. Price the exit off the ten dated rows — median RM355,000 / 335 psf, body percentiles RM330,000/RM400,000; a 46-card rental book against ten sales is a cash-flow building, not an exit building. Done: your own dated row-level comps, in writing.

  5. Live-bind the room cards before believing the split — RM750-850 is a two-card snippet pair; three dated in-building room cards plus the MC letter are the standard. Done: the cards and the letter, in writing.

FAQ

What yield does Prima Regency give?

On a labelled mixed basis: 3-bed mode rent RM1,600-1,800 (RM19,200-21,600 a year) against the RM355,000 transacted median is about 5.4-6.1% — about 5.8-6.5% on body-P25 RM330,000; studios run about 3.7-4.7%. Asking rents over transacted sales; run the calculator on your own dated numbers.

Can you rent out rooms at Prima Regency?

The arithmetic says maybe: two snippet-grade cards at RM750-850 put three rooms at RM2,250-2,550, out-grossing the RM1,600-1,900 whole ask 1.2-1.4x. But that is a two-card, not-live-bound pair — a flagged case, not a verdict. The MC's written sharing position plus live-bound room cards settle it.

Is short stay allowed at Prima Regency?

No building-named short-stay market was measured — the Airbnb building query degraded to Singapore stock in SGD. The MC's written by-law text and MBJB's licensing regime gate the model.

Are pets allowed at Prima Regency?

No building-level MC position is published; the pet-friendly flags in the nearby pool belong to other buildings' offers. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; the offer is our policy, and the by-law variance travels in the same letter. Pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry.

What running it looks like

Setup is three documents plus one discipline: the title with the freehold tenure and settled completion date, the MC's written stance, the fee schedule and sinking-fund balance — then condition-led spending on plates whose rental demand churns in days. The work is one clean household per unit — zero deposit, SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the rent collection, and you approve the tenant before anything is signed.
