Quick answer

## Yields, strategy and returns

Dubai is attractive for income: rental yields are 5–9% gross — high by global standards — with no tax on rental income and no capital gains tax. Affordable areas (JVC, Dubai South, Business Bay) sit at the top (7–9%); prime (Downtown, Dubai Marina) yields ~5–6% but with stronger capital growth. Two core strategies: rental income (mid-market) and capital growth (prime and off-plan). Entry starts from ~AED 500k.
