01You are long the asset currency whether you notice or not
Buying Dubai property in AED while earning in INR, GBP, or EUR creates a currency exposure on both rental cash flows and exit proceeds. A strong yield in local terms can be muted — or amplified — by moves in the funding currency.
02Match the liability, not the brochure
If the mortgage is in AED but income arrives in another currency, rate moves affect affordability directly. Investors remitting under India's LRS should also model the 20% TCS cash-flow hit on amounts above ₹10 lakh — recoverable, but not instant.
