I don't get it. The guy above said that you get a 99-year visa when you buy property. What would be the point of that if you could only buy property if you're already a citizen? |
in dubai you are allowed to buy, but I think it's only a good option if you are loaded.
rents are kinda high too, alot of the companies pay accommodation though |

*shrug* I checked out some prices and they're not that bad. Saw some very nice brand new little condos for only like $100k. |

for 100k you'd probably buy somewhere in the middle of the desert...
those in good locations (ie good fast investment) start around 500k i think |

That's still not 'that' bad, considering other metro hotspots. Where my parents live just outside Manhattan condos are being bought and sold 2 or three times before construction is even finished and prices are roughly 350k to 400k USD for something you can't even move into yet.
If you want something that's actually detached.... :eek:
Prices are changing weekly. |

Here are the top 2 most expensive cities or towns to buy a home in on each coast in the US right now. These are AVERAGE prices of homes. All figures in USD.
The most expensive cities on East coast:
1)Greenwich CT- $1,267,500
2)Boston MA- $1,260,000
*Manhattan was not included in the study since you can not buy a 'House' in Manhattan.
The most expensive on the West Coast:
1)La Jolla CA- $1,875,000
2)Santa Monica- $1,766,666
West Coast wins. |

That doesn't sound too bad. What can you get for 500k though? How much would a new 2br condo cost around "new downtown" Dubai? How about if it's right by the water (i THINK it could be both downtown and on the shore, right?)? |

but, the 7 stars hotel is pure bull, cause there's no such thing. Its a very nice five stars hotel. |
Yes there are, 7-Star hotels are International Ratings, not the 5-Star North American and Europe union rates that hotels go under.
There is a 7-Star hotel in Dubai, one in the Rainforest, and another in Japan or around that area. There are only three of them in world, and, from the Travel Channel's special I saw YEARS ago on Dubai's hotel, the whats-it-called, honeymoon suite, is something like $1500/night. |
