Expatriates living in the United Arab Emirates are looking for ways to cut costs.
Individuals are increasing their likelihood of considering property investments as a strategy for generating profitable returns as a result of this trend.
Alexandar Michael, a Romanian expat living in Dubai, stated, "I have an existing property in Dubai that I purchased many years ago, but now I want to buy again as rents are going up." The objective of this is to avoid paying rent, which will result in cost savings over the long term. Due to the fact that Dubai is a well-known and stunning city, I am also considering the possibility of capital appreciation.
According to Alexander, when one is working toward a substantial objective such as acquiring a property, it is becoming increasingly important to make adjustments to one's lifestyle and reduce one's spending. Despite the fact that I am employed full-time as a customer service executive for an airline, I also investigate the possibility of earning additional income through the pursuit of other vocations whenever I have the opportunity to do so. As an example, I am a yoga instructor. When everything is said and done, everything works out in the end.
Making investments in the futureA similar situation occurred when Christine Quartier La Tente, a French expat living in Dubai, decided to leave the Springs neighborhood, which she cherished, because of the rising cost of rent.She provides an explanation as to the reasons that led her to make the decision to relocate to Damac Hills 2, which is a community that is located further away from the city along Al Qudra Road. Even though it is located a considerable distance away, this region offers a wide range of residences that are affordable while still providing an excellent way of life.
"We made the decision to buy a house, but we ran into a problem because it is not possible for us to obtain a loan with a long-term term because we are in our 50s," stated the couple.
She notes that after gaining an understanding of the dangers involved, they came to the conclusion that purchasing a property to live in was not a feasible option at this time.
