Ep 14: In Dubai, should you buy the prop...

TAHIR MAJITHIA
About this episode

Welcome to a very special episode of The Dubai Real Estate podcast. In today's show we are going to be discussing one of the oldest debates any investor faces in Dubai or any other part of the world.

“Should I buy a property and live in it, or should I invest in a property, become the landlord, and rent a place for myself elsewhere?”

We compare both of these options as well as talking about by your preferences, the short and long-term benefits and of course the nitty-gritty numbers.  I also answered the question myself, because there is no way to conclude a debate like this without putting in your personal bias.

This is an absolute must watch for property investors either based in Dubai or overseas that wish to invest in a Dubai apartment, villa or townhouse for the purpose of renting it out and making money, or living in that property alone or with family.
