I don’t like real estate but Dubai is the only place I would buy property in. No taxes and it’s the only major city that’s looking uphill.

come on, how could you not. YES, taxes on real estate are a big issue, just be sure to cover that in your rent/lease or sale. i guess you mean for personal living.

I live in Abu Dhabi and I must say that the difference is mind-blowing. I get 5x my money in Abu Dhabi and there is a rent cap of 5% vs the premium areas in Dubai that have gone up by 30-100% recently. Abu Dhabi is an undiscovered jem. Yes, more quiet and not as flashy, but to me those are pros, not cons.

Just came back from AD. Dubai is clearly more attractive and more "western", with stunning beaches. AD needs to catch up by a lot but that's why it's rather an undiscovered gem and property prices will catch up once the work there is done.

9:57 I saw some of your EA videos recently, man, you have TOTALLY MANNED UP YOUR GAME. Congrats, keep uplifting. It was your spring board, and you surely spring to outter space!

7:54 haha, I like 5 Palm because it has a wonderful view of the skyline and jbr but not directly connected to them. and it's closer to land "just in case".

Just rented on Dubai Marina...left JBR Address Beach...own a unit in Dubai Hills Estate....Dubai Hills Estate is a booming location....very nice with parrk and new Mall..amd great golf course ....also boaght offplan townhouse at Victory Heights...very nice.. Vila Townhouse comunity for families and Els Golf Club

I’m moving to Dubai from the US this August as an expat to work for an Oil and Gas company. I’ll get getting an apartment at the Dubai Marina; your videos have been helpful in making my decision.

Hi Logan how is life in Dubai

Thanks for the heads up, coming to Dubai in the next few months, would love to speak with you, love the video, thanks for being the best, stay blessed and look forward to speaking with you soon. Let's go! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Not really a real estate person but as a copywriter and a future stocks and trades person I would definitely love to live in marina long term!

5:42 ooooohhh, that's where DMCC is, ok thanks much and definitely explains why your office is there and most likely where mine would be too.

6:20 Marina.... start at Emaar's 5242 (across marina from Address JBR) and I'm liking 5 Palm for a 3-4br condo. Address has a really nice location, view, & amenities. I just don't like their room set up.

Dubai Marina and JBR. Was also looking at Arabian Ranches etc.

Great video!! Thank you

Nice videos! Love it

Amazing Video, really interesting insights

Can anyone advise on whether there are indoor gardens? I’ve looked online but can only find the tourist-type activities with paid tickets. I love nature and walks in the park (from the UK) and one of my main concerns about moving to Dubai is the hot weather and lack of greenery. Thanks!

5:09 JLT looks pretty nice, but yea it does strike me more of a lower cost business office area than Downtown & Business Bay plus it's next to Marina & JBR. But hope you say why not to live there, though it didn't attract me as an area to live.

Can you do a video about living in Sharjah or Ras Al Khaimah. Which are the nice places to live in those Emirates.

Dubai creek harbor and Dubai harbor are the best places to live

Hey Raphael, I was wondering while I was watching your video's that you never talk about Dubai Hills... Is that because it's not worth mentioning or because not a lot of people are interested in property there? I myself saw my dreamhouse and although it's already sold, I still want to see it and maybe if I would still fall in love with it again am going to make an offer... Yes that's how much I actually want it haha Palm Jumeirah is also very nice so yeah I have a lot to think about a lot to see once I am there.... Thanks for your great informative video's!

Thank you

Thoughts on Five Palm residences in Dubai? Love the design finishing of the units there but haven't heard anything about it.

Dubai marina is too congested imo. I like dubai creek harbour as best location.

Business bay is still developing but in 5 years or so it will be a very nice place to get a waterfront condo. Especially with Meydan one mall opening soon being a bigger and better experience than Dubai mall. Also Dubai creek harbour looks like it will be a decent place to live in 5 years from now.

@mrbabyhugh

2 жыл бұрын

all true, but the Marina & Dubai Mall will stand for a long time as being "first" with many things, it's proximity to JBR. I have looked at those areas and all I am seeing is "bigger", not sure how that will attract tourists and expats unless Marina & JBR areas become too populated, which is very possible. So yeah, in 5 years we will see how things develop.

Been here 3 months and I’d definitely cross off Marina/JBR. Just traffic and low quality eateries (except in Pier 7). If you want ocean views with private beach and newer buildings, you definitely want to be in Emaar Beachfront (Dubai Harbour). An apartment in Palm Jumeirah is great too but avoid Palm West Beach if you want to get any sleep.

Ive heard horror stories about expats living in Dubai being subject to islamic law, which is basically dark ages type of justice system including dungeon-like prison system. Expats who have been late on house payments have literally been thrown into these dungeons with awful food and almost died due to no medical attention. Keep in mind that islamic law looks on unbelievers as sub-human infidels.
