This
book is a useful guide
for those building investors intending to invest in the Malaysia property
market. It is an essential guide for the first time investor wanting
to take the risk in property investment, where a lot of information
and knowledge about landed and high rise properties as well as investment
strategies and opportunities can be acquired.
Although
essentially a property investment guide, the individual house buyer
or consumer who wishes to buy a house or apartment for his or her
own use could also pick up a lot of good pointers from this book
before making a choice. A house buyer too, apart from wanting a house
which he/she is comfortable about in a location suitable to him/her,
will also want to ensure that his/her property will appreciate in
value in the future rather than be unattractive and in an unfavorable
location that stagnates or decline in value. Hence, it is not a bad
idea to give this book a going through if one is about to embark on
a house hunting expedition so as to avoid some very common pitfalls
and losing out unnecessarily financially.

I am a life
insurance man. There are some similarities between buying life insurance
and property investment. They both provide shelter for a family, one
in the form of protection and the other provides a safe place to live.
Both accumulate assets over a long period, and they are in one way
mutually exclusive and yet dependent on each other to co-exist. I
guess that is the reason why Renesial has asked me, an insurance man
for over 24 years, to write a few words for her book.
Like many
others, I too have made many mistakes in property investment. The
difference between Renesial and me is that, she learns from mistakes
in property investment, and I don’t. When I read her book, it
just gives me a “hard knock”. How I wish I have read such
a guidebook earlier. Then, I will not be in so much pain.
It is not
easy to write a book, and it is even harder to be able to share unselfishly
with others. Truly, there isn’t much of such publication in
Malaysia. Renesial’s effort come in timely, especially in the
current market. It is a great book one must not miss. It surely
can help many live life to the fullest. This book is also more
than a book to assist you in property investment. It is also a book
full of philosophical thinking and lessons in life to experience.
Let’s not stop our education, learn to laugh at ourselves and
always remember to have fun. I thank her for her sincere sharing.
Certainly many people will benefit from this book, one way or another.
All the
best to everyone.

This really is THE BOOK
when it comes to investing in property. Renesial’s book excites
me because every idea presented has been tested and tried by
her personally. We are getting first hand insights on property investment
never this practical! Even personally being involved in the real estate
business through the years, I find this book energizing.
Property
Jewels, if at all doesn’t help you make money through
property investment, will definitely help prevent you from losing
it! A must read!

Property and investment
in Real Estate has always fascinated me from a very early age but
sad to say I never got round to becoming a wealthy person owning property
simply because there was insufficient advice available then. People
were selfish at that time to share their knowledge when if comes to
creating wealth. However, today with the publishing of Property
Jewels, interested investors in properties will find it
easy to follow the step by step guide.
Property
Jewels is written in such a simple language and is easily
understood by any average person. If one is able to follow the simple
instructions and advice given by Renesial Leong, one will not go wrong
in their investment portfolio. I find the book very challenging
and mind stimulating. A must read book.

The openness of the writer in sharing her experiences in property acquisition
in the Malaysian context is indeed magnanimous. Readers, particularly
those in the property market, would benefit tremendously from her narration
of business success in real estate over a span of one-and-half decades.
Moreover, the writer's perseverance in making a niche in the property
market would delightfully serve in sensitizing people to be more aware
and committed to the purchase of property. This aside, Renesial's
candid accounts in her Property Jewels
would definitely inspire many in this trade to succeed with dogged determination.
The writing style is
pleasent and refreshing without the technical jargon. This shows that
one can write a book of this nature free from technical language.
The discourse is indeed meant for the layperson. The writer has consistantly
used communicative expressions that obviously have the effect in reaching
out to a wider audience. The analyses of the scenarios are direct
- driving home succinct messages for the potential buyers. The episodes
are concluded with 'learning experiences' that allow the reader to
mull over properties before acquisition.
Read it!

An enlightening yet comprehensive and pragmatic approach to property
investment that is highly relevant to the Malaysia context. Despite
the many pitfalls in property investment generally, the author had constructively
demonstrated that those risks inherent in property investment can and
certainly be managed. Her personally tried, tested and proven investment
decisions and techniques offer valuable and potentially effective investment
"tools" to investors to realize their ULTIMATE LIFESTYLE.
THIS BOOK represents
the timely works of an investor extraordinaire who had devoted 15
years of her life to bring to us this long awaited Property
Jewels.

Property Jewels serves as a wake-up call for "working class
people" like me, to make money work for us rather than we blindly work
hard for money. If you're going to learn about property investment in
Malaysia, get the best tips and guidelines from Renesial Leong!
