I would say these are not deals for a retail investor.Regarding investing in syndications, its really a personal choice of being passive and trusting people when real estate is not your specialty - similar to stocks - I do not manage my stock portfolio because I am clueless on it and my wife is 1000x smarter than I am and manages it.

@Christine Aledam LLCs will affect your future loans/refinance so you can’t simply just buy in your name and operate as LLC.

Just refi back to 20 or 25 years so your P/I works versus the future property cashflow.I would not sit and wait for a higher paying customer. 

Hi Saju,Well it is an exciting market with lots of future developments happening, all aligned with the popular Dubai 2040 vision.As for how the market is for US investors, there is no local tax on capital gains, or tax on rental income.

Make that call—future-you will thank you!

By structuring deals with regular refinancing, you can unlock the equity in your properties and access capital for future investments.

One other point to add is considering donating appreciated stock.

There is also the added bonus of networking with future colleagues in the class, finding accountability partners, etc.I got licensed online with real estate express.

Meaning the at the end of the lease, the tenant has the option to buy (but not the obligation) whereas the seller has the obligation to sell if the the buyer chooses to buy (works just like selling stock options!)

And if the sponsor truly can't be bothered to answer your questions when they should be on best behavior and are most financially incentivized to do it (when trying to get your money), then they will have even less incentivized to do it, in the future, when there are problems and you have difficult questions to ask them.So personally I would consider that a red flag and move on to a sponsor who communicates reliably and on a timely basis.
