Fulfilling Social Responsibilities and Supporting Local Community Development

J&T Express continued to carry out social welfare actions in areas such as rural revitalization, educational public welfare, and post-disaster assistance. In Chongqing, China, the Company introduced drones for the first time to collect and transport navel oranges in mountainous areas, with a single drone providing a daily transport capacity of up to 10,000 kilograms, effectively reducing labor costs for fruit farmers. In Thailand, the Company partnered with the Department of Agricultural Extension to launch fresh fruit logistics services, facilitating the efficient circulation of agricultural products.

In terms of emergency disaster relief, the Company’s teams in various countries continued to participate in disaster assistance efforts. Following the fire in Tai Po, Hong Kong, J&T Express swiftly initiated a special donation of HK$10 million and delivered 300 sets of daily necessities to temporary shelters. After the floods in Indonesia, the Company’s Indonesian headquarters chartered flights to transport 13 tons of supplies to severely affected areas, supporting the affected population in restoring their livelihoods.

Improving Business Ethics and Building a Solid Global Compliance Bottom Line

In terms of business ethics and compliance management, J&T Express continued to improve its global governance system, which is coordinated by the Group headquarters and executed locally by subsidiaries, covering multiple dimensions such as anti-corruption, fair competition, and supply chain compliance. During the reporting period, the Company conducted special training on anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, and anti-corruption for directors and senior management, achieving a 100% coverage rate. It also carried out integrity education and training, covering over 89,000 participants cumulatively, and extended compliance requirements to the supply chain system, further solidifying the foundation for global operations.

Dylan Tey, Chief Financial Officer of J&T Express, stated: “Within J&T’s rapidly developing global logistics network, ESG has evolved from a concept into concrete operational capabilities. Over the past year, we have proactively explored green transportation transformation and the governance of new forms of employment, including advancing diversified low-carbon transportation solutions and establishing one of the industry’s first algorithm negotiation mechanisms. These relevant practices have received multiple industry recognitions. Looking ahead, J&T will continue to leverage technology to empower operations and let responsibility drive growth, continuously improving our ESG governance system and the quality of information disclosure to create long-term value for key stakeholders including global customers, employees, and communities.”

Real Estate Expert Howard Goldberg Details Coastal Rental and Multifamily Property Ownership in HelloNation

Published

The article explains how insurance costs, rental rules, maintenance demands, and seasonal changes shape coastal property ownership in South Florida.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should buyers know before purchasing a rental property or multifamily property near the beach in South Florida? That question is answered in a HelloNation article featuring expert insights from Howard Goldberg, Real Estate Expert with RE/MAX Consultants Realty 1. The article explores how coastal ownership affects daily routines, responsibilities, and long-term planning.

The article explains that owning rental property near the beach is not only a financial decision, but also a lifestyle commitment. While the scenery and walkability are appealing, owners often face ongoing planning around guests, vendors, weather, and property logistics. Multifamily property introduces additional complexity by increasing the number of tenants and systems that require attention.

One of the first considerations for coastal owners is insurance costs. The article notes that properties close to the ocean usually require flood coverage, wind protection, and higher deductibles. These expenses can rise sharply at renewal and may impact cash flow if not planned for. When multifamily property is involved, one change in policy affects several units, making financial buffers and consistent oversight even more important.

Rental rules also play a major role. The article emphasizes that South Florida cities often have strict requirements related to rental registration, tax accounts, inspections, and short-term rental regulations. In addition, many condo or homeowners associations add further restrictions, including lease minimums, parking limitations, and guest policies. Ignoring rental rules can result in fines or strained relationships with neighbors, making upfront research essential.

The article highlights how maintenance demands increase near the beach. Salt air corrodes materials, humidity stresses systems, and frequent storms challenge the durability of building exteriors. These factors create higher maintenance demands, which can disrupt weekends, stretch budgets, and complicate vendor scheduling, especially when guests are already occupying the property. With multifamily properties, shared infrastructure such as stairways and plumbing stacks can turn small issues into building-wide concerns.

While property management can reduce some of the daily involvement, it does not eliminate the need for owner participation. The article clarifies that owners must still review budgets, approve decisions, and respond quickly in case of emergencies. In South Florida, unexpected weather events or access issues may require urgent attention, regardless of whether a manager is in place.

The article also explores how personal use of a rental property presents challenges. Owners often want to reserve time for themselves, especially during peak seasons. However, holding dates back may reduce income, and using the property personally changes how it’s maintained and perceived. For multifamily properties, reserving one unit while others are booked may create inconsistencies that need clear policies to manage.

Seasonal changes also affect both income and operations. The article explains that winter often brings high demand but fast turnover, while summer may involve slower bookings and the need for more promotion. Owners should plan for vacancy periods, higher utility use, and variable staffing needs. Backup vendors for cleaning and repairs become important, particularly in larger properties with multiple units.

Before purchasing a rental property in South Florida, buyers are encouraged to weigh their time availability and risk tolerance against the demands of ownership. Understanding insurance costs, rental rules, and maintenance demands helps determine whether the lifestyle will feel rewarding or overwhelming.

Owning Rental or Multifamily Property Near the Beach: Lifestyle Considerations in South Florida features insights from Howard Goldberg, Real Estate Expert of Fort Lauderdale, FL, in HelloNation.
