With developments like the new casino in Ras Al Khaimah and expected population growth, the appeal is growing.

I own 4 acres right next to the Graton Casino  that could be my next project put in about 100 apartments and call it a day.. won't have great returns 5 to 6% but I will get them and not have all the stress and drama like what your going through...

Low HOA fees ($1000/year) and close to the mountains and casino.

Nowadays I could live off the income.

That's how I personally invest nowadays.

🤷‍♂️It seems like investors nowadays believe they are "smarter" and want to do it all themselves.Although I'm bias, I still believe this DIY approach to be a recipe for disaster for many.But who am I to judge?

Nowadays we've only been sticking to class A properties (avoiding super high-class) because they tend to attract A class residents :) 

Market is so constrained that it would have to be some horror movie type stuff to justify that kind of discount, and even then someone would still take it for 1/3 of that discount (at worst) nowadays

The data we have seen shows obviously Malls, Hotels, Casinos, Strip Malls as being hit the hardest. 

Just a heads up, though, finding those dream deals might be trickier nowadays, so be ready to invest a bit more upfront.Also Keep an eye on your budget as you scale up.
