Market supply and demand conditions vary according to place. Klang Valley, for instance, is still a good place for property investors to consider because despite heavy real estate buying and selling there, supply still hasn’t outpaced demand.

Consider also investing your money in places that aren’t heavily developed yet but have good growth plans in place: property in Klang Valley, such as in the Petaling Jaya area, is one good example. And be aware of rules governing foreign property ownership, because in some countries foreigners aren’t allowed to buy land or other pieces of real estate.
