yes indeed I have and have invested in a number of properties.

Last year people said the exact same thing you are saying.

Let's look at the lagoon for example, I bought it for 900k, it's worth over 1.8m I doubled my money in a year and a bit. Back then people were like 'no way'.

Look at the pearl, I bought a 1 bedroom for 1.2m around 8 months ago, it's now worth 1.8m (high floor).

Certain properties will definately increase at the end of the day.

Finally what you do is calculate your mortgage. If it comes to around the price of renting a place, why rent a place? Why not just pay towards owning your own home?

I would really love it though if you could find me a 2 bedroom apartment around 165Sqm in London for around 1.65m. I'm serious, I'll buy it straight away.

I bought an 80sqm two bedroom apartment which turned out to be mostly built out of plasterboard and it was in Colchester which is a tiny town one hour from London by train for 1.2m QR!
I sold it after two years for 1.62m it was hardly any profit at the end of the day but at least it came to me living in a free apartment at the end of the day.

Add to the fact that Dow Jones says that the quickest return in real estate comes out of Doha and Shanghai and you know you've got a good deal.
