I can or have already looked up citizenship, residency, taxation, crime, inflation, etc.

It’s about staying curious and paying attention to the way Dubai is reshaping itself, both for the residents and the global community watching.

For the $525K property, with the low mortgage rate(you will probably never get a such low rate), it might make sense to hold onto it for now, especially if you can still sell it as a primary residence within the next three years and avoid capital gains taxes.

I'm not sure that the property being perfect for your investment criteria makes it unique enough to warrant a judge forcing the sale, especially considering that it was not listed for sale to begin with and that you're going to be using it for an investment property not a primary residence.

Typically, we set up entities in the state in which the property resides.

Hence the lot on which the house resided was taxed at a 45% discount based on actual value, while the tennis lot was taxed at about 4 times what it should have been by value. 

@Kris TohovitisI wouldn't recommend using your cash to pay off the mortgage on your primary residence since you can likely get a better return on that money by investing it.What's your buying criteria for the multi-family property?
