RERA Framework for Investor Protection
Dubai's Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) provides comprehensive investor protections. All off-plan developers must hold buyer funds in escrow accounts — funds cannot be released without construction milestone verification. All brokers must be RERA-licensed. All transactions are recorded on the DLD's blockchain registry. Subodh Bajpai only recommends RERA-registered developers with proven delivery track records.
Golden Visa Through Dubai Property
AED 2,000,000 in ready freehold property (not mortgaged beyond 50%) qualifies for a 10-year renewable UAE Golden Visa — effectively permanent residency for you and your family. Subodh Bajpai at Unified Investments specifically identifies Golden Visa-eligible properties that also offer strong rental yields, so you achieve both residency security and passive income from a single investment decision.
