Night Before the Exam dot com is a good state study test if they have it for your state.To be clear though, the majority of what you learn in the class is not used by residential real estate agents in practice.

Hi Saju,Well it is an exciting market with lots of future developments happening, all aligned with the popular Dubai 2040 vision.As for how the market is for US investors, there is no local tax on capital gains, or tax on rental income.

I’ve never done seller financing, but it’s the only way the deal really work for me.

Can you take it to the city to get it permitted?

And had "only" 40% equity stake, partners with the other 60%, but via doing value-add each is at or near infinite rate of return (ie zero or near 0 capital into it personally). 

Hey @Ruben VanDusen,I'll answer your questions in reverse as it makes more sense that way. - What systems/software do you recommend to use to determine the markets to invest/buy into?

It's tax deferred or tax free in a Roth. 

@Deborah Wodell: for me it really comes down to deal flow and returns.  

If you have a relationship with the seller, if the property is fairly priced, if the seller is motivated, and you identify it as a deal, then you can send an LOI after the first call.

It looks like you are in Buffalo, NY as am I.
