Property investment has always been looked upon as a safe retirement vehicle. Asean renowned real estate analyst, Colin Tan comment that Malaysia is currently one of the best countries to invest in right now.

He explained that Malaysia has one of the lowest real estate prices in the world and it is also relatively developed.

Colin compared Malaysia to most of the developed countries, where its real estate prices tend to be higher.

"Malaysia has already experienced growth and development. You cannot say that Malaysia is a backwards country at all. Yet, its prices are still lower than some of the emerging countries" he said.

He added that Malaysia is currently receiving a lot of foreign direct investments coming into the country and all it needs now is to move further to have a catalyst.

For those who wishes to start their investment journeys, Colin advised that the first thing to do is to educate yourselves in the property industry. Fresh bloods venturing into the industry would need to be able to analyse their cash flows and invest at the right time.

"If they are able to invest in something and they know that they can afford to hold this property even if there is a downturn in the economy; then, by all means, do it," said Colin.

"Buy something that is undervalued. Low valued properties are not always right. The undervalued property could also be a good thing. These are opportunities that young people can look out for", he added.
