From Melaka to the Jupiter: My Vision of JLHM

August 16, 2025 by Jeffery Lam

From Earth To Jupiter HomestaySometimes I think back to the early days, when everything was beautifully simple. Just a few units, a handful of keys, and me running around like a one-man army. There was no “system,” no “roadmap”—only me, my phone, my stubbornness, and my promise to every owner: “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

Back then, if I had said, “Someday this will grow so big it will touch the sky,” no one would have believed me.

But here I am, saying it anyway.

🌱 From Squeaky Doors to Rising Empires

I started with squeaky doors, broken taps, messy check-ins, and late-night guest calls. I brushed toilets on my own, carried spare bulbs in my car, and checked every room as if it were my own home.

Slowly, brick by brick, sweat by sweat, something started to grow.

One unit became ten. Ten became Thirty. Thirty became sixty.

Now, 60 units hum every day under JLHM’s care—like little planets in orbit, each one alive, breathing, waiting for guests.

Where most people saw chaos, I saw possibility. Where others said, “Too many to handle,” I replied, “Not enough yet.”

🔥 My Philosophy: Bragging With Proof

People ask me: “Jeffery, how many units can you really manage before it all collapses?”

My answer is simple: I’m not building something to collapse—I’m building something to expand, forever.

Every message, every cleaner’s schedule, every QC inspection—these aren’t small things. They’re my oxygen flow systems. Just as astronauts need oxygen in space, JLHM needs flawless daily systems. Without them, we suffocate. With them, we soar.

So when I brag, it’s not empty words. Every owner who trusted me has seen the results: rooms cleaned, guests happy, problems solved, money in the bank.

That’s not talk. That’s proof.

🌏 To Imagine is to Conquer

What excites me most isn’t what JLHM is today, but what it can become.

I imagine a city where every building is alive, every home is connected, every guest is recognized before they even knock. A world where trust is managed not just by humans, but by a living ecosystem of AI, IoT, and seamless automation.

If hotels are old castles, then JLHM is building spaceships.

And spaceships don’t stop at airports—they fly higher.

🌙 My Eyes on the Moon

Sometimes at night, I stare at the Moon. It feels close, yet impossibly far.

And then I laugh, because in my mind I’m already managing homestays there.

Picture it: domes glowing under the lunar sky, guests arriving in space shuttles, oxygen machines humming in the background like air conditioners. Check-in kiosks where, instead of Wi-Fi passwords, I’m setting up oxygen allocations and gravity stabilizers.

And QC? My team won’t just be checking bedsheets—they’ll be checking oxygen seals, ensuring dome pressure is safe.

Because in the end, hospitality is hospitality.

Whether it’s a cozy room in Melaka or a lunar dome in the Sea of Tranquility, the mission remains the same: Make people feel safe. Make them feel at home.

🪐 Dreaming About Jupiter’s Moons

Sometimes, I let my imagination drift even further—beyond the Moon, beyond Mars, all the way to Jupiter’s moons. Europa. Ganymede. Places where sunlight is weak and ice covers ancient oceans, where humanity will one day stretch its reach.

You might say, “Jeffery, you’re crazy.”

But let me tell you—every great idea once sounded insane.
Airplanes? Crazy.
The internet? Crazy.
Letting strangers rent your house? Absolutely crazy.

Yet here we are.

So yes, one day I imagine JLHM running operations where communication to Earth takes 45 minutes, where humans can’t rely on instant responses, where AI and robots manage habitats entirely autonomously.

Instead of WhatsApp task lists, there’ll be self-correcting, self-reporting systems. Instead of cleaners, maintenance bots. Instead of keys, quantum ID verification.

And at the center of it all: JLHM’s spirit—a company that dares to believe nothing is too vast to manage.

✨ Why I Brag So Loudly

Some people hide their dreams, afraid others will laugh. I’m the opposite—I brag because I want the world to laugh.

Why? Because laughter today becomes applause tomorrow.

When owners read this, I want them to feel secure knowing JLHM doesn’t just think about next month’s rent—we think about the next century of human living.

When investors read this, I want them to realize this isn’t just a company—it’s a vision worth betting everything on.

And when competitors read this, I want them to feel the ground shift beneath their feet, because they know I’m not playing the same game they are.

🌌 Closing My Eyes, Opening the Future

When I close my eyes, I see it clearly:

60 units in Melaka twinkling like distant stars.

1,000 units across Southeast Asia glowing like constellations.

Millions of units across the world, shining like entire galaxies.

And above them all—the Moon, waiting. Jupiter’s moons, waiting.

Hospitality doesn’t stop at Earth’s edge. It never will.

Maybe I won’t live to see JLHM manage a dome on Europa. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that I dared to imagine it, to speak it into existence.

And if I can imagine it, then someone, someday, will make it real.

💡 This is why JLHM exists—not just to manage rooms, but to manage dreams, trust, and futures.

From Earth to the Stars.


Ready to join a company that thinks beyond tomorrow? Ready to be part of something that reaches for the impossible? The future of hospitality starts today, and it starts with us.

Why Your Property Earns 50 Percent Less Than What Your Neighbor’s?

July 20, 2025 by Jeffery Lam

Why Your Property Earns Half What Your Neighbor's Does

“Our previous management wasn’t right for us.”

I hear this every week from owners who finally admit their management is failing. They’ve wasted months hoping things would improve while their neighbors quietly earn double with proper management.

Here’s what’s really going wrong and why you need to fix it now.

The Five Red Flags That Cost You Money

1. Poor Revenue Management = Lost Revenue

Amateur managers change rates occasionally but miss the bigger picture. They might adjust for major holidays but ignore local events, competitor moves, or demand shifts. Professional operators monitor rates constantly – checking competitors daily, adjusting for weather patterns, responding to booking pace, optimizing for last-minute demand. The difference: Amateurs react after missing opportunities, professionals anticipate and capture them. If your manager can’t explain why they chose this week’s rate over last week’s, they’re not doing proper revenue management.

2. You’re Still Doing Their Job

Hired them to manage everything but still getting calls about broken air-con? Fielding guest complaints about dirty towels? Checking if they updated your calendar? This is the biggest red flag. Professional management means you forget you own an Airbnb. You should only hear from them for major decisions or monthly reports. If you’re solving daily problems, you hired someone to collect fees, not manage your property.

3. The Friend Factor

Your manager is your friend’s company? Husband’s business buddy? Family member who “knows about Airbnb”? Stop mixing business with personal relationships. Professional owners hire based on track records, not friendships. That awkward conversation about firing them costs less than months of lost revenue. Your mortgage doesn’t care about hurt feelings.

4. They’re Learning on Your Property

“Give us time to improve.” “We’re building our systems.” “Let’s try this approach.” Your property isn’t their training ground. Professional operators have refined systems, proven pricing strategies, and established contractor networks. They’ve made their mistakes on other people’s properties years ago. You need operators who hit the ground running from day one.

5. Reactive Instead of Proactive

Amateur managers fix problems after guests complain. Professional managers prevent problems before they happen. Amateur approach: Guest reports broken shower, manager calls plumber, guest leaves bad review. Professional approach: Monthly property inspections catch issues before guests arrive. The difference between these approaches shows up in your review scores and booking rates.

The Human Factor: Same Property, Different Results

I’ve seen owners ready to exit Airbnb because they thought the business didn’t work. Three months after switching to professional management, they’re wishing they owned more properties.

The reality: It’s never about your property’s potential. It’s about who’s managing it and what systems they bring to the table.

Why You’re Still Stuck

Contract excuses: “I’m locked in for 6 months.” Every month you wait costs more than switching.

Relationship guilt: “Don’t want to hurt feelings.” Successful owners hire based on results, not relationships. Your amateur manager won’t pay your mortgage when their management fails.

False hope: “Maybe they’ll improve.” Amateur managers don’t become professional through wishful thinking.

What Professional Management Looks Like

You experience: Growing monthly income, zero daily involvement, proactive solutions, strategic property advice.

You don’t experience: Constant questions, declining revenue, recurring guest complaints, feeling like you own a job instead of an investment.

Simple test: If you think about your Airbnb daily, your management is failing.

The Switching Reality

Month 1: Relief that someone competent handles your property
Month 2: Income improves with proper pricing
Month 3: You realize how much money you wasted
Month 6: You’re referring friends and wishing you’d switched sooner

The regret is always the same: “I should have done this months ago.”

Stop Making Excuses

The best operators in Melaka have waiting lists because they build business through referrals from successful clients. They turn underperforming properties into success stories regularly and know exactly how to position your property for maximum revenue.

Your property isn’t underperforming. Your management is.

Every month you delay is money walking away forever.

Professional management means partnering with an operator who has the skills and systems to unlock your property’s potential. The most successful owners didn’t get lucky – they found operators who execute strategies that work.

Stop choosing relationships over results. Stop hoping amateurs become professionals. Stop wasting money on management that doesn’t manage.
