Yields are gross: annual rent divided by purchase price. Service charges, occupancy and management fees are inputs you set, not assumptions we hide. The only forward-looking figure is a five-year rent total at a stated 3% growth rate; we make no price forecasts. When a source changes, we correct the figure and say so.
This site advertises no properties and gives no financial, legal or tax advice. There are no countdowns, no "last units" and no promises about future prices. The editor is a licensed broker and earns a commission if you buy through him; that is disclosed on every page.

Under rules reported in February 2026, the earlier upfront-payment requirement no longer applies, so off-plan and mortgaged properties may qualify too. The UAE levies no personal income tax on the rent and no annual property tax on the asset. Eligibility depends on ownership, financing and the authority in charge, so confirm the current requirements with DLD or GDRFA before you buy.
