That is my personal go to.

Definitely a personal preference.

I personally see several issues with investing in Dubai real estate right now.

The other PM can be a fix-mindset type of person where they are not willing to share anything unless you have a property and are willing to sign a PM agreement in the same conversation. 

Better option for personal use but perhaps not rental. 

Personally I would want to manage the rental myself at least in the beginning to make sure you get good ratings.

Lenders often include a portion of the cash flow in the investment property as income to you personally to offset the DTI. 

I actually had a fire MYSELF, yes personally. 

What I personally do is link the working entities with my holding which is also based in Spain.

The biggest mistake I see out of state investors make is relying on others too much for direction and guidance instead of doing their own due diligence and building their own team that they actually meet and interviewRelying on one person who alleges that they have a 'team' built already that you can use as well can be a costly mistake.
