Dubai’s real estate market never seems to slow down, and that’s what keeps it so intriguing.

I used a hard money loan to purchase this off market deal.I rehabbed the upper two units within two and a half weeks and have a renter already lined up for one unit.

A few other houses (all single family houses) on the same street are on the market for rental and they (including my house) all get grouped and nestled under one cover listing as “units” of an apartment complex.

Unless you are sourcing properties yourself off-market, REI became much more challenging in 2023, and downright brutal since the start of 2024 here.   

Purchase price: $270,000 Cash invested: $54,000 A multi-family upper/lower duplex in Ankeny found off-market during COVID.

So they used the actual rented data of these companies to compare what rentals should go for in your market.

I am looking into my STR options but from what I have learned this is a overflowing market in the area and the vacancy's are increasing so I may look into mid term and long term only.

Low down payment AND it cash flows also AND buyer has title.Maybe I am asking too much, but I don't think so.Perhaps you just market to homeowners.

You could put most of your funds in the stock market and access them when needed for a HML.

In my market, I only have one vendor qualified for appliance warranty work, and the warranty companies paid him half his standard fee for each service call.
