Hi all

I am new to the forum although I have been following the various discussions here with interest. I am a beginner when it comes to property investment but nevertheless has a question regarding resale of properties and how to calculate your profit.

Suppose you purchase a flat off plan for AED 1m and have paid 500k so far in instalments. The property subsequently doubles in value to AED 2m. Is your profit on resale 2m less 500k that is still owed to the developer via instalments so i.e. a profit of 1.5m?

Or is the profit 500k i.e. simply double what you have paid the developer so far?

This point has been confusing me somewhat so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

hi there

it is maths we learnt in school in 7th standard. well profit= selling price-original price.so if yr 1m property doubles yr profit is 2m-1m=1m.100% profit. but yr investment is only 500k.so when u sell yr property for 2m u get 1m plus yr original investment 500k.so return on yr investment is 200%.yr 500k is turned in to 1500k.

Thanks Jags....the power of leveraging eh?! One final thing, would the buyer of my property pay me 1.5m up front?

hi

buyer will pay u 1m.ur profit.i m not quite sure whether his 500k will go to developer n urs comes out of developer or simply he pays u 1.5m and yrs 500k turns in to his name.any way u get 1.5m when u sell yr propery.

jags

Superb, thanks ever so much for clarifying that for me.

very useful!! Thank you

Hi All,

This is one of the best Property Sites I have come accross so far. Period.

The idea for property investment in UAE started in my mind a while ago, but I haven't had any currage to procede with anything. It was all just blur. Now it started to clear up, and I can pick up valuable guidance on this Forum.

Although I'm an 30 year old Architect/Interior Designer in Dubai, I have never bought property - or done any similar investment in my life. Planing to start now...

All in all - the site is excelent.
Thanks

Dimitry
