Dubai property,shortlisted by TJ.
Tax-free rent, no capital gains tax and a route to a 10-year Golden Visa. TJ tests every project against five checks before he recommends it. Tell him your budget and get the ones that passed.
What goes wrong when you buy off-plan without a filter
Dubai launches new projects every week, and every one comes with a glossy brochure. The brochure never shows the three risks that cost buyers money.
The project hands over late
Your money sits in a building you cannot live in or rent out, while the payment plan keeps running.
The area floods with supply
Thousands of identical units hand over at the same time, and rents and resale prices fall with them.
No buyer at your price
You paid a launch premium the secondary market never matches, so the exit costs you money.
TJ's five checks exist to filter out all three.
Most projects fail at least one.
Four numbers every expat buyer asks about
Whether you live in Dubai, London or Mumbai, the case is the same: tax-free returns in a dollar-linked market with a residency route attached.
The five checks every project must pass
If a project fails one check, it does not reach your shortlist. Tap each check to see what TJ looks at.
The right decision matters more than the right property.
TJ has advised investors and end users in Dubai for over nine years, across several market cycles. He has seen launches sell out in a day and projects that never delivered. That is why his shortlist is short.

Before you enquire
Yes. Any nationality can buy freehold property in Dubai's designated areas, whether you live in the UAE or abroad. The projects on TJ's shortlist sit in these areas.
The UAE charges no personal income tax on rental income and no capital gains tax on a sale. Your home country may still tax foreign income, so check with your tax advisor.
No. Off-plan purchases can be completed remotely: documents are signed digitally, payments go by bank transfer, and TJ's team handles registration with the Dubai Land Department.
Property worth AED 2 million or more, including off-plan units from approved developers, qualifies the owner for a 10-year Golden Visa that covers a spouse and children.
Off-plan payments go into escrow accounts regulated by the Dubai Land Department and RERA, and are released to the developer as construction progresses.
UAE residents can finance ready property through UAE banks, typically up to 80% of the value for a first home under AED 5M. Some banks also lend to non-residents at lower ratios. Off-plan is usually paid through the developer's payment plan.
No. The shortlist and the call with TJ are free, with no obligation to buy.
