He said once you have a job that will last and the interest rates low, take advantage of the fact that lower interest rates will reduce your overall buy and will gradually increase your real estate value as the economy slowly rebounds.

Some rent is better than none, but you also need to figure out a way to increase rents gradually.

Ok, so the smart thing here would be to do a lot of reading, start out small and see how I do, and if everything works out gradually work myself up to multiple units.

@ Josh CaldwellFor about one and half years now have been working in UAE..Uae has a  very good real estate market with nice ROI...I intend learning from this market before I head back home but my challenges are :1) investment are on the high side and i am on a low income job 2)because am on a low income job , I can't have access to loan.3)am new around so I don't know much people.4)getting a local investors to learn from on weekend because I work from 5 to 5pm.Advantages with the Uae market:1) RE is very lucrative here2)due to the expo 2020 coming to uae, the region is developing very fast and looking to have more investors then3) due its stable economy among other countries in the middle estate, investors are attracted to d region.4) the youths are not really entrepreneur minded but are gradually embracing investment opportunities.5) easy access to funds/loan for locals with low interest rate and long tenure of 25 to 30yrs.So @ Josh Caldwell and other professionals, how can i work with this advantages to kick start my RE education and investment in Uae.

Raleigh has a great track record of gradually appreciating.

Gradually, the other 2-unit left two.

I can tell this is beginning to happen in my own career, and so I've been looking for alternate roads to gradually turn onto.This ultimately led me to the likes of REI and BiggerPockets. 

He then went on to tell me how I don't want to use property managers because they can be lazy and gradually loosen their grip on tenants.

This will allow you to gradually increase them over the next few years without them really feeling a pinch.However, if the rent disparity in what they are paying versus Market is significant, then that's on the previous owner for not properly managing the residents.

Instead, we had creeping gradualism.
