Specifically, I’d love to know what resources or tools you use to:Track market trends (e.g., shifts in pricing, demand-supply changes).Analyze local or regional real estate data.Identify key economic indicators impacting the housing market.Stay ahead of demographic changes or migration trends.Do you have any go-to platforms, datasets, books, or even strategies that have been especially valuable?

Are there particular tools or resources you recommend for finding and analyzing comps accurately?

Quote from @Michael Zimeri: Hi Marise,This is Michael from Coldwell Banker UAE.I have been in the BiggerPockets community for a few weeks now and from what I have seen is that this community and tools are mostly oriented towards the US market.Regarding analysis for Dubai, I would more than gladly guide you through the Dubai market if you wish!

So not so much different with CD or a bond ETF (6-7%).What we don't understand is why ; such real estate note issuer should collaborate with infamous-and-well-known serial-scammer ( that's very transparent and well documented that they are a fraudulent ).Usually in this circumstance, there may be some additional kickback / commision system that's we don't understood.But a business tha's promising 25% is 100% guaranteed to fail.

I hope they are an even better experience beyond the credential wall.Congratulations on joining, it's a great tool for leveraging your real estate investing.

Even more interesting/amusing is that one poster comes from the perspective of being a helpful collaborator trying to provide guidance while the other is angry and offended at the ignorance being bandied about.

While debt can be a powerful tool in real estate, over-leveraging can increase risks, especially in volatile markets.This strategy, when executed well, can be an effective way to build wealth through real estate.
