glad i finally did it
been thinking about buying in dubai for like a year honestly. kept putting it off. spoke to matt and he was pretty straight with me, told me which areas were actually worth it for my budget and which were just hype. went off plan in business bay. the payment plan is what made it work for me. 6 months in and im happy. wouldnt say it was the fastest process but it was done properly and thats what matters to me

first property outside france
didnt understand the dubai process at all, escrow DLD SPAs none of it made sense to me. matt was patient abuot it and walked me through eveything before i had to sign anything. no surprise costs which was my main worry. about 3 weeks from start to finish. already bought a second unit in dubai harbour and will probably go back for a third at some point

talked me out of a unit i would have regretted
been buying investment property for nearly 20 years so i know when someones just trying to close. matt wasnt. i had my eye on a specific unit and he told me the yield numbers the developer was quoting didnt match what he was actually seeing from comparable buildings. sent me real data. pushed me toward something else, prpbably lower commission for him. thats the kind of thing that makes you trust someone long term

good deals but had to chase a bit midway
the property access is genuinely good, matt got me something off market at developer pricing that showed up publicly 2 weeks later for quite a bit more. that part i was impressed by. mid process though response times slowed down and i had to follow up a few times which was annoying. result was fine in the end just worth knowing if youre working to a deadline

11.4% after year one
went in skeptical honestly. put a small amount in first just to see if it actualy worked. quarterly reports came in, everything tracked properly, return after 12 months was 11.4% net. kai was helpful when i had questions during onboarding even the basic ones. moved more in since then. nothing fancy just does what it says it does

works well once youre set up, onboarding was slow
started with 500 aed just to see how it works. onboarding took close to 2 weeks which felt longer than it should, had to resend one doc becuase of a format issue. since then its been fine, distributions on time, reporting clear. had my lawyer look at the SPV structure before i put more in and she was satisfied. would be 5 stars if the setup process was quicker

my accountant was skeptical. not anymore
fractional real estate in dubai is not what a conservative austrian accountant wants to hear. he looked at the SPV docs himself and couldnt find anything wrong with the structure, clean enough for local tax reporting. 12.1% last year, beats every fund i hold. mentioned it to a few people in my circle since

Q3 came in lower than projected, no warning
first two quarters were fine. Q3 came in noticeably below what was projected, they explained it was lower occupancy in a slow period which is fair enough but i only found out after the fact. wouldve appreciated a heads up. still positive overall and i havent pulled out but the communication around deviations needs to improve. will updaet this review if things get better

apartment was actually better than the photos
done airbnb in dubai a few times before and its usually just fine. this was actually nicer. marina apartment was spotless, proper linen not the thin stuff, kitchen had everything including coffee. our flight back got delayed 6 hours and i messaged bettina half expecting a no. she just said no problem and extended us no extra charge. didnt have to negotiate or ask twice. that kind of thing sticks with you

AC broke at 3am, someone was there in 45 mins
thursday night AC stops. messaged matt not really expecting anythng til morning. technician knocked on the door under 45 minutes later, fixed on the spot. ive stayed in proper 5 star hotels that wouldnt do that. difc apartment was nice anyway but that response is what ill actually tell people about. 24/7 support is usually just something they write on the website

great stay but checkin was a mess
apartment on the palm was genuinely lovely, 3 beds proper kitchen kids were happy. bettina sorted a grocery delivery and found us a babysitter rec before we arrived which i didnt even ask for. only issue is checkin took ages, we waited in the lobby nearly 40 minutes after a long haul flight with two tired kids which wasnt fun. once we got in everything was perfect. sort the arrival side and its easily a 5

they remember what i want, i dont have to repeat myself
4 trips a year to dubai. bettina knows by now, high floor west facing same builidng if its available. dont have to explain it every time. that alone puts them ahead of most hotels i use. price is also better than a comparable hotel room and i get an actual kitchen. next 3 trips already booked through them

DMCC license done in 6 days, no consultancy fee
two other firms wanted 3k+ before theyd even speak to me properly. mariano got on a call, no charge, walked me through free zone vs mainland for my sitaution and gave me a full cost breakdown. government fees only nothing on top. license came back in 6 working days. bank account sorted the following week. already sent two people to him

flagged a tax problem i didnt know i had
needed singapore holding and dubai operating entity at the same time. mariano ran both in parallel and checked in daily which i wasnt expecting. the bigger thing was he flagged a CFC issue with my romanian tax residency that id never heard of. would have walked straight into that. both entities live in 3 weeks. its the stuff they spot without being asked that makes the difference

solid advice, took longer than they said
mariano spent nearly 2 hours going through my saas structure with me before i paid anything, mainland vs free zone, visa, banking, all of it. proper conversation. license ended up taking 10 days not the 6-7 he mentioned, apparently some delay on the authority side. wasnt a disaster but i had a deasline so it was stressful. result was correct and advice was good. would still recommend just add a few extra days to whatever timeline they give you

went from 3 accountants to 1 and paid less tax
italy, UAE, hong kong — three accountants who never talked to each other. kai consolidated everything and within the first month spotted I was being taxed on intercompany transfers that should have been structured differently. didn't charge extra for it, just flagged it and fixed it. annual tax exposute down about 22%. one report every month. should have done this two years earlier

FTA audit, no stress
had conflicting VAT advice from 3 different sources before switching to ceg. they registered me properly and set up the invoicing correctly from day one. six months in we haf an FTA audit. kai had prepared everything already — documents, explanations, the lot. it was genuinely fine. that audit preparation alone was worth more than the annual fee

reliable, though setup took a few weeks to get right
first month or two had a few back-and-forths getting the chart of accounts right for my situation. bit annoying bur not unusual when switching accountants. since then its been consistent — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow on the 5th every month, no exceptions. fixed fee agreed upfront, kai flags deadlines before I have to ask. once it was set up properly it's been exactly what I needed

15 hours a month down to maybe 45 minutes
that's genuinely what happened. ireland and UAE combined was killing me with admin. now I open one report, read it, maybe ask one or two questions, done. syncs with my banks and invoicing automatically. first annual audit was the smoothest ive had in 12 years of running my own businesses. I genuinely dont think about accounting anymore which is the point
