Is Dubai’s real estate market a bubble waiting to pop, or the smartest move you’ll ever make?
For the second time, Victoria sits down with Yulia — a branding expert and property investor — to dive deeper into the emotional and financial realities of buying property in Dubai.
From rising land prices and off-plan investment strategies to misconceptions about the city being “plastic” or “superficial,” this episode is an unfiltered look at what it really takes to create a life, and a portfolio, in one of the world’s fastest-growing property markets.
What you’ll learn:
• Why the “Dubai Bling” perception is only one side of the story
• The ROI sweet spot: why one-bedroom apartments outperform
• How to invest with loans and payment plans (even without all the cash upfront)
• The truth about buying land and building your dream villa
• How to spot real developer credibility vs clever marketing
• What lifestyle-first investing really looks like and why it matters
Yulia also opens up about her own wins (and vision for the future), including why she draws inspiration from Donald Trump and what she would tell her younger self with 20 years of hindsight: “Invest. Invest. Invest.”
Whether you’re dreaming of financial freedom, a better lifestyle, or both, this is your permission to explore what’s possible in Dubai.
