The Dubai real estate market has exploded

They had been trying to trick me for quite some time as well.

Recently, advertisements for Dubai residences kept appearing in front of me constantly.

The prices seemed incredibly affordable.

A residence permit via email was the extra perk.

Including grandparents.

Being a civil engineer, friends and relatives were also asking me, what should we do, should we buy a house in Dubai?

As the calls increased, I prepared a short video to warn them.

I said, stay away from fault lines and 'fır' lines (shady deals).

For the middle class like us—and we have dropped a level now—one can only manage to own one or two homes in their entire lifetime.

I said there is no need to throw away this capital earned by the sweat of one's brow.

I added that if you have millions earned through illicit, illegitimate means, that is up to you.

Because only people who possess these characteristics invest in regions that lack roots, tradition, systems, and morality.

During my last visit to Dubai, I had understood the profile to some extent.

There was a stateless profile, mostly involved in illegitimate business, who had served in the looting of their own countries.

In the end, no one like us bought a house in the Gulf region.

There is only one thing to say about those who did.

Easy come, easy go.
