The population in Dubai is steadily increasing as Dubai becomes more and more attractive city to live, work, and run business. For example, in 2010 there were 1.9 million residents in Dubai. However, now their number is about 3.2 million. Moreover, statistics say Dubai to be a city of huge rental opportunities with about 70 percent of its residents renting their homes.

However, you may forget about this duty as long as you opt to hire a specialized company for the best property management. This way rental is definitely a passive income!

Therefore, with rentals investment you benefit twice – when you rent your property out and when you decide to sell it. Though, now you can hear the real estate prices has gone down.
