Numbers, not promises.

The UAE is one of the most owner-friendly markets in the world. But not every property wins — the right one does. My job is to find it.

Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Two markets, two roles in a portfolio

Dubai brings liquidity, momentum and choice — from high-yield studios to trophy villas. It’s where you go for turnover and rental.

Abu Dhabi is calmer, greener and often better value on entry. It’s a play on stability and quality of life.

Asset types

For different strategies

Off-plan

Developer payment plans and growth to handover — but developer track record matters.

Ready, tenanted

Income from day one and clear numbers — less upside, more stability.

Short-let

Higher yield in tourist areas, but needs active management.

Trophy assets

Scarce villas and penthouses — a play on capital preservation.

Risks

And how I reduce them

Buying at the peak

I benchmark against DLD transactions, not developer price lists.

Weak developer

I work only with proven names and proper escrow.

Illiquid stock

I assess how easily you can exit the asset later.

Hidden costs

I model service charges and net yield, not just the price.
