According to the current norms of RBI, Indians can remit a maximum of USD 250,000 to a foreign country. This indicates that they can invest USD 500,000 in just two years in the country. This is good enough to purchase any quality property in the country.

Another factor leading to the increasing investment of Indians in Dubai is the short distance between the two places. Abundant flights are available, which facilitates an easy transportation facility between these zones.

Even if you do not have a high-budget to invest in property in a foreign city, you can acquire a property in Dubai. In terms of personal finance, this is much more profitable.

The investment churn and high returns from the stock markets is another reason that has led to the increased interest of the Indians in Dubai real estate. With the rise in the value of stocks, the income increases and this fosters greater purchasing power among the individuals.
