Real estate investments are the safest way to increase your income. The risk of losing money is minimal, even in the most robust crisis, and profitability is always maintained. The price of secondary properties, especially in the UAE, increases yearly. First Select agency will guide you on how to maximize your returns on your investment.

How to Make Money in Real Estate in the Emirates?

The UAE real estate market is highly dynamic, continually expanding, and always offering new income opportunities for property owners. Demand consistently exceeds supply in the UAE due to tourism, business, and expatriate relocation. Families, groups, solo travelers, entire companies, and individual departments all come here, requiring either rental or purchase of real estate. So, you have every chance to earn well. Still, choosing the right strategy is essential to ensure you get all the potential profit.

First Select will study your case and propose an option that aligns with your requirements. We can sell your property in the UAE at a lucrative price, ensuring your prior real estate investments pay off multiple times.

FAQ

frequently asked questions about investing in real estate in the UAE
What is the rental yield of real estate in the UAE?

The average annual yield ranges from 7% to 12%. It depends on factors such as the type of rental (short-term or long-term), property type (commercial or residential), city, and district.

Where is the best place to buy real estate for investments?

Dubai has been the most popular city for several years. It attracts tourists, business people, and expatriates, making it easier to find good tenants, and rental rates remain consistently high. Dubai Marina has traditionally been the most attractive area in Dubai.

Do I need to be on-site, or can I invest remotely?

When collaborating with First Select, you do not need to be physically present in the UAE. We'll handle all the work for you! All that's required is your approval and signature (which can be done using an electronic signature).

I purchased an apartment in Dubai; construction is ongoing, but I'm interested in acquiring a ready office now. Can I sell the property at the construction stage and buy another one?

Yes, First Select can help with such situations. According to UAE laws, you can sell an unfinished Off-Plan property (i.e., one part of a construction plan) to another party. We'll find a buyer and help you choose another property.

What payment methods are available for tenants or buyers in the UAE?

Among the most common and accessible options are bank transfers, cards, checks from local banks, and cryptocurrencies.
