Viral M’sian YouTuber Slams Back Property Agent Who Accused Him of Merely Renting Posh House for Content

Being a YouTuber comes with lots of perks. Starting out on YouTube is easy nowadays, and almost anyone can just record and upload videos. But can being a YouTuber really help you afford a RM9.7 million house?

A recent story has sparked discussion among netizens online. A property agent recently exposed a YouTuber for allegedly renting an RM9.7 mil bungalow, after saying he bought it.

It was said that the YouTuber presents himself as someone who has achieved success and lives a luxurious lifestyle. The agent even mentioned that the YouTuber has gone as far as promoting gambling.

The man even contacted the agent, who disclosed that the owner is still selling the house for RM9.8 million, with room for negotiation. The property was previously rented for RM23,000.

The YouTuber broke his silence to explain his side of the story

The YouTuber who is going viral now has responded on his Instagram to the property agent’s remarks about his statement that the YouTuber was merely renting the house for content.

The YouTuber clarified,

“If we were to buy a house and needed to move in before the banking process was finalised, we could ask the previous owner to allow us to move in early and pay rent instead.”

He further explains that Ishaq shouldn’t have contacted the agent because the agent was trying to sell the house.

“If you try to check all the housing advertisements for sale in Malaysia, I can guarantee you won’t find it. You’re wrongly accusing people.”

Isa then proceeds to explain that the aftermath of the situation has made him look bad in the eyes of everyone online. He further questions why it concerns the property agent if he did indeed rent the house.

“What confuses me is, even if I did rent the house, why does it have anything to do with you?”

The YouTuber then explains that if he were to rent, it would cost him RM20k, with maintenance at RM10k, and an electric bill of roughly RM15k, totaling up to RM45k.

“If you were to buy this house, the value would be RM9.7 million, with a deposit of RM1.9 million, making the monthly payment RM35k. So what’s the difference between buying it for RM35k per month and renting it for RM45k?”

Isa then concluded the video by revealing that the house is a subsale home. Therefore, if he were to move in early, he could do so, but he would have to pay rent to the previous owner.
