Buy or Rent
This is an issue that many people find themselves facing when moving to Dubai. With the city becoming more and more popular by the day, property rental prices in Dubai are spiraling out of control. For most people, it is worth investing in their own property rather than paying thousands of Dirhams towards rent. Of course, this decision is never clear-cut as there are so many aspects to consider, such as:-
- How much would you pay for rent?
- How much would a similar property cost to buy?
- How much money would you need to put as a down payment?
- How long do you plan to stay in Dubai?
- … the list of questions goes on.
To think it out thoroughly, you’d have to spend a considerable amount of time doing research and calculations. You basically have to compare the cost of rent with the cost of buying which would be the down payment plus the cost of financing. Whichever one turns out to be less would be your best option.
Of course, if you buy a property purely for investment, the calculation would be completely different. Some people buy a property and then rent it out, which often covers the monthly payments to the bank. Others buy property then resell it for a premium. With Dubai real estate being some of the most sought after in the world, the people who play their cards right can end up making big bucks.
