Dubai’s real estate, from a consumer and investor prospective, is one of the most sought after locations in the world. So the profits earned in the long term is also incredibly lucrative. The type of opportunities that real estate agents (or developers) have in Dubai can be an extremely good opportunity, IF you don’t get drowned out against your competitors. Even in slowed down markets, real estate agents are able to have a profitable outcome, if they change their strategy.The reason it’s important to understand the real estate market in Dubai, is to analyze the supply and demand of the market. It’s also important to note that the annual price decrease of real estate (on average) declined 5.8% *, which would position you buyers/investor in a grater seat of power.Regardless of whether you have asked about Dubai, or another city, you definitely always have the opportunity to make money working in real estate, regardless of the market trends, when you adapt your strategy to the market. Also, as a marketing advocate, i do have to say that your ability to make money in real estate will rely more so on your ability to attract clients to you MORE than how the market is doing.*http://www.hanoversquarerealestate.com/dubai-property-market-forecast-q3/

That's like asking why you need a doctor when you have an MRI or why use an attorney when you can use Legal Zoom. Things are far more complex in a real estate transaction than the consumer understands and with 10-20 people and moving parts, you just might want someone who practices the profession and works as your advocate. Yes the information about properties is far more available to the consumer, but how adept are you at interpreting it? How well do you know your market? Are you familiar (or expert) at the real estate law in your state? How well do you know the contractual process or your liabilities?And then there's this...Would you say the same about your job?

Good question. Of course, I’m not really sure why you might want to meet real estate investors. If you want to meet real estate investors because you are currently or want to be an investor yourself, then there are different places to look than, let’s say, you are looking for real estate investors because you want to sell to them products or services. Nonetheless, there are a number of ways to find real estate investors.Here are 10 of the best ways I know to meet real estate investors:Real Estate Investor Clubs - This is the most obvious. There are various national real estate investor organizations that have local chapters where you can meet other real estate investors. Some of the main organizations are NREIA and NREIC.Meet-Ups - There are meetups in almost every city in the U.S. Meetups are for any group of people interested in meeting people with people who have the same interests. Whether you collect bugs, love small dogs, make quilts, seek fellowship with others of the same beliefs or invest in real estate, there are meetups all over the country, in every town that you can connect with.Investor Clubs - These are not the same as strictly “real estate” investor clubs. Here you will meet people who are just interested in various types of investment opportunities. BetterInvesting, formerly known as the National Association of Investors Corporation, is the preeminent advocate of collaborative investing. It maintains extensive archives of information for starting and maintaining investment clubs.Chamber of Commerce Meetings - Almost every city has a Chamber of Commerce that brings together local business people in regular meetings and events. Within that group, there are often a number of real estate investors.BiggerPockets.com - This online real estate investing portal is one of the best resources for real estate investors. BP has over one million regular real estate investor visitors from all over the world. You can do a search for investors in your area, send an email and arrange meetings with local investors over coffee.Guru Networks - There are a number of real estate investing educational organizations that teach people how to invest in real estate. They often have frequent webinars, seminars, boot camps and other events where you can make contact other real estate investors. Some of the most popular guru event sponsors are RE Mentor, Lifestyles Unlimited, Freedom Mentor, Brad Sumrock, Fortune Builders, and Freedom by Flipping.Family Office Club Meetings - What do real estate investors need besides properties to buy? Money to buy those properties! Family Office Clubs are organizations where people who manage the wealthiest individuals fortunes regularly gather to seek information on good investment opportunities, including real estate investments. Many real estate investors attend these events to find investors for their properties.Brokers and Agents - Real estate investors are always talking to real estate agents and brokers for leads to prospective properties to purchase. Find brokers and agents that talk with lots of investors and ask them for referrals to some of their top client investors.Local Professionals - Real estate attorneys and real estate-focused CPAs are also good referral contacts to find local real estate investors. In addition, banks, title companies and property management firms are good referral sources as well.Start Your Own - I think this strategy is very effective! Instead of going after real estate investors, have them come after you. You can start your own real estate investing club that regularly meets and features leading local real estate investing experts. You would not only meet the many investors that would attend your meetings but, since it is your club, you would have access to top name industry leaders and speakers who might not otherwise even take you calls. Another successful idea is to start a Cash Flow 101 club, where investors come together to play Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki’s popular Cash Flow game.Well, I hope that list helps you meet some real estate investors.Best, bill
