Questions

Frequently asked

We believe in full transparency. If your question isn’t here, ask us directly.

The Holiday Homes strategy has a minimum of $25,000. Ready-Built Acquisitions and New Construction opportunities both start at $400,000.

The 15% is a target annualised return based on conservative 65% occupancy underwriting, while Dubai market operators typically achieve 75-85%. We structure our compensation to align with yours: we only earn above your target return. All investments carry risk and past performance is not indicative of future results.

Holiday Homes investors receive a Promissory Note. This is a fixed-term instrument with defined return and repayment schedule. Ready-Built and New Construction deals use SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) ownership structures, giving you direct equity participation.

Holiday Homes distributions are made monthly via direct bank transfer, managed through your secure investor portal. You can update banking details, view statements, and track occupancy data at any time.

At the end of the 24-month term, your principal is returned in full alongside any remaining accrued distributions. You’ll have the opportunity to roll into a new investment or exit entirely.

Minimal. The UAE Dirham has been pegged to the US Dollar since 1997 at a fixed rate of 3.6725 AED/USD. This eliminates standard currency fluctuation risk that investors face in other international markets.

We work with accredited investors from the US and internationally. We start every relationship with a discovery call to understand your goals and assess whether there’s a genuine fit. No hard sell, no pressure.
