Malaysian Property Investment a Safe Haven

Subang Jaya, 16^th August 2011 - Malaysian Real Estate is among the safest investment instruments in the world during the current times of turmoil. While US has lost its AAA rating from S&P for the first time since 1917, the European Union is experiencing a debt crisis, and Asia is experiencing inflationary pressures that is partially mitigated by its strengthening currencies, the Malaysian Real Estate Market is benefitting from several factors which are making it attractive internationally.

At Swhengtee International Real Estate Investors Club's “Buying Property in Bulk” Seminar, held at Sunway Resort Hotel, Founding President Gavin Tee shared that Malaysia has so few property controls to deter foreign investors from investing; has among the cheapest properties in Asia; and has the Economic Transformation Programme, which is expected to spur economic growth. Combined with rising inflation, the cutting of subsidies, and rising property prices, Malaysia is the best destination to invest in Asia. He forecasts that a minority of people will own the majority of properties, while condominium prices in Malaysia may hit RM5000 per square foot before 2016.

Real Estate Investors Clubs have the ability to profit from their Group Investing Power, especially in the current market situation where they can weather the storm. With the strength of their leadership, network, professionalism and negotiation power, they are able to distribute various benefits to their members; generate profit from the external market; have the professional knowledge to enhance and create value in their investments; and strengthening as well as easing the whole investment process. Gavin Tee cautioned that Real Estate Investment does not guarantee gains as there are risks for any investments; and that group purchasing could blow up bubbles when there is a lack of experience and professionalism in leading and managing such groups.

Gavin Tee said, “Malaysian Real Estate is a safe haven investment during these times of economic turmoil. Its prices are still affordable and the lowest in the region, our policies are relaxed and most friendly towards foreign investors, its cities are at the initial stage of urbanization towards world-class standards, and its globalisation brings a historical golden opportunity for investors.”
