Foothold is a private deal desk for UAE residential property. We source off-market and distressed opportunities directly from motivated sellers, underwrite every one against a strict written buy-box, and share what survives — privately, with a small circle of qualified investors.
Listed property is priced for retail buyers. The real discounts sit with owners who need certainty more than price: overseas landlords tired of managing from afar, vacant units bleeding service charges, sellers who want speed. Those situations never make it to a portal — they move through relationships. That's the dealflow we work.
A live tracker across selected Dubai micro-markets plus broker relationships that surface situations before they're listed.
Verified against actual DLD transaction data — not asking prices. Rental coverage stress-tested. Service charges, bank financeability, and tenant quality checked before you ever see it.
Qualified members receive a concise deal memo: the asset, the numbers, the risks, the exit paths. Base case and stress case — never just the good news.
Negotiation, bank process, trustee transfer, tenancy management, and monthly reporting — handled. Everything registered and lawyer-documented.
Investors who want exposure to UAE residential at real-value entry points, without spending their evenings on portals or their weekends at viewings — and who value being told "no deal this month" over being sold something.
Access is by application. We work with a deliberately small number of investors and qualify every request personally.
We reply personally to every request. No newsletters, no spam — if we have nothing for you, you won't hear from us more than once.
