There are a lot of owners that have great purchase prices and 3 to 4% Interest rates that bought 5, 10 or more years ago.If you want to jump into the STR market game now in competitive markets you better run your numbers conservatively and you need an appealing location and property to be competitive. 

Compare those owners with younger owners who have higher incomes and more desire to build large reserves for the future with the older folks who won't see the future and you can see the problem.

Has anyone worked with any of these companies and have any feedback or recommendations for others I should talk to?

Welcome to the site.

I've noticed a lot of hype around Dubai’s off-plan real estate market lately, with many people jumping in, often without a clear understanding of what makes a solid investment.

glad to hear of the deal.

Looking to connect with others in the area who are buying long term rental properties.
