What are the risks of investing in land in Jordan?

Answer

Key risks in Jordanian land investment include: (1) Liquidity risk — land is illiquid; selling quickly may require a price discount. (2) Planning risk — zoning changes can affect development potential and value. (3) Title risk — improperly verified title can expose buyers to ownership disputes; mitigated by thorough due diligence. (4) Currency risk — for foreign investors, JOD fluctuations against USD/EUR are minimal (JOD is pegged to USD). (5) Market cycle risk — periods of reduced demand can slow appreciation. (6) Execution risk for development — construction costs and permitting delays can affect project returns. Dwaik's expertise significantly mitigates the due diligence and market timing risks.
