International Investors
Investing in UAE real estate from abroad
Whether you are based in the US, Europe, or Latin America - the right structure depends on where you are.
Every investor profile has different tax obligations, banking requirements, and regulatory considerations. We advise international investors on the structures that matter for their specific jurisdiction, starting with the frictions that most brokers skip.
For US Investors
50+ years of combined experience, built at the region's largest investment-migration advisory, now advising HNW investors on UAE property.
Most UAE property content is written for European, Indian, or GCC buyers. Different tax situations. Different financing structures. Different goals.
The American Investor's Complete UAE Guide covers what actually matters for US-based investors: the AED-USD peg and what it means for your portfolio, the IRS reporting requirements most brokers never mention, the Golden Visa, how to buy remotely, and an honest assessment of the current market, with data, not spin.
It is free. No gated form. No obligation. Start with the data, and decide if a conversation makes sense.
US buyers are among the fastest-rising foreign nationalities in Dubai. Dubai recorded AED 252bn in property transactions in Q1 2026, up 31% year on year. Source: DLD, Q1 2026.
The conversation no other broker is having properly
The friction is the starting point, not an afterthought. This is the part US-targeted broker content usually skips.
Banking, handled first
We sequence banking before property. HSBC UAE and FAB are the practical routes for US persons in Dubai. Every profile is different, so we map yours on the call. Indicative terms, subject to lender approval.
FATCA and IRS reporting
As a US person you report worldwide income. The UAE's 0% tax means no double taxation, not no filing. We flag the reporting points worth raising with your US tax adviser before you close.
Golden Visa
Off-plan and mortgaged property now qualify on the AED 2M valuation (Feb 2026 rule). A few operational steps apply, and we walk you through them.
Currency with no FX risk
The AED has been pegged to the USD at 3.6725 since 1997. For a USD-based investor that removes the currency risk you carry buying in London (GBP) or Barcelona (EUR).
