Dubai Property from an Investor's Viewpoint

Dubai Property market is probably one of the fastest growing property markets in the world, and has been for the past 2-3 years. Real Estate agents and agencies in Dubai are exploding all across and developments are emerging out of the desert at a pace that puts most cities to shame. Property prices as well have been attractive for investors over this growth period with many people experiencing returns up to 100% in a matter of two to three years. Dubai’s new property laws, introduced in early 2006, have put more stability into the property market by building confidence in property investors.


Dubai’s real estate market, however, isn’t for the novice investor. One of the most important factors to consider when thinking about buying Dubai Property is the developer’s reputation. Dubai’s property boom has left room for first time developers to attract investors with flashy pictures and 3D models of projects, but without any genuine experience in property development. Resultant is the structural faults that are frequently found by new home owners as they move into their new properties. As for real estate rental, the demand for rental properties in Dubai is so high that landlords can rent anything for near record prices as consumers have no alternatives. Hopefully the new Dubai Property Law will ease this in the future.

Property Managers Are Superstars

Being in property management is so easy and many encourage everyone to do it. Think about it, the long hours, the management of staff, keeping the property up, ensuring everything is functional, etc, is a blessing and everyone should do it at least once. Ok, well maybe owning a business is not for everyone. When you are looking at or trying to maintain your business, every decision that you make ultimately affects the bottom line.

Being in charge of the property is not an easy task. Most people do not have any idea on what it takes to run an efficient property. It is sure no one can imagine what their everyday life involves unless you have actually been the manager of the property. Most of us can attempt to guess what their job is like form day to day. They sometimes control the pricing of different facilities, the specials that run and the look and feel of the environment. Some managers have to ensure that their staff is trained and able to help each person that calls or walks through their doors. It is not an easy task being in charge of the property. There is more pressure on them than most jobs.
