Why in Real Estate and why choose UAE to open your first door?
“Real estate has been used by the wealthy for centuries to accumulate and preserve capital and the average Joe has been left out.”
It’s a profound ambition for a start-up, Real estate crowdfunding exists but not in the region, according to Mr Farid. Yet there is high demand. “Traditionally if you look at the Arabian Gulf, people favour hard assets – real estate or gold – but few people have the means to access them.” He cites a report by the humanitarian charity Oxfam in January, which claims real estate is the largest asset class in the world, worth $217 trillion, yet only 12 per cent of the world’s population has any sort of ownership of it.
“Best Financial freedom is the option of time, you can do whatever you want to do, it’s not about having a lot of money, it’s like having that ability to do what you want to do”, Farid said wittingly.
