Rental Yield, ROI & Dual-Key Cash Flow
An indicative 5.9%–6.8% gross yield with positive monthly cash flow on dual-key units — one MRT stop from TRX, at roughly half the psf. Here is the worked math, unit by unit.
One stop from TRX, at half the psf
Binastra Cochrane is priced around RM978 psf. New condos at Tun Razak Exchange — one MRT stop away, and the future home of Monash’s 22,500-student KL campus — sell for RM1,900–2,200 psf. You buy into the same catchment for far less.
ROI & cash flow per unit
Based on a 90% loan at 3.7% over 35 years and current Cochrane-area rents. Dual-key units earn two rents from one title, so they run cash-flow positive from day one.
| Unit | Price | Instalment | Est. Rent | Cash Flow | ROI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type A · 649 sf | RM721,800 | RM2,761 | RM3,900 | +RM1,139 | 6.4% |
| Type B · 763 sf (dual key) | RM882,800 | RM3,376 | RM5,000 | +RM1,624 | 6.8% |
| Type C · 1,008 sf (dual key) | RM1,246,800 | RM4,891 | RM6,300 | +RM1,409 | 5.9% |
| Type C1 · 1,026 sf (dual key) | RM1,267,800 | RM4,975 | RM6,400 | +RM1,425 | 5.9% |

The dual-key advantage
A dual-key unit is two separate, lockable homes under one title and one loan — each with its own entrance and bathroom. That changes the investment maths:
Two rents, one loan
Rent both halves to two tenants — combined rent comfortably exceeds the single instalment.
Live in one, rent the other
Own-stay buyers can offset their instalment with rent from the second key.
Lower vacancy risk
Two smaller tenancies are easier to fill than one large unit — and rarely both vacant at once.
What units rent for in Cochrane
Reference rents used in the model, based on comparable serviced apartments in the Cochrane / TRX corridor:
| Unit type | Indicative monthly rent |

| 2 bedroom | RM3,800 – RM5,000 |
| 3 bedroom | RM4,800 – RM6,800 |
Remember the holding costs beyond the loan: maintenance (~RM0.50 psf), the sinking fund, assessment and quit rent, plus a vacancy buffer. We can model your net position on request.
