I m in the same boat, doing some research and want to stay in Dubai with family, in near future. 

Their family has no desire to deal with the property.

If you have a lot of family in OK, that can be a great place to start assessing since you have dedicated boots on the ground, as well as a reason to visit.Don't overthink the analyzing of markets when you are still figuring things out.

This time you supposedly have the opportunity to invest in multii-family under development.

However, if there is not an emergency or immediate need, then we will do our research on quotes or take our time figuring out how we would do it ourselves and make the time to do it.

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I’m an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

Quote from @Geritt Shipley: Hello, I've got a single family home in Portland, OR and the tenants began hearing rats in the attic about a month ago.

I'm based in Connecticut and currently looking to get into multi-family properties.

I'm particularly passionate about emerging markets in the Multifamily domain.Outside of real estate, I enjoy time with family and friends.

Selling plexes isn't quite single-family residential, and it isn't quite commercial.
