The formula
Net yield = (annual income − service charge − management − insurance − void allowance) ÷ (purchase price + 4% DLD + 2% agency). For Arabian Ranches that starts from AED 200,000 income against a AED 1,482,000 purchase, or AED 260,471 if hosted short-term.
Add appreciation
Total return is yield plus capital growth. Arabian Ranches has tracked Dubai's broader appreciation cycle; model a conservative 4–7% a year over a five-year hold and stress-test at zero.
