Return on Investment

Return on investment is essentially the ratio of income and expenses. Rent represents income. As for expenses, they include the registration fee (AED 4000 fixed) and the Dubai Land Department fee (2% of the price, which is AED 9346 in our case) as well as housing maintenance costs (if it’s AED 5.5 per square foot, then the total cost will sum up to about AED 2400 annually).
Considering the data that we have, ROI = (38,000 / 467,321) * 100% = 8.1%.
