I can see how starting with a 4-plex could provide better returns and learning opportunities without an overwhelming jump in complexity.

@Sharon Porter,Investing in a state-controlled property like this can be an opportunity, but it's critical to understand the legal and logistical nuances.

Thanks,BrettLocal PM here - happy to help identify investment opportunities, provide investment analysis and connect you with contractors, agents, lenders etc etc. kindly let me know and I'll help in any capacity I can.

The opportunity cost of losing potential market gains in your retirement fund should also be considered.

It sounds like you have a great opportunity to maximize the value of the property with the right investment.

With its strong demand for housing and rapid growth in various neighborhoods, you’ll find plenty of opportunities.

@Troy ParkerCongratulations on the renovations and your new job opportunity!

I’m hoping to learn more about the industry, its dynamics, and explore potential opportunities for collaboration and growth.Totally understand that nothing in this field comes for free, and I’m more than willing to share my expertise (tech related) and provide support wherever our skills and goals align.Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully connecting soon!

I'm also looking at opportunities in central FL, and Ocala was on my radar.

But dubai is a city full of opportunities so dont base your decision purely on my thoughts.good luck with your decision
