How it works

Gross yield = yearly rent ÷ price. Payback = total cost ÷ yearly net income.

Resale vs developer: buying from a seller usually adds the 4% Dubai Land Department fee, agent commission of about 2% plus VAT and a trustee fee, but rent starts straight away. Buying from a developer usually adds the 4% fee only, but an off-plan home earns no rent until handover, so your real payback starts later. Mortgage costs are not included.
