Pros and cons in a Transparent Manner
Pros:
-Stake application is user friendly.
-The team is very responsive.
-A lot of investment opportunities.
Cons:
- Lack of transparency on the net rent yield. what they refer to as net rent yield is actually : ( the total gross rent yield- rent costs) / (price of purchase of property, excluding purchasing cost). It is nowhere mentioned the actual net rent yield will be received by the investor, unless you do the calculation yourself using the projections or when you transfer the funds and you choose your investment, they mention the expected monthly amount of rent you will receive but not the monthly return in percentage. I invested in two projects and the actual net rent yield is always around ~4 point something% the first year, god knows what it will be the next years. The other figures you see on the platform and projections are all advertisements...etc. If you want to know the actual net rent yield, do your own calculations as follows using the projections file : ( Gross rent- rent running costs)/ ( price of property + purchasing transaction costs). They will never mention this figure, it is usually around ~4 point something % !
- Every time you pay with a foreign debit card, they will debit 1% extra of fees and they give it to you later as a reward to encourage you to invest more next time !
- I just noticed and confirmed something terrific that was already highlighted by another person on TrustPilot, it seems like Stake increases the property price compared to the actual price. They stay always under the price indicated in the valuation report and probably make the difference in their pocket. Before investing, make sure to benchmark the price by yourself on PropertyFinder and Bayut. The pictures, the floor, the surface and building are the same.
Conclusion: Stake offers much less return compared to SmartCrowd, but on the other hand they offer more investment opportunities. It can be used as a secondary option for diversification if need be. With this feedback, I wish the team will display in near future in a transparent manner IN THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT ( not just before proceeding with payment) the ACTUAL net rent yield will be RECEIVED by investors to avoid disappointments.
The company should show to investors in a transparent manner, the contract used and bank transfer made to purchase the property and rent it as well as the invoices they used to buy furniture and pay the other 3rd party service providers. There is a huge lack of transparency, be careful.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to outline your experience. Transparency and clarity are core to what we do at Stake, and we’re always looking for ways to improve and ensure investors have all the information they need upfront.
Regarding the net rental yield, we want to clarify that the figure displayed on our property page reflects the net yield based on the property price, as this is the widely recognized industry benchmark. However, we understand your concerns and would like to reiterate that the initial investment price does include transaction costs, such as purchasing and setup costs, in line with standard real estate procedures.
To ensure transparency, we explicitly present the net projected amount in AED in your cart before you complete your investment. This way, investors have a complete understanding of the expected returns and can calculate their individual net yield with all costs factored in. We are always working to improve how this information is communicated, and we value your suggestion to make this even more prominent. Our focus remains on providing consistent, stable returns for our investors over the duration of the holding period.
With regard to debit card charges, Stake does not impose any fees for card transactions. When you make a payment using a debit card, the charge is processed in AED. Any additional fees you may see are imposed by your issuing bank as part of their international transaction policies. To avoid such fees, we always recommend using a bank transfer for funding, which can be more cost-effective.
Finally, we’re glad to hear that you find Stake’s platform user-friendly and responsive, and we truly value your trust in us for your investments. We are committed to continuously improving our platform and processes, and your feedback is vital in helping us achieve that. Please rest assured that we take your input seriously.
Thank you again for your constructive feedback, and we look forward to continuing to support your investment journey with Stake. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us directly at contact@getstake.com—we’re always here to help.

Stake is an utterly unreliable platform…
Stake is an utterly unreliable platform for investment. The process of buying and selling properties is excruciatingly slow, often dragging on for 2 to 3 months just to receive your rental income. The returns are grossly exaggerated in their property descriptions, leaving investors misled and frustrated. Once you invest, consider your money as good as lost.
While they claim to offer two exit windows per year, selling your property is a nightmare. There’s no guarantee of finding a buyer, and if you’re desperate to sell, you’ll be forced to slash prices by 10%, 15%, or even 20%—and still wait a year or more. The exorbitant fees they charge wipe out any rental income you might earn, making the entire exercise pointless. Worse, rent payments are halted during the selling process, adding insult to injury.
The so-called customer care team is nothing short of arrogant, treating investors with disdain and rudeness. I deeply regret ever trusting this platform and can’t wait to sell out my investments to cut my losses. Avoid this scam at all costs. Don’t throw your hard-earned money into this black hole.

Hi, thank you for sharing your concerns, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience on Stake. We’d like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points and address your feedback directly.
On Rental Income and Property Transfers:
At Stake, we guarantee that rent payments will begin within a maximum of 2 months after a property is fully funded. While the property transfer process involves multiple steps and external approvals, it is completed within a few weeks of funds being raised, ensuring the rental cycle starts quickly.
On Exit Options and Long-Term Investment Strategy:
Real estate is a long-term investment, and to achieve optimal returns, we recommend holding your shares for the full property sale (typically 3-5 years). Early exits through the exit window are available as an option but are not our recommended approach for maximizing returns. This is because initial appreciation within the first year or two often does not outweigh transaction costs.
The exit window is designed as a means of liquidity for those who need it. However, the sale depends on demand and the presence of willing buyers, which can occasionally impact pricing and timelines.
We are committed to making real estate investment accessible, transparent, and rewarding for our investors. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving the experience for all our users.
If you’d like to discuss your concerns further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at contact@getstake.com
Great Experience
My experience with Stake has been exceptional. The platform is intuitive and user-friendly, making the entire investment process smooth and efficient. I truly appreciate the effort Stake puts into creating a seamless experience for investors.
One suggestion for improvement would be to enable payments via credit cards in addition to debit cards. This would offer greater flexibility and convenience for investors who wish to maximize their contributions. If credit card payments were available, I would rate it 5 stars.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with my experience and confident in Stake's commitment to continuous innovation. Highly recommended!

Everything was straight forward from the registration to my first investment. When you first provide your documents in your native language they say it can take up to 6 weeks for approval. In my case it took 2 minutes. Again very positive and professional approach.
