I'm a reporter for a radio program in the US called "Marketplace." We cover business and finance and are currently working on a series about the Middle East. In short, I'm traveling to Dubai in January to interview expats who have been disappointed by their property investments there -- homes or offices they've bought for their own use, or properties that they intended to rent or flip. I've been reading the threads about Dubai on this forum and the recurring problems seem to be construction delays and substandard workmanship. In any case, if you have a story like that, or know someone who does, please get in touch with me at scole@americanpublicmedia.org

I'm also looking for people who have the opposite perspective, i.e. people who have been happy with their property investments in Dubai or who just think the complaints are overblown. Either way, please write to me.

Also, if you have a story to tell, but would rather not use your name, I'm open to that.

Any help at all would be most appreciated. Thanks to all.

Best,

-- Sean.
