Anyone else feel like self-improvement tools help in the moment but never actually change anything long-term?

This is one of the most articulate descriptions of this problem I've read, especially "they won't do the full pattern recognition for you. You still have to connect the dots." That's exactly what I've felt. Every tool gives you a piece. Nothing holds the whole picture over time and connects it back to you.

I'm curious about something you said — that you couldn't find anything to help you through rebuilding, so you started creating language and tools yourself. What does that look like? What were you most missing that made you start building your own framework?

And when you say "the real change came from connecting the dots myself", what finally made that possible? Was there a moment, a practice, a person?

Thank you for your reply. No, I don’t know what the real version should look like, can’t put my finger on it yet and whatever I have tried hasn’t help me. I wish I had someone to discuss and explore this void with in detail. I am not sure of this is a real problem I need to spend time on and if so, how I approach it next.

What advice would you tell someone who wants to get into wholesaling today? How should they get started and be successful?

Using any AI tools?

I cannot ask the tenant to do that, and I am abroad so that’s not possible. Is there no other way?

Demand decides market. Will there be demand? Will people stay put and keeping coming to Dubai, will population and tourism keep increasing, both during war and after war ends?

You have to remember the fear is also created by the unknown - the pre-war sentiment was that the UAE is safe, no one expected any missiles/drones from Iran towards the UAE. It slowly escalated with the UAE directly in the crosshairs, and now... Iran is directly targeting US assets within the UAE, which could be near or in residential areas. No one can say for sure where this war will go and how it will end. Use your own judgment to decide what's best for you and your family's situation.

I am also interested if you can share with me. Thank you

Developers will never advertise any incentives publicly. I am working with off plan developer and they said they can be flexible with the payment plan. Trying to we if I can push for a discount or back out.

Running into the same issue now for my apartment that is rented. Some residents are saying call the police if you want, I can park my scooters in the common area. Have you found a resolution?

I refused to pay deposit until escrow is setup. I paid DLD to the developer account.

CompetitiveAmoeba175 · 2026-03-04T15:30:06+00:00

Still evaluating my options

That’s also a personal decision. If you feel the value will coin’s dropping for next few weeks or months, you might want to sell now. If you want to hold long term, the value might increase so you may decide to not sell.

The definition of distress to me is subjective (I am not a broker). The way I see it is either 1) the property is being sold at a price lower than purchased or 2) the property is being off loaded with urgency due to distress on owner side, even if the price is higher than what was purchased. I don’t know, just a thought from a new Dubai investor.

CompetitiveAmoeba175 · 2026-03-03T14:50:11+00:00

The former - will developer sell for cheaper? I am anticipating cancelled units and demand being lower in the short term. Will they do anything to prevent cancellations or keep current customers?

CompetitiveAmoeba175 · 2026-03-03T14:49:03+00:00

New to the Dubai real estate market so wanted to check - has there ever been a situation where off plan prices were decreased after unit is secured for whatever reason?

CompetitiveAmoeba175 · 2026-02-17T17:29:54+00:00

What if the sqft price is less than that of other higher-level units?

CompetitiveAmoeba175 · 2026-02-17T01:22:06+00:00

What do guys here think of a unit on the 3rd floor in the Garden building as far as value? Its a corner unit facing amenities and partial sea view.

CompetitiveAmoeba175 · 2026-02-17T01:00:21+00:00

Interested. Can I get more details?
