Though, it is always better to be "safe than sorry".

Jason Hartman and team referred me and is currently happy with them so I would say they're a safe bet.

There is no such thing as a "safe and stable" investment in real estate if you are going to be active or passive. you can buy the best property in the best area and have a tenant destroy the place or have it mismanaged that can cost you.Check out the syndication group on how many people were promised "safe" or guaranteed returns and lost little money to everything.

I will probably wait until the loan is finalized to do anything to be on the safe side regardless this time.

Industrial in an area like Chicago will be safe(unless a major event happens), even then those industries don't vanish easily.

CAn some one shed me some lights on how foreigner can invest in Duabi, which firms that I can go through, who are reliable and keep my investment safe and able to get some decent returns, and what are the tax consequences for earning potential from outside the country?

Again, this is with commercial/investment property; owner occupied or consumer loans may have legal issues rendering this technique non applicable.  

Looking back, that was just an amazing marketing technique but it piqued my interest.

Yes, I've seen them, **** work and they're falling off roofs, not safe.

I believe that is safe to say for most markets in the US regarding either SFH or MF.
