Penang Rental Renovation Case Studies & Planning Examples

This page keeps two things apart. Verified renovation case studies are MyReno projects supported by our own records. Illustrative planning scenarios are budget examples only — not completed client projects and not guaranteed outcomes.

Penang Rental Renovation Case Studies & Planning Examples

Two separate things, kept separate: renovation case studies supported by our own project records, and illustrative planning scenarios used to show how a budget is put together.

This is an illustrative setup-cost-to-gross-rent calculation, not a complete investment return or guaranteed recovery period. It excludes vacancy, financing, taxes, management fees, maintenance and other ownership costs.

Verified Renovation Case Studies

MyReno completed renovation or furnishing work at these developments. Figures shown are limited to what our project records document.

7-Room Co-Living Conversion

Documented outcome

RM34,500 setup → the May 2026 owner statement recorded RM3,526.72 owner net, with 6 of 7 rooms occupied. This represents one documented month and should not be treated as a guaranteed monthly return or projected payback period. Results vary by unit.

Size: 7-Room Co-Living Conversion
Setup cost: RM34,500
Result: RM3,526.72 owner net recorded in the May 2026 statement month — one documented month
