It seems there’s a common misconception largely influenced by social media, online courses, and influencers who oversimplify the process that real estate is an easy, passive way to generate income with minimal effort.

I live in Dubai and I also invested a bit in the US over the past few yearsBut I was interested to continue investing in Dubai , maybe at least get a few rental properties to generate some cash flow.i would be interested to discuss with anyone who has similar interest or who has been successful in this ? 

 just start generating leads and start talking to people and when you’re not doing that educate yourself also hire a mentor just basically get active..

You are like many others who are getting started and unfortunately your generation is screwed because of the amount of spending is older generations have done and put the debt on you which also has led to record inflation.All you can do now is plan for the future and don’t force things but invest wisely when the time is right.

And, if you were able to generate $500/mo cash flow as Scott suggests, his method would not replace your income: if you could do only 3 properties a year that would net $1500/mo cash flow and it would take you 10 years to scale it to $15000/mo.

My overall goal is to generate monthly cash flow, and my current property might be a better rental option since it has equity.I’m also considering starting a business and purchasing the next property in the business’s name.

You will most likely not be able to get a LTV based on buyer generated pro forms future projections.

This is where if you're very advanced as it relates to social media trends and creating compelling videos you have an opportunity to generate some eyeballs. 

What do I need to do to generate leads and close deals?

Government assistance/tax credits are of course a consideration that is factored in to the cost/benefit analysis of any form of new energy generation, as all forms of energy are heavily subsidized and always have been, long before solar entered the equation.
