Behind the seemingly simple task of collecting rent every month there can be a number of unpredictable problems can push people to their limits. We all like to think of ourselves as level-headed humans, but at the end of the day it takes a special kind of person to deal with the difficulties of property management.

Advertising, calls, and showing the property can eat a considerable amount of time from your daily routine, but are critical tasks as vacancies will quickly eat into your profit margins.

These emergencies don’t happen all the time, but when they do you have to be willing to handle them immediately. Can you handle being called at 3 AM in the morning to fix someone’s leak in their kitchen.
Ensuring the property is run in accordance with the UAE Laws is critical in both preventing lawsuits and shielding yourself from liability if you are sued. Familiarity with contracts is also very important as your rental agreement is the only binding agreement between you and the tenant.
