Stake is a Dubai-based FinTech startup, regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), that enables investors to access real estate in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the US through fractional ownership. Founded in 2020 by Rami Tabbarra and Manar Mahmassani, Stake aims to democratize property investment by allowing users to start with a minimum investment of just AED 500.
The Stake platform operates as a fully digital crowdfunding solution, offering pre-vetted, income-generating rental properties. Once an investment is made, Stake handles acquisition, property management, maintenance, and tenant relationships, distributing rental income monthly to investors. This approach allows users to earn passive income while benefiting from both rental yields and long-term capital appreciation, without the operational burden of traditional property ownership.
Key features of Stake include low entry thresholds, diversified investment options ranging from rental-focused properties to capital-flip projects, and full regulatory compliance. The platform is tailored for retail investors seeking accessible, liquid, and high-yield opportunities. Recent developments include the launch of StakeOne, a personalized property acquisition and management service, and a strategic investment from Property Finder Group to scale operations.
By combining transparency, technological innovation, and professional property management, Stake is establishing itself as a leading force in regional proptech, transforming how investors participate in the real estate market across the UAE and beyond.
