Does Malaysia Have What It Takes To Become An International Real Estate Destination

Resounding Yes, based on the following:

1. High Real Estate Transparency (Tier 2 with Japan)
2. Fantastic Infrastructure
3. High English Speaking Content
4. Freehold ownership possible
5. Landed ownership possible
6. International accessibility with strong financial market

Notwithstanding, the following has to be addressed:

1. Red Tape for transactions
2. Immigration Efficiency
3. Telling our story right

I am off to London next week for Malaysia Property Inc's initiative in an real estate exhibition in London. So far MPI has been sterling in its approach, though still very "association" thinking and not business minded, but they are doing a great job.

We have already registered buyers for St Mary Residences that we are launching next week there for E&O and this bodes well for the Malaysian Real Estate Markets.
