How to Invest in Dubai Properties

If you have the cash, I suggest you pay for your new purchase outright. However, don’t be afraid to take out a MORTGAGE. Just be sure you fully understand what mortgage repayments are going to do to lifestyle and whether you are prepared to make some sacrifices to own your own property.”

He also said that make sure that you consider the many and varied easy payment plans that are currently on offer as many of these plans will save you considerable amounts of money.

Think carefully about location, surrounding infrastructure, construction quality and developer reputation and building amenities. Properties which are close to the beach, with a sea view, a golf course view or part of an iconic development such as Downtown usually provide good returns. If you have close access to the Metro, even better.
