With U.S. interest rates staying high, I’m seeing more buyers and investors ask the same question: where can my money actually work for me right now? In this video, I sit down with fellow REALTOR® Sheanni (licensed in California and Nevada) who’s been living in Dubai and actively selling real estate there. We break down why Dubai has become such a magnet for international investors looking for luxury product, stability, and a clearer path to strong returns. We talk through what pricing and upside can look like—like luxury condos starting under $1M USD and the potential to see significant appreciation before construction is even complete. Sheanni also explains the 10-year Golden Visa pathway tied to a qualifying investment (around $545K), and why Dubai’s rental structure can feel refreshingly different for U.S. landlords—especially with an upfront rental system that can reduce the usual tenant headaches. If you’re waiting on the sidelines for rates to drop or you’re ready to diversify globally, this conversation lays out what’s possible and what to look at first.
