You're not alone. It's a new strategy for many investors, and it's smart to know how it works before you dive in. We've rounded up the top questions we get about Fix n' Flip, with clear, transparent answers. ## The Basics **What exactly is Fix n' Flip?** Fix n' Flip is a short-term real estate strategy where Stake buys undervalued properties in prime Dubai locations, renovates them, and sells them for a profit, usually within 12 to 18 months. You invest through the Stake platform, and when the property sells, you get your share of the profits. We handle everything, end-to-end. **How is this different from traditional flipping?** Typical flipping means taking on the entire project yourself, finding the deal, funding it, managing renovations, and selling it. Fix n' Flip with Stake removes all of that. You invest from AED 500 and we manage the full journey: acquisition, renovation, and sale. **What's the minimum investment?** AED 500. That's it. Fix n' Flip opens the door to short-term capital plays that used to be reserved for cash-rich insiders. ## Timeline & Returns **How long is my capital committed?** Usually 12 to 18 months. That covers: - Buying the property - Renovating it completely - Selling and closing **When do I receive returns?** At exit. Fix n' Flip is all about capital gains, not monthly income. You get your capital plus profits once the property sells. **What kind of returns can I expect?** It varies by property, market timing, and renovation scope. Stake targets properties with value-add potential, but returns aren't guaranteed. **Will I get rental income?** Nope. These properties are under renovation, they're not rented out. If you're after monthly income, check out Fix n' Lease, High Yield, or Balanced strategies instead. ## Exit & Liquidity **Can I exit early?** No. Fix n' Flip has a single exit point: when the property sells. Your capital is tied up until then. **Why no early exits?** Because the property is mid-renovation and not income-generating. A single exit keeps the project aligned and protects your upside. **What if the property doesn't sell quickly?** Stake works with seasoned agents to price right and market smart. If it takes longer, we keep you informed and stay focused on the best exit outcome. ## The Renovation Process **Who handles the renovations?** We do everything! That includes planning, construction, finishes, and final staging. **What gets renovated?** It depends on the property, but usually: - Kitchens and bathrooms - Flooring and lighting - Fresh paint - Layout improvements - Furnishings and staging **What if things run over budget or schedule?** Renovation risk is real, but Stake's project managers plan tightly and step in fast when needed. If delays happen, we communicate them. **How do you decide when to sell?** We look at market data, buyer demand, and the finished product. Once it’s ready, we price to sell and negotiate for best value. ## Risk & Considerations **What are the key risks?** - Market: Prices can dip - Renovation: Costs or delays - Liquidity: No early exits - Exit timing: Slower sales Stake mitigates these risks through data-led property selection and experienced project oversight. But like any investment, risks exist. **Is this riskier than other Stake strategies?** Different, not necessarily riskier. Fix n' Flip is more concentrated and dependent on execution, while rental strategies offer steadier returns. It depends on your goals. **What if the sale price is lower than expected?** Returns drop too. That's the trade-off with capital appreciation strategies. Stake does its best to sell smart, but the market always plays a role. That’s why diversification is key. ## Property Selection & Locations **Where are these properties?** Prime Dubai neighbourhoods like: - Jumeirah Golf Estates - Mira Oasis - JLT - Victory Heights - Emirates Hills **Why these areas?** They combine strong resale potential, buyer demand, and access to undervalued stock. **How do you find deals?** Stake has deep market intel and access to off-market properties. Many are vacant, dated, or seller-motivated, we move fast on the right ones. **Can I choose which property to back?** Yes. Each Fix n' Flip deal is listed individually, with full transparency on the plan, location, timeline, and expected returns. ## Ownership & Structure **Do I actually own the property?** Yes. You own shares in an SPV that holds the property. That means real ownership, not a loan. **What's an SPV?** A Special Purpose Vehicle: a legal entity created to hold one asset. It simplifies ownership and protects investors. **Are there fees?** Yes, and they're all disclosed upfront. They cover acquisition, renovation management, and sale execution, all the stuff you don’t have to do. See all the numbers in the app. Diversification & Portfolio Strategy **Should I go all-in on Fix n' Flip?** Not necessarily. Fix n' Flip is best as part of a mix. Add High Yield for income, Balanced for stability, and Capital Growth for the long play. **Can I invest in multiple flips?** Definitely. Diversifying across projects helps manage risk and keeps returns flowing. **How does this fit in a broader strategy?** It adds short-term capital growth to your portfolio. It's faster than long-term holds and gives you exposure to prime areas you might not access alone. ## Getting Started **How do I get started?** 1. Browse Fix n' Flip deals on the app 2. Review the details 3. Invest from AED 500 4. Track renovation progress 5. Receive your payout at sale **What if I have questions?** Reach out via the app. Our team is here to help. ## Is Fix n' Flip right for me?
