If you are contemplating investing in the Dubai Real Estate market, my book ‘The Intelligent Real Estate Investor’ will be a starting point to build the foundational knowledge you need. If you have already invested in the Dubai Real Estate market, then together with the knowledge and lessons they have already learned, this book will help clarify and build upon the fundamental principles of successful real estate investments.

Why did I write this book? I found that like in all other investment industries with real estate being no different there is a plethora of advice given by experts, colleagues, professionals, friends, market watchers, real estate agents, newspaper columnists, neighbors you meet in the elevator and so on. Some are coming from experience and their advice is sound. And some repeat what they have read or heard from others, which is not so sound.

The market has too much noise — buy, buy now, sell, don’t buy, wait 6 more months, the sky is falling, etc. — which does not allow for fair and reasoned judgement when investing in the Dubai Real Estate market.

​What are the standards to judge such advice? The benchmarks?

Investing in Dubai’s real estate market is serious business, although it is in my nature to present things with relatable or even comical flair. Half a million Dirhams — or more in most cases — is a lot of hardearned money. But, how do you make sound investment decisions that will serve as the foundational blocks to your Real Estate Empire?

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist. Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with 130 IQ – Warren Buffett

It is simple. You learn and educate yourself about the fundamental principles of real estate investments in Dubai and then apply them! And the fundamental principles are simple; more often than not, it is just about basic common sense, put through a sound framework! Make decisions based on these fundamentals and you will “win” virtually all the time.

​Let’s get rolling on to the fundamentals then…my book ‘’The Intelligent Real Estate Investor – Build your Real Estate Empire in Dubai with AED 500,000 or less’’ is out now.
