Can I buy a house in JB on a RM3,000 salary?
Quick answer: Yes, but the budget is limited. With RM3,000 net salary, 60% DSR and no other debt, the maximum instalment is about RM1,800 — a loan of about RM400k in theory. In practice banks prefer lower instalments, so aim for homes around RM250k–RM350k in Ulu Tiram, Kulai, Pasir Gudang or affordable apartments.
