3^rd February 2010: Last Night was a night to remember as SwhengTee’s 2010 CNY Networking Investors Dinner was held. More than 110 participants comprising of developers, property speakers, lawyers, researchers, bankers, architects and investors gathered not only for the networking opportunity but also to celebrate Gavin Tee’s birthday at Berjaya Hall, Bukit Kiara Equestrian Park.

The event went on in full swing with Gavin giving a welcome speech and making the introductions of his VVIP guests, including Dato Yap, Ho Chin Soon, Juanita Chin, and Chris Tan.

Guests could be seen mingling and chatting among each other as new friends were made, not only for the potential business opportunities but also to share their investment experiences.

The time came for Gavin’s talk titled “2010 – Real Estate Market Forecast & Opportunities." It was conducted superbly as the prominent speaker and real estate investment consultant conversed in both Chinese and English simultaneously to cater to the mixed crowd.

“The Year of the Tiger promises great success for the property circle in Malaysia, whereby an investor can still make great returns provided the right tools are being used. These tools would include Capital, Interest, Networking & Action,” he said.

He emphasized on the potential of the Malaysian Property Market by doing comparisons with the neighboring countries. “Malaysia is still seen as one of the least likely places for huge investments due to several key factors. Hence our property values are still way below its potential. If we are able to solve these issues, there is no doubt that Malaysia can be the new haven for local and foreign investments,” he added.

Celebrations were at full swing as the cake cutting ceremony was held along with the lucky draw prizes. Overall it was a fantastic night filled with social networking & learning; and made possible by Gavin Tee and Amcity Capital Sdn Bhd.

30th January 2010: The Penang property market was tipped to be a strong force in the very near future. Thus, it was no surprise that investors were already speculating about its market potential. Gavin Tee, the Real Estate Investment Consultant was once again traveling up north where he was invited as a speaker to participate in Juanita Chin’s ‘The Property Investment Club - 2010 Seminar Series’

Participants gathered intently as Gavin presented his speech titled 2010 – The New Property Cycle with Opportunities Begins. “The new year would definitely bring certain opportunities if you look out for them. Penang is definitely a market which I will study further as it has the potential to be a World Class Tourism Spot. By looking at its characteristics and recent property trends supported with the right developments, I believe that Penang can be a hot tourist destination,” he said.

Gavin went on with sharing his predictions and the property types that will be in demand for 2010. “If an investor does his homework and analysis, he or she would be able to point out the High-end condos, landed and commercial properties that will give returns in the long run.”
“You must be ready to invest for the long term, as quick returns would be limited and with an estimated holding time of one year. I foresee that the property market would only adjust itself again and rise up to its natural state within 3 years,” he added.
