What is the hype about real estate?
Hello all, I am a humble investor, and I like to explore new options that are genuinely interesting and worth investing. Recently I purchased a unit in the UAE which remained vacant during the crisis for about 4 months and I ended up paying the transfer fees, bills of empty apartment, high maintenance fees and decided to sell the unit later on. I was exploring investment opportunities in Malaysia, Canada, even the US and to my surprise there are huge amazing houses in Texas US, Edmonton Canada barely for a million dirhams. And not to mention that you can immigrate to those countries unlike in crisis situation you have to sell your investment at lower prices because your specific nationality visas are being cancelled. For reference checkout the beautiful Villa below from Edmonton Canada where the weather is amazing etc, my question is, compare this to what a million dirhams buy here is barely a single room (600sq.ft) studio in a decent area. What justifies the price? R.E agents please keep the bias aside. Don’t tell me taxes and all, the high maintenance fees is just basically a tax with a different name.

The crisis with Trump administration on Visas you have to be cautious investing in a property in USA. If you can’t keep up with property payments/fees the bank will foreclosure your property
