I Toured Frankie's RM1.8 Million Mansion

[@seyedabuthahirmohamedibrah2452]

Frankie very sincere with the renovation cost...most owners will hide the real cost

This house is not pretentious. Cosy, fit the purpose and very liveable. very nice house Frankie!

[@deddufiz]

Very nicely done House as a Home...am surprised that I enjoyed this video, thanks Petter for making this Video & much thanks to Frankie for Opening Up to Share us on his House & Not holding back on some of the Cost as well as Brilliant Ideas & New Tech out there which i didn't know existed..usually people don't feel comfortable to Show their House or even share the Cost of Certain things for the Renovation, am glad Frankie being a good sport & share it for us to get an idea how much some item cost & what are some of the tips like fengshui etc he implemented..also interesting Video to get good advice on Home & Renovation Contractors..Thank you Peter & Frankie as well as Mr Money TV crew for this MasterPiece 😇

Thank you Frankie for sharing your home with us! Good choices on furnishings, working so hard, we need to allow ourselves to make some comfort decisions once in a while. Take care and more future successes to all of you!

[@DanielKuay]

Coming from the home renovation industry, I'd say it's the sad truth that it's still very common for contractors to take your money and run away with it, or they left with alot of workmanship defects that they won't bother to come back and touch it up for you, even though payment is not fully collected. And very often you will burst your budget for this kind of big renovation because they earn the extra bucks via variation order. Can't deny that RM700k is alot but at least it's properly done and he got what he wanted. Congrats man!

[@wl9742]

Actually i rarely watch renovation house but because they mention the estimation price and some tips i think is a very reliable video and enjoyable and had a good sense for reality measure Thanks Guys always support

[@viostvcm]

love this see more content like this.... good information for the someone who planning to renovate they home

[@bgees]

In my honest opinion, the outcome of the renovation doesn't seem to justify the cost of RM700K. The final result appears to be a fairly standard house without any distinctive interior design elements. Opting for an all-white color scheme might not have been the best idea; this experience serves as a valuable lesson for future real-life cases. It's a reminder to be cautious and thoughtful about upcoming renovations, if any. Additionally, the 'fine arts' are not displayed properly with a design that complements the house.

[@killmyindianbrother]

Let’s not forget it’s an old building, that area was built more than 30 years ago. All the electrical wirings, plumbing, roofing, tiling, has to be changed - that’s already a huge cost. Looking at the layout I’m assuming Frankie hacked and repositioned a lot of walls. Then his auto gate, glass panels, solar panels installation, carpentry, smart home system, anti theft etc. If all are of quality goods like walls with embedded steel, Aluminium cabinets etc, 500k is a no miss. The remaining goes to his furniture, electrical and electronic appliances.. 700k sounds about right.

[@MrMoneyTV]

Kudos!! U got it right @killmyindianbrother

[@thongmengpoh5560]

I agreed with @bgees. Rm700k for standard design. Not worth it. At least 2.5 storey with a center courtyard that has a movable roof.

[@scteoh4855]

And 2 storeys where got close to 1.4mil unless it's closer to One U.

[@nigellow8153]

I do agree with @bgees. The design flow isn't there. 700K is too much imho.

[@bryan8015]

One of my cringi-est memory during my college days was when I visited a girl's new house (then crush). I started touching and knocking on all the furniture, asking her dad how much it cost and where he got it from, just like what Peter did. Thank you for showing me, i'm not the only one. Needless to say, I was never invited over again after that.

RM700k to rebuild a whole terrace house seems like such a waste unless you are really loaded and really love that location. Anyway congratz

[@xcjsmith5310]

I agree… definitely loaded and also definitely took the contractor long time. They have patient and money

[@williamchiawq3747]

yeah RM 700K just for renovation leh. Maybe I expect too much from spending RM 700k, I really still cant understand how it spending total over RM700k just renovate a house look like an ordinary house. PS: Unfortunately unfortunate, his case is contractor in court case. suppose spending 300-400k total but end up he need to spend more like to hire other contractors and workers to step in in order to complete the job.

[@Whatexactlyispeace]

And the house looks very normal. 700k I expect the house to look modern, with a nice feature wall and all the cables concealed

[@blardymunggas6884]

For own stay, its worth to spend and build it well. If you live happy, you will make more money.

[@calebleejl]

omg the mugs at the end. was it intentional? 15:10

[@davehie]

1 part if wish Frankie could share is the loan and monthly installment of this house. How much was loan, advise on what to look for in a bank loan. Monthly loan repayment how much. and any tips & tricks.

[@kjbon]

Very true. Those top rated ID companies on platforms like atap is just crap. I kind of went through the same ordeal. Bought the house in early 2020. Engaged a reputable ID for the job. It became a nightmare and I had to terminate the ID and engage another contractor to finish the job. It took me 1 and a half years. In Malaysia, I feel that consumers are least protected in the renovation process.

[@xB-pp3nn]

yes there can be bad ID/design & build companies; but sometimes its also the client who has issues. Best for the initial meetings to talk things through, clarify whats the requirements and needs and make sure its the right match for both client & ID.

[@vinny572]

What was your experience like, what went wrong and what's your advice if you had to start over again?

[@kjbon]

@@vinny572 If I were to start over: 1. To request for a work plan from ID from the beginning and have a fair termination clause in the contract if the ID fail to deliver. Compensation on late delivery should also be added into the contract. 2. Monitor every progress even though there’s a project manager handling your job, especially carpentry work, height of your cabinet etc. Ask them details about material, finishing and hinges they use. Those things matter. My ID told me laminate is same cost as sprayed paint 🫣 3. If your renovation involves lotsa wet work, be onsite when they are doing major things like cement roof extension, building of brick walls etc. Don’t let them cut corners. Hire a professional defect checker. They will find all the problems and save you much more money. Trust me! Do this before making final payment to ID. 4. The most important thing is when the ID failed to deliver. Give them just one chance. If you see they dragging your work, just terminate them and request for refund on unfinished work. Yes, it’s very troublesome for you and you may be in dilemma that you have locked in a good price and may not find the same good deal. Don’t be like me. The ID can cancel you any time or engage a lousy worker to finish your job. You are at the losing end! 5. If they failed to pay up, just get a lawyer. You can go tribunal if the contract is within 50k. Else, just hire a lawyer to get proper legal advice. Some ID won’t budge until they receive a letter of demand.

[@foodandcoffe3]

I found my ID through atap and we're very satisfied with the results! Important to constantly communicate and understand each other's expectations. So I guess everyone had different experiences.

[@nickloong]

Prices for renovations have really gone bonkers post Covid. Sometimes it triggers suspicion whether the inflated prices have actually been exaggerated for profiteering purposes!😅

[@incisor78]

Exactly. 20-30% increase still acceptable due to min wage increase and inflation. If constuction cost really doubled there will not be any new launches for condo below rm500k.

[@afhamyusof]

Such a lovely house

[@syl4547]

Frankie, may I know the wall colour for your master bed room? It’s what kind of cream / off white? Thank you in advance

[@vinvin5238]

I still don't really know which area you most spent for your renovation after watching the video. Be honest, for that price; I expect to see a lot of built in cabinets and some designs. My thoughts; even for own stay; it should also have investment in mind in case you need to sell it for whatever reason. RM1.7million cost to begin for intermediate house though in BU is relatively a high price. But home is home. Happy staying

[@kehnit]

the high cost is due to structural works. Like having an extension and changing the entire layout. As well as the new finishing. That alone could add up quite quickly. Speaking from architect’s pov.

[@stevenlee4099]

Frankie, I noticed your mug color and your tshirt color are so matching. ❤

Great house, great presentation and great entertainment. Well done gentlemen 👍

[@rineleff2009]

For a few months now I have been searching tirelessly for information on how to start investing. I even payed $400 for a course that I now regret. It appears that there is no structured guided for beginners on how to get started in this realm. I’ve came across several investors making well over $250k/annual and I would be grateful if anyone on here could provide insights on how to get started, identity potential stocks, when to make an entry, exit etc

[@AmandaKatherineLeff-j9f]

Keep it simple in the beginning. Buy something, like an index fund, and hold. Educate yourself in the meantime and elevate your risk tolerance over time

[@filipxavier1041]

In order to make profits from trading you need loads of experience and a well defined strategy, which most traders don't have. If you trade without the proper preparation, you're most likely to lose your money. Identify the buy/sell ratios and identify the market leaders and most importantly. Diversify! this will help you spread risk

[@gilbertbrien2280]

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.

[@KarenLynnOlsen]

who is your financial coach, do you mind hooking me up?

[@MrPoppyplants]

This is just MY OPINION, but no way would I ever spend RM700k on renovation for my house just to look like this. I think this is a clear consequence of trying too hard to save money and not appointing a proper ID and architect firm for your project. If you signed a contract with an ID and architect from the beginning, the RM700K would have absolutely transformed this terrace house.

Unfortunately it’s the typical cinaman mentality that is probably drilled into us since young, especially involving a huge one off, lump sum upfront. These days I have learned not to be so uptight about my money, but that’s not to say I gonna spend unnecessarily
