Foreigners wishing to purchase property in Malaysia do have limits put on their purchases, but these aren’t incredibly restrictive and it is still easy enough to pick up properties in the country.

Foreign investors are allowed to purchase either: two residential properties, two condominiums or a condominium and either a two storey house or a bungalow. The value of each purchase has to be above RM250,000 (approximately $68,000/£34,000) – buyers can apply to purchase a third property, but permission must be granted first. Other than this, there are no other restrictions placed on foreigners and the same laws protecting domestic investments apply.
