Hi everybody, The UAE has been recognized many times as one of the most economically stable countries in the world.

Qualified applicants that get priced out of rapidly improving neighborhoods will move into these areas but it seems like they aren’t biting.High quality, lower income applicants aren’t stupid and they won’t settle.If you think this area is a losing proposition, I would think about selling and not banking on hope.In regard to vacancy, I don’t consider any area that has average occupancy (economic and physical) below 95%You might pay more for a better area but time will treat you right and you’ll make a ton of money in equity over the long term.

My first impression is that your numbers in the current economic climate seem a little rosy.I also have friends that are builders and I try to stay in touch with them on costs as we mostly do "to the studs" renovations when we buy a place. 

A combination of extremely tough long term tenant protections and the economics of short term renting being a lot more attractive. 

Now if you have say 75+ doors and the economics make sense, you could hire someone on salary to be your dedicated property manager and specify exactly how you want things done, vendors to use etc. 

Rustic with lodges/cabins/restaurant, 117 acres

Population and economic growth, strong tourism, proximity to other New England cities.

Atlanta in particular has high co-living demand due to the economic growth and prevalence of padsplit in our market.

As important as due diligence, analysis, knowledge of the property type, track record of the syndicator, correctly predicting economic trends, and timing is, the number 1 way to avoid a devastating loss is NEVER INVEST MORE THAN 10% OF YOUR INVESTABLE ASSETS IN ANY ONE DEAL.  

This will be for my excellent service as a landlord.Just like a restaurant does when you have a party of 8 or more - they add a mandatory tip.Doubt there will be any laws against this, at least initially.
