This article is contributed by Hamid R Azarmi, Head Of Business Development at Juwai IQIAs we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to revisit your financial goals and strategies. The beginning of the year offers a unique opportunity to set the tone for financial success, enabling you to achieve both short-termmilestones and long-term aspirations. Here are five practical resolutions to help you start the year on the right financial footing.Review and Realign Your Financial GoalsYour financial goals should evolve alongside changes in your personal and professional life. Take some time to assess your current situation and identify priorities for 2025. Whether it’s saving for a home, investing in a new market, or building a retirement fund, aligning your goals with your present circumstances ensures they remain realistic and attainable. Break larger goals into smaller, actionable steps to stay motivated throughout the year.Strengthen Your Emergency FundAn emergency fund is the cornerstone of financial stability. Aim to save at least three to six months’ worth of living expenses in a low-risk, easily accessible account. This fund provides a safety net for unexpected \ events like medical emergencies or job loss, ensuring you don’t need to dip into investments or take on debt. If you already have an emergency fund, consider increasing it to account for inflation or rising living costs.Diversify Your InvestmentsDiversification is essential to building a resilient portfolio that can weather economic uncertainty. In 2025, consider exploring new asset classes, such as international real estate, renewable energy projects, or even alternative investments like art and collectibles. Diversification across industries, regions, and asset types reduces risk while enhancing potential returns. Ensure your portfolio reflects your risk tolerance and long-term objectives. Adopt a Monthly Budgeting RoutineA well-structured budget is the foundation of sound financial management. Create a monthly budget that tracks your income, expenses, and savings. Tools like budgeting apps or spreadsheets can simplify this process, providing clear insights into your financial habits. Regularly reviewing your budget helps you identify areas for improvement, such as cutting unnecessary expenses or reallocating funds toward your goals. Stay Educated and InformedThe financial landscape is constantly evolving, and staying informed is critical to making wise investmentdecisions. Commit to expanding your financial knowledge in 2025 by reading industry reports, attendingwebinars, or consulting with financial advisors. Focus on understanding market trends, emerging investment opportunities, and regulatory changes that may impact your financial plans.Starting the year with clear, actionable financial resolutions sets the stage for success in 2025 and beyond. By reviewing your goals, strengthening your emergency fund, diversifying your portfolio, adopting a disciplined budgeting routine, and staying informed, you can build a solid foundation for long-term financial health. Remember, consistency is key—small, deliberate steps taken now will lead to significant progress by year’s end. Here’s to a financially prosperous 2025!Check out newsletter now!

Investors looking to purchase property outside their home countries will find a range of new trends and considerations that could shape their strategies in the coming year.Here Are 7 Key Insights to Navigate Global Real Estate in 20251. Focus on Migration CorridorsWith the rise of remote work, many individuals are seeking opportunities in countries that offer better quality of life, favorable climates, and vibrant communities. Key migration corridors, such as those between North America and Europe, or Southeast Asia and Australia, are becoming hot spots for investors. Understanding these trends is crucial, as properties in these regions tend to appreciate faster due to increased demand.2. Sustainability and Eco-Friendly InvestmentsThe global push for sustainability is influencing property choices. Investors are increasingly drawn to eco-friendly developments that incorporate green technologies and sustainable practices. Properties that boast energy-efficient systems, sustainable materials, and proximity to public transport are becoming more attractive, as they align with the values of environmentally conscious buyers and renters.3. Technology IntegrationThe integration of technology in real estate is reshaping how properties are bought and managed. Smart home technologies, virtual reality tours, and blockchain for secure transactions are becoming standard. Investors are looking for properties that not only embrace these technologies but also offer the potential for improved operational efficiencies and enhanced tenant experiences.4. Urban vs. Suburban DynamicsThe pandemic has altered the desirability of urban living. While major cities like London, New York, and Singapore remain attractive due to their economic opportunities, there is a notable shift towards suburban areas that offer larger spaces and more affordable living options. Investors should evaluate the potential for growth in suburban markets, especially those that provide easy access to urban centers.5. Regulatory Environments and Market StabilityUnderstanding the regulatory landscape of a foreign market is essential for any investor. Countries with favorable foreign ownership laws, transparent tax structures, and stable political environments are becoming increasingly appealing.Investors should conduct thorough due diligence to ensure that their investments are secure and compliant with local laws.6. Health and Wellness TrendsThe focus on health and wellness is influencing property design and investment decisions. Properties that incorporate wellness amenities, such as fitness centers, green spaces, and proximity to nature, are gaining traction.Investors should consider how these trends can enhance property value and appeal to potential tenants in a post-pandemic world.7. Diversification StrategiesIn an increasingly volatile global economy, diversification remains a key strategy for real estate investors. Many are looking beyond traditional markets to emerging economies that offer high growth potential. Countries in Africa and Latin America, for instance, are attracting attention for their burgeoning middle classes and urbanization trends.Click here to continue reading!Taco Heidinga, CEO and Founder of Propcoach International Inc. and Global Strategic Advisor at Juwai IQI, brings nearly 20 years of real estate expertise, training over 1,000 agents worldwide.

The country’s appealing property market and visa options are key strengths driving this achievement.Data reveals that over 9,800 holders of MM2H, PVIP, or Sarawak/Sabah visas have contributed RM5.1 billion (US$1.1 billion) to the economy through local spending. This amount is comparable to funding 51,000 affordable housing units.Foreign buyers, often part-time or full-time residents, play a significant role in boosting local economic growth and employment. Malaysia’s success in attracting these buyers is attributed to its stable property market and enticing visa programs tailored for businesspeople, digital nomads, and retirees.Mr. Ansari’s remarks have been featured by eight leading Malaysian media outlets, including Astro Awani, Bernama, and the New Straits TimesVisa Approvals and SpendingMalaysia’s visa programs, including MM2H, Sarawak MM2H, and PVIP, have seen growing interest, with 2,973 approvals in 2023 and an estimated annual spending of RM134,000 (US$30,000) per resident. These programs attract participants from countries such as China, the UK, Hong Kong, the US, and othersCompetitive AdvantagesCompared to its ASEAN rivals, Malaysia offers moderate financial thresholds for residency visas. Unlike some competing visa programs, Malaysia’s MM2H allows foreign residents to purchase homes. Additionally, the Sarawak and Sabah MM2H programs provide even more flexible requirements than the national scheme.Property Market StabilityMalaysia’s stable property prices make it a safe investment destination. By comparison, Thailand faces oversupply issues, and Indonesia’s Jakarta shows minimal growth. While Singapore leads in luxury property demand, its 60% stamp duty significantly deters foreign buyers. In contrast, Kuala Lumpur’s prime property prices remain stable, with slight upward potential.2025 OutlookIn his remarks, Mr. Ansari forecasted a 5% increase in foreign home purchases for 2025, which would translate to RM166 million in additional spending. Mainland China and Hong Kong are expected to remain the top sources of buyers.CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING!Dave Platter is Global Head of Public Relations for Juwai IQI and a Forbes Council Official Member.
