Companies are looking to invest directly here and this is creating an increase to economic activities. Both commercial and residential properties are in demand, with the requirement to provide high standard accommodation for the increase in workers from international countries.
Off plan investment properties in Malaysia are hugely popular in the coastal resorts to the international buyer, who are securing impressive rates of rental returns as tourists choose to spend their time on the beautiful coastline of Malaysia, and who also want to receive high standards of accommodation. Currently investors can receive a healthy rental yield of up to 10% per annum.
