Cairo ( KY-roh; Arabic: القاهرة‎, romanized: al-Qāhirah, pronounced [ælˈqɑːhɪɾɑ] (About this soundlisten), Coptic: ϯⲕⲉϣⲣⲱⲙⲓ) is the capital and largest city of Egypt. The Cairo metropolitan area, with a population of 21.3 million, is the largest metropolitan area in the Arab world, the second largest in Africa, and the sixth largest in the world. Cairo is associated with ancient Egypt, as the famous Giza pyramid complex and the ancient city of Memphis are located in its geographical area. Located near the Nile Delta, Cairo was founded in 969 AD during the Fatimid dynasty, but the land composing the present-day city was the site of Ancient National Capitals whose remnants remain visible in parts of Old Cairo. Cairo has long been a centre of the region’s political and cultural life, and is titled “the city of a thousand minarets” for its preponderance of Islamic architecture. Cairo is considered a World City with a “Beta +” classification according to GaWC.

Today, the Egyptian capital has the oldest and largest film and music industries in the Arab world, as well as the world’s second-oldest institution of higher learning, Al-Azhar University. Many international media, businesses, and organizations have regional headquarters in the city; the Arab League has had its headquarters in Cairo for most of its existence.

With a population of over 9 million spread over 453 km², Cairo is by far the largest city in Egypt. An additional 9.5 million inhabitants live in close proximity to the city. Cairo, like many other megacities, suffers from high levels of pollution and traffic. The Cairo Metro is one of the only two metro systems in Africa (the other being in Algiers, Algeria), and ranks amongst the fifteen busiest in the world, with over 1 billion annual passenger rides. The economy of Cairo was ranked first in the Middle East in 2005, and 43rd globally on Foreign Policy‘s 2010 Global Cities Index.

Buy to Rent in Cairo

Renting out your Cairo buy-to-rent investment property can grow wealth and income.

Whatever your goals with investment property in Cairo are – preparation is key.

  • Set goals based on how much rental yield will be required and the local rental yield rates in Cairo and be prepared to change your initial outlook.
  • Thoroughly research the Cairo location with a special emphasis on fringe areas outside the main Cairo metropolis that may be valued lower than their better-known neighbors. Rental yields of around 5% are still attainable in certain areas of Cairo.

Flipping Investment Property in Cairo

Flipping property in Cairo

Flipping property is when we advise clients to buy a Cairo property below market value, renovate it and then make a profit by selling it at a higher price, all within a few months, and often before the Cairo market has a time to react to the renovation.

The Flipping Strategy in Cairo

Investment property flipping in Cairo is a simple strategy. You find a property that is in need of renovation from our list and purchase it for a low price. These type of Cairo real estate investments are sometimes referred to by professionals as ‘distressed’ Cairo real estate.

What is distressed Cairo property:

  • Cairo property in need of renovation
  • Cairo real estate with a change of purpose and use
  • Oversold Cairo property
  • Bank repossessions in Cairo

Put simply, long term investors in Cairo purchase the property, renovate it and make it a lot more attractive to potential buyers.

Calculate profit that you make from Cairo investment property flipping:

Final Selling Price less Cost of Purchase less Costs = Profit

Here is an example:

Cairo property purchase price: $220,000

Renovation costs: $20,000

Other costs: $25,000

Property sale price: $400,000

Profit: $135,000

Experienced property developers in Cairo use a minimum profit value of 22% when looking at potential Cairo projects. The reason for this is because there are lots that can go wrong in Cairo property flipping and working on a potential margin of 22% should still leave a good margin of error.
