Own a unit at SkyAwani 3 Residences? Run it whole-unit, and know exactly how thin the published evidence is before you price anything. Thirteen transacted sales put the median at RM289,500. The rent market reads RM1,000-1,500 a month in portal summaries only — this sweep bound no live rent card, so that band is an estimate, not a measurement, and the yield it implies (about 4.1-6.2% a year gross) is labelled hard. Supply is deep (51 portal rental listings), no unit at the building trades short-stay, and the RUMAWIP scheme's occupancy and resale conditions gate every model. Whole-unit long-term is the defensible default.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card, tell the tool which unit you hold, then put in your own numbers — the rent field starts empty here on purpose, because no live card for this building was bound this sweep. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
Honest basis first: the rent band of RM1,000-1,500 (about RM1.20-1.40 psf) exists only in portal summarizer prose, and one summary adds "rents around RM1,400". No raw card price surfaced from any channel this sweep — so the page carries the band as a labelled estimate and the calculator leaves the rent field to you and your dated in-building comparable.
The denominator is firmer: the Brickz row for the building reads thirteen transacted sales, median RM289,500, price range RM279,000 (P25) to RM300,000 (P75). One trap sits inside that row: the displayed "1,270 psf" contradicts the uniform 800 sqft plate — RM289,500 over 800 sqft is about RM362 psf — so the psf figure is display noise; use the price columns, never the psf. Asking prices run RM300,000-380,000 in current portal captures.
Put together, the labelled estimate: RM1,000-1,500 x 12 over RM289,500 = 4.1-6.2% a year gross, both inputs weak. Supply pressure is real — fifty-one portal rental listings at the building (a count that conflates property classes, so read it as depth, not a band). In a pool that deep the differentiated card wins: furnished, fast internet, zero deposit. Our own board holds zero dedicated listings here — the Setapak corridor pool around it runs RM750 rooms to RM2,800 wholes in other buildings — so the first zero-deposit card sets its own reference.
Rooms: no in-building room evidence exists anywhere — nothing measured, nothing asserted. The scheme and the unwritten management position gate any shared-occupancy plan regardless. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — and pet-friendly rooms earn about 15-20% more where they exist.
Short-stay: zero units name this building — verified live this sweep. The Setapak corridor's short-stay stock belongs to other developments; their rates are their market. And under the RUMAWIP scheme, your first gates are the scheme's own occupancy and resale conditions, then the management's letter.
Why whole-unit wins here
SkyAwani 3 is uniform affordable stock at scale: three blocks of 52 storeys, 1,905 units, one layout — the 800 sqft 3-bed, 2-bath Type A — with eight levels of podium parking, leasehold, by Skysanctuary Development under the Residensi Wilayah programme. The tenant is the Setapak family and the city worker on the corridor: one tenant, one agreement, durable finishes, minimal drama.
The completion record is carried verbatim because it disagrees with itself: the portal project record says completion year 2021; the family record says keys were handed to buyers in 2022. Your title document and handover papers settle your unit's age — and with it the defect timeline. The auction-and-exit story for this class is written elsewhere; here the constraint is the scheme: affordable-programme units carry occupancy and resale conditions that outrank any yield arithmetic you can build.

Until checks 1 and 2 are done, buy nothing you cannot undo. A reversible SPEEDRENO rental fit-out converts the unit back in a day.
FAQ
Can you rent rooms at SkyAwani 3 Residences?
No in-building room evidence exists anywhere — no measured room rate, no asserted market. A 3-bed plan makes splits physically possible, but the scheme's occupancy conditions and the management's unwritten position gate the model. Whole-unit first; see the room rental and co-living guide for where splits do work.
What yield does SkyAwani 3 Residences give?
About 4.1-6.2% a year gross as a labelled estimate: the RM1,000-1,500 summarizer rent band over the RM289,500 transacted median (13 sales). Both inputs are weak — no live rent card was bound this sweep, and an affordable-scheme median is a thin denominator. Enter your own dated comparable in the calculator above.
Is short-stay allowed at SkyAwani 3 Residences?
Zero units at the building trade short-stay today — verified live. The corridor's short-stay stock belongs to other developments, and the scheme's conditions come first anyway. If the question ever opens, the answer is the management's written by-laws, and Malaysia's top court confirmed a corporation can ban the use outright.
Are pets allowed at SkyAwani 3 Residences?
The building's rules are not public. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — 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 and the management's letter. The work is one tenant whole-unit — a Setapak family or corridor commuter in a durable 3-bed — with the cycle of one listing, viewings, a stamped tenancy agreement, then rent day. In a fifty-one-listing pool the furnished, zero-deposit card is the one that moves; SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the screening, and you approve the tenant before the agreement is signed. Keep the fit-out reversible, and hold the scheme's conditions ahead of every yield number.
Ready? List your unit with SPEEDHOME — zero deposit, we run the viewings, you approve the tenant.
The rent band is a labelled estimate from portal summaries captured 11 Oct 2026 (no live card bound this sweep); the RM289,500 median is the thirteen-sale Brickz record, whose displayed psf is defective and cited nowhere. Maintenance is unpublished. More: the landlord investment decision guide and the Setapak area hub.
