There are many projects in Dubai which makes it quite a scary place to invest into.

You should always get information about various projects. Many people had made lots of money from communities such as The Greens, Springs, Emirate Hills, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Dubai Marina etc.

2 big places to invest in at the moment are Jumeirah Village (South), and Business Bay. Jumeirah Village is hailed to be the next Springs and Greens, and all of the Villas and Townhouses are completely sold out. The apartments are still on sale and are considered a good investment for rental and resale. Obviously you have to invest wisely. The cost of construction is always going up.

Business Bay is still open to lots of investment options. A lot of people are asking questions about inesting into Business Bay and their have been a lot of confusion in the market. Basically only smart people are investing into Business Bay. It is going to be the future business hub of the Middle East, and is right next to the tallest tower in the world - The Burj Dubai.

When choosing a property, do not make the mistake of thinking that you can make some quick cash. That boat sailed a few years ago. You can still make some fantastic money but you need to be ready to give the go ahead straight away when an excellent opportunity arises.

I would advise newcomers to invest with a few to keep their money in the chosen project for at least 1 to 1.5 years. If an opportunity comes to make a sale within that time and make some quick money, then consider it as a bonus. Do not assume that you can liquidise and make a profit after 3 months (although it can be possible).

When choosing a project to invest into, always look at all the aspects and find the weakest link. The main factors are:

Developer - are they strong? will they complete it? are they backed by a bank?
Location - Is it in a good area? Easy accessibility?
Finance - Backed by a major bank? Easy repayment terms?

There are other factors, but the ones above are quite important.

You need to decide if you want to invest in commercial or residential property. It is good to inest in both but i think that you will find the smart people investing into commercial projects. This is because a lot of foreign companies are setting up HQ's in Dubai. Try and find a vacant office on Sheikh Zayed Road, and it will be near impossible. And the prices are quite high. You can invest in residential but that would be wise if you are getting a good deal or if you are actually looking for a place to live in after the place is completed (personal choice).

If you want more info then post a reply on this thread.

like all areas you need to choose the project carefully.

sports city boasts some excellent investment points.
the david lloyd tennis academy (the best tennis coah there is)
the butch harmon golf academy (the coach for tiger woods)
the manchester united football academy (great academy but no further comment as i am a liverpool supporter)
Cricket academy

add to this you have stadiums, malls, schools, mosques, parks

in fact 70% of this area is lanscaped, and 30% is buildings. have the vision in your mind imagine that when thisis built, people coming to dubai would rather live in a place that is not a concrete jungle.

you obviously have to choose wisely.
and again obviously i can advise you.

have a look at my forum to get more info in other areas of dubai.
