Real estate is one of the most trusted ways to grow wealth in the GCC. But for many, the high cost of entry has made it out of reach. Fractional investing is changing that.
Stake now allows you to own a share of high-performing properties in Dubai, funds in Riyadh and beyond, and earn passive income without becoming a landlord.
But how safe is it?
What is Fractional real estate?
It’s simple. Multiple investors come together to own a property or a fund. Each person holds a share and earns renturns in line with their investment. Some properties and funds offer regular income, while others are based on appreciation, for example, when the property is sold, or you sell your share, you receive your gains.
After you invest in properties, Stake handles everything else: tenant management, property maintenance, legal documents and payments.
For funds, Stake manages all the administrative elements required. We partner with top-tier fund managers to ensure a smooth investment process.
You invest from your phone, get real-time updates through your portfolio and start with as little as AED 500 or SAR 500.

So, are there any risks?
Like any investment, real estate comes with risks. The most important ones to consider in fractional ownership are:
- Liquidity: You can’t always exit instantly, however, Stake offers bi-annual Exit Windows
- Market cycles: Property values can rise and fall (like all assets)
The right platform reduces these risks through regulation, transparency and investor protections.
Diversification is also a way to reduce risk, spreading investments across strategies, areas, and countries.
