4大重点要你如何成为一位明智的房地产投资者

4大重点要你如何成为一位明智的房地产投资者

不计成本 精心雕琢

现今的房地产项目已不再是枯燥乏味的居家单位，而是一个集合现代生活社区、优质生活品味和良好投资契机的房地产项目。从瓷砖工程、建筑工程到现在的房地产发展商，NCT 集团主席拿督斯里叶银财十分了解每一个建筑细节所扮演的角色。与其以较低的成本妥协于一个平凡的房地产项目，他宁可消耗更多资源与心思，全心打造一个足以让震撼全民且具有升值潜能的现代化屋苑，也因为这执念，他成就了得奖无数的云顶高原“玖霄明阁”（Grand Ion Delemen）和“玖霄明轩” （Grand Ion Majestic）。

云顶高原“玖霄明轩” 和 “玖霄明阁” 与知名云顶世界为邻。云顶世界从2013年开始推行云顶综合旅游计划，势必将云顶高原打造成集休闲、娱乐、购物和生活于一体的蓬勃城市，而这项计划更直接带动了整个地段的发展。NCT集团瞄准了云顶高原的潜在房产住宿投资和发展机会，便于2015年直驱云顶，发展集团首个高原房地产项目。

 

极具爆发力的潜力股

天高云淡风清，放眼望去，眼界格外开阔，更决定了一个人的座次。马来西亚旅游业一直都是极具爆发力的潜力股，与房地产结合后有着不容小觑的综合效应。旅游房产和旅游地点存在互惠互利的关系，只有稳妥的旅游地点，才能促成旅游房产项目的成就。身为一名谨慎的房地产投资者，我们应该如何选择万无一失的旅游房产呢？

  1. 清楚自己的经济能力

房地产投资是一门学问，想要有真正的利润，首先要先清楚自己的经济能力，了解自己有多少资金可以进行投资。倘若没有巨额的投资基金，选择低门槛的投资项目绝对可以减少忧虑。

  1. 选择优质地段

地段的好与坏足以影响房地产价格，尤其是旅游房产更会因为该景点的成败而决定其投资价值。“唇亡齿寒”的道理在旅游房产更为明显。云顶世界在过去数十年都为国家带来可观的收益，也是扬名国际的旅游地点，绝对是稳定和优质的投资地段。 

  1. 计算利润

以投资为主的旅游房产确保回筹的稳定性。假设你没有相关的产业管理知识和时间，一家信誉良好的管理公司就扮演了尤其重要的角色。

  1. 完整的设施

虽说旅游景点设施齐全，但房地产项目内的设施也十分重要。无论是屋内的装潢与家私陈设，还是项目内的共用设备，整体性的和谐感才能让住客留下深刻的印象。 

  1. 发展的全面性

旅游房产大多偏离主要行政中心。在这情况之下，精明的投资者务必了解并分析该旅游景点的人流量和住宿入住率。另外，倘若该地点拥有道路、学校、购物中心、医疗设施等设备和足够的工作机会，那便足以成就一个完整的社区，距离的因素也不足以威胁投资价值。

成为市场中独具一格的【白武骑士】之企业秘诀

成为市场中独具一格的【白武骑士】之企业秘诀

不进则退 

时代的变迁颠覆各领域的传统营运模式，当中也包括了房地产发展领域。 

传统的房地产发展买地、建屋、卖屋，以销售为核心。简单来说，房地产发展是一 项短周期、高周转的制造领域。可是对于经过三次全球主要金融风暴的拿督斯里叶银财而言，要成功战胜所有危机，甚至将危机化为转机，NCT 集团必须以全方位的角度出发，成为全能且灵活的房地产发展商，才能让集团在各个逆境中逆流而上，平稳地面对市场冲击，让股东、投资者、合作伙伴和团队们安心落意。

回顾近 10 年，各地房地产发展高歌猛进。在政府、国行和房地产发展商的积极推动 下，国民不仅得以实现购屋梦想，房地产更成为了其中一项相较能稳定升值，为投 资者带来可观回筹的投资项目。为了要实现集团十年目标，他务必在芸芸房产发展 上中脱颖而出。因此，拿督斯里叶银财和团队洞悉一切，以大数据分析并观察时下购屋者 的心态变化，为传统房地产发展行业注入创新因素，展现变则通，通则久的思维改革。 

这空前的思维改革不仅让马来西亚最大型搁置的房产项目获得了重生，也成就了荣获 最多大马纪录大全奖项的房地产发展项目—— “玖霄明阁”（Grand Ion Delemen）和“玖霄明轩” （Grand Ion Majestic）。凭着这与时并进的步伐和坚强不屈的精神，NCT集团在这充满挑战的时刻依然保持着战斗者的心态，战绩更是不落人后，同时也在不同州属推出优质的房地产项目，同时也配合政府举办社会公益活动，展现 “取之社会，用之社会“ 的企业精神。 

 

不相较，建立自我风格 

拿督斯里叶银财不与他人相比，但求超越自己。凭着个人的睿智和远见，他带领着 NCT 集团寻找与竞争对手的不同之处并加以发展，在市场上建立了属于自己独有的特色，更是本地市场最知名的白武骑士，没有之一。 

今后，拿督斯里叶银财会更积极投入房地产开发项目，同时更着重于时下购屋者的消费和生活模式，为冰冷的房屋注入温暖、灵动和生机。同时，NCT集团也积极在新时代中建立属于自己的定位，打造长期稳健发展的潜力及建立健全的长效机制，务求成为国内首屈一指的全方位灵活高端房地产发展商。

让烂尾楼起死回生的白武骑士 - NCT 高裕轩集团

让烂尾楼起死回生的白武骑士 - NCT 高裕轩集团

这些烂尾楼，复活了！

买房子是一般市民一辈子的梦想，但如果最后落得一个烂尾楼，真的欲哭无泪。这时候盼的，是一个能将废弃的楼盘起死回生的白武骑士。

 

终于，等到这一刻自己有能力置业了，付了订金，办完所有的手续，等待的就是开发商交付房子的时刻。没想到，开发商陷入债务纠纷无法继续投资建设，整个发展项目因此被搁置，买主成了最大的受害者！对普通百姓而言，幸幸苦苦工作一辈子就是为了拥有一个属于自己的安乐窝，但却不幸买到烂尾楼，赔上自己的血汗钱，美梦变成恶梦。

 

其实开发商在开发每一个项目都是看准有利可图的条件，照理来说应该会好好规划才对。但是一旦遇上债务、产权纠纷、工程质量不合格等问题，楼盘因此被迫停工。可怜的买主看着自己用血汗钱买的房子，却不能入住，真的让人感到心酸与不平，这甚至会祸害下一代，造成财务伤害。

 

复兴烂尾楼

有碍市容的烂尾楼难道就一直成为买主永远的伤痛吗？幸运的话，买主会遇上为一栋栋废弃楼盘重新注入生命的接盘者，或称作白武骑士。白武骑士最大的贡献就是本着人弃我取的精神，将废弃的楼盘起死回生，迎向新转机。

 

在马来西亚，NCT高裕轩集团是房地产开发企业里广为人知的白武骑士。集团创办人兼执行董事拿督斯里叶银财因着他对房地产的热忱及使命，以白武骑士的身份将废置楼盘回归到正常轨道。要做白武骑士谈何容易，除了必须经历法律障碍和与之前的买家会面，同时还必须承担复兴项目的大部分前期费用。若非因着一股热忱，恐怕也难以执行。

 

NCT高裕轩集团就是这一方面的领头羊，接盘管理的发展项目当中有Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi发展项目（现为Salak Perdana）、Billion Court发展项目（现为Ion Delemen）、Genting Valley Batang Kali发展项目（现为Ion Lake Garden），帮助许多人实现家园梦。

 

重燃希望

2012年，NCT高裕轩集团受托复兴雪兰莪州127.5公顷的Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi，这也是政府为复兴废弃楼盘所做出的努力。NCT高裕轩集团用了2年时间交付了714个单位，这就是现在的Salak Perdana。虽然曾经遭人弃置，但华丽转身后的Salak Perdana周围有10多家教育机构、临近吉隆坡国际机场，还有衔接的ELITE大道。Salak Perdana成功变成地点优越的投资项目，全靠敢于接盘的白武骑士！

 

接下来备受瞩目的是位于云顶高原的10英亩Ion Delemen项目，该项目的前身是在2002年被弃置的Billion Court发展项目。NCT高裕轩集团接盘后拆除了两座旧楼房，救回了376户受害业主，并请来了著名设计师重新规划豪华度假型开发项目Ion Delemen（玖霄明閣）。烂尾楼有了新东家，重燃买主的投资梦。

 

Grand Ion Majestic（玖霄明軒）酒店式公寓项目则是NCT高裕轩集团在云顶高原发展的第二阶段，总共涵盖1,668个高级公寓单位，预计2022年完工。公寓处于超过1,800米海拔的地理位置，环境清幽凉爽，变成了许多人的梦想家园。

 

今年1月，NCT高裕轩集团和顾问公司CRS Corporate Services Sdn Bhd（CRS）举行了支票移交仪式，退还大约1,550万令吉给Genting Valley Batang Kali发展项目266个2A和2B期受影响的买主。

 

Genting Valley Batang Kali发展项目位于Hulu Selangor，当初的住宅开发项目包括五个阶段（第1、2、3、2A和2B期）的665间独立式洋房，分布在205.1英亩的土地上。该项目于2000年开始，但由于现金流问题，建筑工程于2004年停工，此后就被弃置了。

 

买主苦等了这么多年，终于盼到NCT高裕轩集团担起了白武骑士的角色，重启建筑工程，该项目更名为Ion Lake Garden。Ion Lake Garden具有五个发展区域，包括双层排屋、半独立式户型和办公商店，预计在未来四年内完成。

 

这些烂尾楼在NCT高裕轩集团的整顿下宛如经历了凤凰涅槃的过程，重获新生；曾经焦头烂额的买主也得以解除危机。当买主们终于拿到了心心念念的新房钥匙，那种欣喜，相信笔墨也难以形容！

A Different Kind of Eid

A Different Kind of Eid

This year, Hari Raya will look a lot more different than the traditional ways it’s been celebrated throughout the years. The new norm of travelling restrictions and strict SOPs - no thanks to Covid-19, means that the usual big family gatherings and visiting traditions are out the window. That does not mean that you can’t still celebrate joyfully. We’re here to share how you can have an Eid Mubarak a little differently. 

 

  1. Technology is a friend 

The eid morning tradition of asking each other for forgiveness can be done over Facetime or a Zoom call. Technology has made it easier for loved ones far from each other to remain connected, so make full use of it!

 

  1. Give out E-Duit Raya  

The joyful act of giving and receiving duit raya (money packets), need not stop. Various banking and e-wallet platforms offers this service. The act is also sustainable and reduces waste of money packets too!

 

  1. Order your kuih raya and Hari Raya dishes online 

The world is now quite literally at our fingertips. Just because you can’t balik kampung doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy all the Raya offerings. Lemang, ketupat, rendang and all sorts of kuih raya are available for order and delivery nowadays. Check your local listings and support small entrepreneurs! 

 

Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir & Batin from all of us at NCT Group of Companies. Keep safe, stay home and have a blessed Eid with your loved ones!

How Covid-19 Has Changed Our Life Forever

How Covid-19 Has Changed Our Life Forever

2020 was a year we won’t soon forget. What started as a promising new decade has turned into an unprecedented era of pandemic. Even as you read this, more than half of the world’s population are stuck at home due to COVID-19. That’s around 4.5 billion people, or six out of every ten individuals. 

Even in Malaysia, the feeling of déjà vu is around us as we are in yet another round of Movement Control Order (MCO). The current phase of the MCO may or may not end soon. The decision will be based on data provided by the Ministry of Health. Whichever way the lockdown plays out, there has been one near universal aspect to the past year or so – it abruptly disrupted our daily routines and living arrangements in ways that would not normally occur.

Since the MCO began, Malaysians have shown just how creative and versatile we can be. Many of us have begun working from home. Some of us have completely change our career field, picked up new hobbies, and even joined in the TikTok revolution. However, these are more than just temporary muses. On the contrary, we should expect these to be the new norms of society. Because even after the MCO ends, life would likely never return to the way it was before.

Despite the tragic loss of life, the damage done to economies, and the impact on individual livelihoods, we believe that there are some positive aspects to this crisis. Those of us who spent the MCO at home surrounded by family probably now have a much deeper understanding and appreciation of those we live with. Along the way, we learnt things about ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses, limitations and capabilities. We developed our own systems to co-exist in the same space efficiently.

Companies also had a lot to learn from the MCO. All sorts of new policies that includes working from home (WFH) and flexi hours are now implemented to accommodate the imposed restrictions. Increased productivity were reported and a lot of inefficiencies in operations were realised and weeded out. While some businesses have since folded under the pandemic, many others grew resilient. They came up with ways to quickly pivot their businesses and open up new revenue streams to keep themselves alive. 

Along with the new normal came more people embracing cashless solutions and appreciating the time-saving value of virtual meeting. We have practically been forced to accelerate our adoption of digital technology in line with Malaysia’s agenda, which should further propel the country’s developments and innovations in theory. However, there are still gaps in society (like the B40 or rural residents) where this new technology cannot reach, so as we progress, we must ensure we address these gaps so no one is left behind in our new, heavily tech enabled world.

There was not a single nation in the world that was fully prepared for the impact of COVID-19, but the speediness and efficiency of certain countries’ healthcare systems played a huge role in mitigating it. Malaysia hasn’t been doing too badly herself, with our healthcare facilities and systems being lauded by foreign parties.

We have also seen an increased in hygiene awareness amongst the public. People are wearing masks and carrying hand sanitisers wherever they go, as well as washing their hands with soap more often. Commercial businesses like shopping malls, cinemas, theme parks and F&B outlets are implementing new SOPs which include all kinds of increased hygiene practices, not just in volume but in frequency too.

Before the MCO, who would have expected that logistics workers, food delivery riders and the likes would become essential workers who are keeping the nation’s economy moving and its people safely home? These were jobs people used to look down upon. But those of us who have seen them in action, relentlessly powering through the challenges of the pandemic to complete their work, appreciate them greatly. Healthcare workers have always garnered some form of respect, but the pandemic has shed light on just how crucial they are in this fight against COVID-19. They’re the ones constantly at risk of contracting the virus themselves as part of their jobs, yet they do it diligently, making sacrifices of time spent with family in order to aid patients. There isn’t much that us ordinary folks can do to help these frontliners except to avoid contracting the virus and spreading it.

Hopefully, the experience of MCO that we have all endured recently will make us all more appreciative of human contact. Indirectly this might also make us more tolerant, more respectful and more patient, which will also have an enduring effect on our society as a whole. Such attributes cannot easily be acquired through education but much more through life-changing experiences.

So, despite the significant threat from the COVID-19 pandemic and the many enormous negative aspects of it, there are some reasons to be both optimistic for the future and to be extremely proud of what the nation has achieved so far.

Online Shopping Tips

Online Shopping Tips

E-commerce around the world, across sectors, has surged this year as pandemic-weary consumers looked online for everything from hand sanitizer and groceries to skincare products and cleaning supplies. The pandemic has pushed more shoppers online, and this trend is likely to stick, even as brick-and-mortar stores open their doors again.

 

While many people think nothing of shopping online, most are not fully aware of the risks. You want your purchases to arrive on time, for the quality to be what you expect, for a proper warranty and the choice to return the goods you’re unhappy with. These handy tips may prove useful for your next online shopping spree.

 

  1. Shop with reputable retailers

It’s best to shop directly with online retailers you know and trust. Bookmark your favourite shopping sites to get there quickly and safely. Avoid typing the name of the retailer into your browser bar. A tiny typo could land you on a fake site that looks just like the real one. Make a “purchase” on an illegitimate site and you may unwittingly hand the scammers your credit card number and other personal info.

 

  1. Vet new-to-you businesses

Did you spot an amazing product from a new seller? Do your homework on any business you’ve never purchased from in the past. Look for online reviews and search the Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) website for complaints. Check the “contact us” page on the website for a legitimate address and phone number. Then take it a step further: call the business to verify.

 

  1. Beware of amazing deals

Did you spot an ad on Facebook or Instagram offering rock-bottom prices or an eye-popping offer of free stuff? Reports of lost money from social media scams have more than tripled in recent years. Remember, if an offer looks too good to be true, then it probably is. Compare prices before you buy. Unusually low prices could be a red flag that you’ve landed on a fake site that’s been set up to snag your personal information or steal your money.

 

  1. Don't browse on public Wi-Fi

Avoid shopping from public Wi-Fi next time you’re sipping a latte at your favorite coffee shop. The guy staring at his phone at the next table could be a hacker spying on your online activity.

And shopping online often requires giving out information that an ID thief would love to grab, including your name, address and credit card number.

 

  1. Use a VPN

If you ever do use public Wi-Fi, protect yourself with a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your computer and the server. Cybercriminals lurking nearby won’t be able to see what you’re doing or intercept your personal information. A VPN is the only way to shop online safely from public Wi-Fi in airports, cafes and other public spaces.

 

  1. Pick strong passwords

A strong password is like a secure lock that keeps cyber thieves out of the accounts where you store your private information. Never reuse passwords across sites. If you do, a data breach at one company could give criminals access to your other accounts.



  1. Don’t fall for email scams

You might get emails or texts offering amazing bargains or claiming there’s been a problem with a package delivery. Delete suspicious messages from unfamiliar senders. And don’t open attachments or click links in messages because they could infect your computer or phone with viruses and other malware.

 

  1. Pay with credit, not debit

Always use a credit card to shop as securely as possible. A credit card doesn’t give a seller direct access to the money in your bank account. You’re not out any money if a crook uses your account info to make a purchase. Your credit card company will ask questions, investigate the fraudulent activity and send you a new card.

 

  1. Keep an eye out for fraud

Check your bank and credit card statements for fraudulent charges at least once a week. Or set up account alerts to notify you of any new activity on your card. When you receive a text or email notification, you can check your account to make sure you recognize the charge.

 

  1. Mind the details

After you make the purchase, keep the details in a safe place. Hang onto the receipt, your order confirmation number and the tracking number the seller provides. If you have a problem with the order, this information will help you get the issue resolved quickly.

 

  1. Track your stuff

After you make an online purchase, keep tabs on it to make sure it’s headed your way. If the merchant refuses to provide shipping info or respond to your requests for the status of your order, contact your credit card issuer for help. They may remove the charge from your bill and look into the matter.

  • Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol).
  • Avoid contact with anyone who is sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

New Year, New Norm.

New Year, New Norm.

The Babylonians were the first civilisation to leave records of new-year festivities, some 4,000 years ago. The first time the word “New Year Resolution” appeared was in a Boston newspaper in 1813. Although the New Year was started as a celebration in the earlier stage of civilization, today, we not only celebrate the New Year, but we look for a better future, progress, health and wealth alongside it. New Year inspires us to set a goal, to plan, make a commitment and achieve all of our life aspirations.
