Anyone Can Start A ‘Homestay’ Business Without Ever Owning It

Written by Zainal Zikri & Nasuha Aiedn

The short stay home business or homestay has been around for decades. People have rented out their rooms or properties for short term stays as a full-time business or just to make secondary income.

The arrival of Airbnb in 2008 changed the industry forever. Here you had a platform that could list these properties and be seen by millions all over the world. During the early days, you had entrepreneurs making millions from just renting properties they own or don’t even own! Those days are gone as the industry is more regulated and more people are involved in this business. Nevertheless, it is still a profitable business if you do it right.

MyRehat will share the overall process of how to start this business. MyRehat, like many entrepreneurs, wanted to be an accommodation specialist without ever owning any of these properties. Here are the steps we took for our homestay business.

Identify the Location

The location is the most important factor when setting up your homestay business. All the research you can do online before you actually visit the site.

You can browse these websites iProperty , PropertyGuru, Speed Home and Mudah.my , to identify the properties. For us we only operate City centre properties and those properties less than 45 minutes from our base of operations.

For example if you live in Kota Damansara you may want to target properties near you but you can also do city centres like KLCC or Bukit Bintang.

Next, you can check the popularity and selling price of your chosen location in booking sites known as Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) such as Airbnb, Agoda, Traveloka and Booking.com whether it is in a high demand area or not. If those OTAs show the location has many homestay units within the area, this means the area is popular and in high demand.

Target Fully-Furnished Units

The fully furnished units means you don’t need to hire Interior design, buy furniture, put in kitchen cabinets, have a Smart TV and everything else needed for a home. You can start operating your units within a 2 week time frame after obtaining it.

MyRehat prefers units that used to be operated as a homestay as you can literally operate the unit the next day. The only thing that MyRehat has to add for these units is Netflix. As everything else from bedsheets, kitchenware and internet are all there. Keeping your cost low is important in this business.

Rental or Revenue

Once you have identified the unit, start negotiating the payment terms. In this business, there are two methods of payment. Fixed monthly rental or revenue sharing.

Revenue sharing is a method whereby you agree to share the profit and operational costs with the owner of the unit. Here is the formula to calculate the Net Profit for Revenue Sharing Method:

Step 1: Revenue (–) Platform Cost = Gross Profit

Step 2: Gross Profit (–) Expenses = Net Profit

Step 3: Split the Net Profit =

70% (Owner)
30% (Operator)

Here is an example below:

Step 1: RM4,000.00 (Revenue) (–) Agoda Charges 12% Commission (Platform[OTA] Cost)

= RM3,520.00 (Gross Profit)

Step 2: RM3,520.00 (Gross Profit) (–) Expenses RM600 [Utilities, Maintenance, Wifi etc]

= RM2,920.00 (Net Profit)

Step 3: RM2,920.00 (X) 70% Owner

= RM2,044.00 (Net Profit for Owner)

RM2,920,00 (X) 30% MyRehat

= RM876.00 (Net Profit for MyRehat)

Ideally for your business, best is revenue sharing, however this method may not be acceptable to all owners.

Unit Photography

First impressions are very important to capture people’s eyes and attention. The photos of the listings can make or break the chances of you getting bookings. Hiring a professional photographer is highly recommended. The professional photographer will take the pictures from various angles with good lighting. Plus, they will cover every appealing aspect of your property. High-quality photos will make the unit stand out among your competitors

The market rate for photography is between RM250 to RM400 for a unit. This again depends on your negotiation skill to get it lower. If your photographs are poor quality, no marketing efforts will be enough to generate business as impression matters.

Listing on an OTA

OTA is a web-based marketplace that lets customers explore and book travel goods and services directly via travel suppliers, such as hotels, flights, rentals, tours, cruises, and activities.

Airbnb, Traveloka, Booking, Agoda and Expedia are the most well-known OTA. You can start with Airbnb first then proceed with others as you gain more experience in the business.

Once listed, monitor it constantly. Make sure you get good reviews and adjust your prices accordingly to low and high seasons. Reviews are important as people will book based on reviews.

This is an overview on how we started. This works for us may not be for you. Use it as a guide. MyRehat will be publishing a series of articles on the homestay business. Watch out for the next one, in the meantime check out the units on our site for ideas on how to start your homestay business journey.

Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, VIU, Apple TV : Which Streaming Service Platforms is the Best for You.

Written by Nurul Fadhilah

Follow us on Instagram and subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest updates on MyRehat.

Streaming is a method of viewing a video or listening without actually downloading the media. The first popular streaming service was YouTube which began in 2005. In fact Malaysia’s first streaming service, tonton was launched in 2010 and it was launched before Amazon and many other streaming services. Malaysia Boleh 🙂

On 1^st June, Disney+ is officially in Malaysia under the name Disney+ Hotstar officially launched its service in Malaysia. Since there are many streaming service platforms right now, I’m pretty sure it’s hard to choose which one to subscribe for. The important thing people look for in a streaming service are content and price.

There are some popular streaming service platforms such as Netflix, Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. There are also some free ones but with advertisements such as tonton, VIU and WeTV but you can pay for an ad free stream if you wish.

Below are popular streaming services to consider.

1. Netflix

Netflix is the most popular streaming service platform internationally and one of the most popular in Malaysia. There are new TV series and movies every month on Netflix. Netflix’s range of shows from anime, documentaries, Netflix original series or movies, Korean dramas and much more reflects its dominance in the world of streaming. Some of the local films and series shown on Netflix are Paskal, Lagenda Budak Hostel, Hantu Kapcai and many more.

Netflix has 207.64 million paid subscribers worldwide as of the first quarter of 2021.

Netflix package : Mobile (RM17 / month), Basic (RM35 / month), Standard (RM45 / month) and Premium (RM55 / month). Each package offers different features but you can cancel it at any time. You also get the first month free as a trial.

Mobile	RM17 / month
Basic	RM35 / month
Standard	RM45 / month
Premium	RM55 / month

2. Disney+ Hotstar

Disney+ Hotstar is a new streaming service platform in Malaysia and one Malaysians had been eagerly anticipating for. Disney+ has content that is more suitable for kids to watch. It will also have more local series and films! Some of the old Disney series such as Hannah Montana and The Wizards of Waverly Place are also in it. To Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans, there are a huge amount of MCU movies and TV series. Some of the local films and series on Disney+ Hotstar are KL Gangster, Istanbul Aku Datang, Munafik and many more. There are also local cartoons like Upin & Upin and Ejen Ali! Yeah!

Disney+ Hotstar had around 28 million paid subscribers, taking the global subscriber base of Disney+ up to 94.9 million.

There are two ways to subscribe to Disney+ Hotstar. You can subscribe to it directly on your devices for RM54.90 for three months or on your Astro package as a Movie Pack customer with an additional RM5 on your Astro fee.

Devices	RM54.90 / 3 months
Astro customers	RM5 addition to Astro fees.

3. Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video is not popular in Malaysia but has many subscribers in North America. It has many series and movies from Westerns to Tamil. It also has anime and documentaries. Amazon Prime Video and Netflix are similar but Netflix still has more content at the moment. Amazon may rival Netflix one day as it’s in talk to buy MGM the studio that produces James Bond movies.

In January 2020, it is said that there are 8 Malaysian films on Amazon Prime Video, that is the popular and award-winning titles : Mukhsin, J Revolusi (Jrevolution), Kampung Drift, Songlap, KIL, Chow Kit Balada Pencinta (A Lover’s Ballad) and Anak Jantan (The Son).

Amazon Prime currently has over 150 million subscribers around the world.

Amazon Prime Video charges you in USD ($5.99) but roughly if you exchange it into MYR, it will be RM25 / month. There will be a month free trial once you subscribe to it. You can also cancel it anytime you want.

Monthly

$5.99 (RM25)

4. VIU

VIU is for those who love Korean dramas and movies. There are plenty of them in VIU. Even the latest ones such as The Penthouse Season 3! Most of their content is from Asia : Korea, Thailand, Japan, China and Indonesia. It also has local series and movies in addition to anime too. It first started in Hong Kong in 2015. For hardcore Korean dramas fans, this streaming service platform is one of the best! Some local series and films on VIU are Black, Budak Tebing, Kampung Kolestrol and many more.

VIU announced it has reached 45 million monthly active users and 5.3 million paid subscribers. You can watch it for free but it comes with advertisements. You can subscribe for one month (RM12.90), six months (RM48) or a year (RM88). That depends on you. You can also cancel it anytime you want.

Basic	Free (with advertisements)
1 month	RM12.90
6 months	RM48
12 months / 1 year	RM88

5. Apple TV+

This is specific to iOS users. Most of their content is American-based and a few non-American ones. They have Asian series or movies, though very limited. They have their own original production under Apple TV which produces tv series, movies and documentaries. They have no Malaysian content on their platform.

Apple TV+ has 40 million subscribers by the end of 2020.

You can get Apple TV+ free for a year, if you buy certain Apple devices! The price is RM19.90 / month and if you want to subscribe for a year the price is RM199.90. You can try for 7 days free for a new account.

For new Apple devices	Free for a year
For new account	Free trial for 7 days
Monthly	RM19.90
12 months / 1 year	RM199.90

So in the end, there are no best streaming service platforms. It really depends on you and what you want (plus if you can afford it). At MyRehat Netflix is available at all our units in Regalia and Anggun Kuala Lumpur. Book now to enjoy Netflix for FREE.

Happy watching!

8 Hari Raya Heritage Dishes

Written by Nasuha Aiedn

Follow us on Instagram and subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest updates on MyRehat.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri, or also known as Hari Raya Puasa is one of the religious holidays celebrated by Muslims in Malaysia and all over the world. This festival marks the end of Ramadhan, the holy month of fasting, which is considered a blissful occasion as it signifies a person’s victory and accomplishment in obedience and self-resistance.

Aidilfitri 2021 will be the sad Raya for all of us. Most of us are stuck and can’t go back to their hometown due the Movement Control Order (MCO). You could say ‘Raya is cancelled’ and no baju raya because you don’t have the mood to celebrate, right? What is Raya without our parents, our big family and friends? This is really disheartening for all of us. I really hope this will be last MCO in Malaysia!

Despite the gloom, we still have our Raya foods. I can say that no one can resist it! Imagine your table full of cookies, candy and traditional delicacies.

So, what are you waiting for, lets diggin’!

1. Beef/Chicken Rendang

Rendang is the King of Hari Raya foods, the most dish of this occasion. Do you know that Rendang was declared by CNN as the “World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods”? Rendang has a rich, savoury gravy that has been infused for hours with aromatic spices and coconut milk. This dish is often prepared with either beef or chicken, but if you’re lucky you can find even Cockles (Kerang) Rendang.

2. Ketupat Nasi

While Rendang is the King, nothing symbolizes Hari Raya more than Ketupat, one of the must-haves. Ketupat Nasi is rice boiled in a diamond-shaped pack of woven palm leaf strips. As it cooks, the rice grains would expand to fill the pouch and the rice becomes compressed into soft cakes. It must be peeled, cut into pieces, and eaten with dishes such as Rendang, Serunding, Kuah Kacang, Kuah Lodeh, and others.

3. Ketupat Palas

Ketupat Palas is made from glutinous rice (or can be filled with black glutinous rice) and it is wrapped in triangular shape using Palas leaves. Same as the Ketupat Nasi, it must be peeled and served with other Raya dishes. Some people would add beans like soybean or black bean.

4. Lemang

Like the Ketupat Palas, lemang also is made from glutinous rice. Lemang comes in a hollowed bamboo tube with glutinous rice, coconut milk, salt, and banana leaves. The banana leaves would prevent the rice from sticking to the bamboo tube. Then it is roasted over fire for a few hours.

5. Kuah Lodeh/Lontong

This dish is a combination of ketupat nasi or nasi impit and creamy coconut-based broth with a variety of veggies like eggplant, green beans, carrot, and others. It also has tofu, tempe, glass noodle, tofu skin and black fungus. The use of turmeric would make the dish yellow-ish, while the use of chilies and a bit of spice would make it spicy.

6. Dodol

This popular sweet treat for Hari Raya. Made from coconut milk, brown sugar or gula melaka and rice flour. These ingredients are cooked together for up to nine hours and the cooking process involves continuously stirring the sticky mixture in a hot wok. This dodol is sticky, chewy and sweet. The dodol can also be in durian and pandan flavors.

7. Satay

Satay is something can be found normally year-round. Still, you can find this dish in any Raya open house. Satay is meat skewered on bamboo stick that is grilled over a blazing charcoal fire and served with “kuah kacang” sauce, chunked cucumber, and sliced onions. Don’t forget the ketupat nasi too. Meat options may include chicken, beef, liver and mutton.

8. Serunding

Serunding or the Malaysian Meat Floss can be made from any meat like beef, chicken, and fish. The meat is seasoned with spices and cooked until dry to preserve texture and aroma. This dish is often served with ketupat nasi, ketupat palas and lemang.

Ahhhh now I am famished and starting to crave for these Raya dishes. Haih… I can’t wait for Raya, to sit down and devour my Raya foods!

After all food is the only thing that is going to make this Raya better!

If night photography is your thing, then Saloma Bridge is the hottest night spot in KL for 2021! After taking pictures of another night icon, the PETRONAS Twin Towers, getting there is easy as the bridge is located at the back of Menara Public Bank. Going to Saloma is approximately 10 minutes walk from the front of the PETRONAS Twin Towers.

About Saloma Bridge

Saloma Bridge is 69 metres (226 ft) combined pedestrian and bicyclist bridge across the Klang River in Kuala Lumpur. The purpose of this bridge is to connect Kampung Baru and Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC) as it will only take seven to eight minutes to get from one end to the other.

The bridge’s architecture is inspired by the sireh junjung (betel nut leaf arrangement) concept, which is an integral part of a Malay wedding. The concept of this bridge is also similar to the Bridge of Peace in Tbilisi, Georgia where the LED lights illuminate to change patterns from time to time. The lights of the bridge change for any celebration or holidays which Malaysia has many!

Saloma Bridge is the most exquisite pedestrian bridge ever built in Kuala Lumpur and is already a popular tourist attraction in KL City nightlife.

Laksa: The Bowl of Malaysia Goodness

Written by Nasuha Aiedn

Follow us on Instagram and subscribe to our Telegram channel for the latest updates on MyRehat.

What is the reason you leave your home, your beloved country to travel all around the world? You leave and voyage all over the globe. Most of the tourist and traveller has the same reasons which is learn the culture and challenging their self for something exciting and different. One of the reasons I travel is for food. To experience different tastes of the world. As a Malaysian I say we have some of the tastiest in the world.

A dish that has gained popularity worldwide is Laksa. Do you know that we have different kind of Laksa? We have Laksa Johor, Laksa Kedah, Laksam or Laksa Kelantan, Nyonya Laksa, Assam Laksa and Laksa Sarawak.

This bowl of goodness is worth of every slurp. These Laksas can be eaten at street stalls to the fancy dining. The word Laksa, comes from The Sanskrit word “Lakshah”, meaning a hundred thousand of ingredients (or types).

Laksa is a popular Peranakan spicy noodle soup and it is a fusion of Chinese noodles and Southeast Asian curries.

Assam Laksa

Assam Laksa also called as Laksa Penang, or Penang Assam Laksa. This type of laksa is from Penang but you still can easily find it in almost any other Malaysian state. Assam Laksa is spicy and sour. The sour flavour originates from the asam jawa or tamarind and used in the soup stock, along with the shredded fish and the blend of shallots, turmeric, lemongrass, and chilies. Assam Laksa is served with the thick rice noodles, then garnished with cucumber strips, thin-sliced onions, mint leaves, chopped pineapples and some red chilies. For a stronger flavour, some people would add another spoonful of prawn paste to make it more ‘kick’.

FYI, Assam Laksa are being listed among the top 10 best foods of the World’s 50 Best Foods drawn up by CNN, the US TV network. Assam Laksa are ranked at seventh place. So, can you imagine, how good is this?

You should try this laksa at Air Itam Assam Laksa. One of the most popular places at Penang Island.

Address: Jalan Pasar Pekan Ayer Itam, Georgetown, Pulau Pinang 11500.

Laksa Kedah

This laksa is quite similar with the Assam Laksa. It has the same ingredients but with herbs and vegetables such as daun selom, ulam raja and pucuk gajus which are popular in Kedah. The broth is made from mackerel or sardines, and tamarind. Laksa Kedah also served with the thick rice noodles.

Laksa Johor

In the state of Johor, Laksa Johor is served with spaghetti. The fish broth has a thicker consistency. This laksa is served with various types of greens such as cucumbers, long beans, laksa leaves and bean sprouts. And do you know that some Johorean eat this laksa with their hands?

Laksam or Laksa Kelantan

Laksam is typically found in east coast states of Kelantan and Terengganu. This fish-based broth is creamier and slightly sweeter. The laksam is served with the flat rice noodles, that are made from rice flour, water, and salt. The mixture is steamed, then rolled, and finally cut them into small bite-sized pieces. This dish is garnished with the ulam-ulaman such as long beans, cucumber, bean sprout, torch ginger flower (bunga kantan), Vietnamese coriander, and cabbage. Lastly, do not forget a spoonful of sambal at the top of it!

If you are in Kelantan, you can try this laksam at Restoran By-T Laksam.

Address: Jalan Raja Perempuan Zainab II, Kampung Belukar Lanjut Kumumin, 16100 Kota Bharu, Kelantan

But you also can get Laksam at Warung Kak Na Nasi Kerabu in Bandar Tasek Selatan.

Laksa Sarawak

Laksa Sarawak are originates from the state of Sarawak. This dish is dried shrimp-based broth that served with thin rice vermicelli, shredded omelette, shredded chicken, prawns, and fresh coriander. The broth is made from dried shrimp paste, garlic, chilies, lime juice, coconut milk, and some tamarind.

Just for some extra information, late Anthony Bourdain once describing this dish as the ‘breakfast of the Gods’. He said, “Wow, I almost said yummy there. What the f**ck is happening to me?”

If you are in Sarawak, you can get the laksa at Poh Lam’s Laksa at Chong Choon Café and Choon Hui Café

Address: 331, Jalan Abell, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak.

You also can get the Laksa Sarawak at 7th Mile Kitchen at Kelana Jaya.

Address: RG 24, Pangsapuri Kelana Sentral Jalan Bahagia, Jalan SS 6/8, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Nyonya Laksa

Nyonya Laksa is a coconut milk and seafood-based broth that originated by the Peranakan community, Melaka. The gravy is creamy, sweet, and mildly hot. It is made with coconut milk, prawns shells, chicken bones, etc. This dish is served with the thick rice noodles, then topped with bean curd puffs, bean sprouts, prawns, sliced fish cakes, and hard-boiled eggs.

Nyonya Laksa are everywhere. But if you are at Melaka, you can go to Calanthe Art café.

Address: 11, Jalan Hang Kasturi, 75250 Melaka.

Be right back! I’m going to the market to get the ingredients, because writing this article makes me crave all these laksa!

So, what are you waiting for? Go catch your flight now! (or at least wait ‘til this CMO end).
