This sounds like an incredible learning experience!

Do you think it's a good time to buy given all the regional changes Dubai is going through?

A lot of people spend their time doing this, but it's not a good use of time because it can not teach you anything relevant without seeing each one in person.

The data points to most markets have have a boom in housing supply (apartments, and SFH) giving the consumer choices to rent.

Over time, I learned a lot about what works (and what doesn’t) for new investors.1.

I have experience building my own DTC consumer goods type sites so I was planning to build my own.

Quote from @Fernando Martin-Gullans: Hey y’all, I’m a retail investor with 2 SFH rentals worth a combined ~$650k looking to utilize some of my stored equity to buy more out-of-state properties, but I’m not quite sure how best to proceed given that my interest rates are incredibly low (leaning me away from refinancing) and neither property is owner-occupied (which I believe prevents me from using a HELOC).

@Thomas Farrellmiscellaneous reactions-BRRRRs won't produce cash flow - they're an equity strategy, not a cash flow strategy-OOS BRRRR on your first deal will be incredibly difficult. 

We've averaged around 7% for mortgage rates for the past two years now…I think if we can see a settling somewhere in the 6% range, if not sub 6%, we will see nice consumer confidence not only for home values, but rent values as well.

Monty, take a small amount of time to work on your credit daily.
