In this episode, Simon and Rennie dive into Dubai's real estate market to uncover the best spots for rental yields and capital growth. They focus largely on Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), and Dubai South, breaking down the pros and cons for both investors and tenants.
Dubai Marina remains a tenant favourite, known for its prime location and vibrant lifestyle. However, with high property prices, it presents a big entry hurdle for investors. While rental yields stay strong, the return on investment (ROI) can be lower due to the high costs.
Despite this, Dubai Marina's top-notch infrastructure and amenities keep it a go-to for investors.
Then there's JVC. Just ten minutes from Dubai Marina, this area has recently stepped up its game, offering modern apartments at a more affordable price. As a result, investors here often enjoy stronger rental yields and ROI. Plus, with a surge in short-term rentals from corporate clients, JVC is becoming even more attractive to landlords.
The experts also looked at Dubai South as another rising star, offering affordable rents and a developing infrastructure, thanks to its proximity to the Expo 2020 site and Al Maktoum International Airport. While rental returns here may not match Dubai Marina or JVC, the area holds strong potential for capital appreciation as it continues to grow.
Simon and Rennie also explored the trade-off investors face between rental yields and capital appreciation. Areas like JVC strike a balance, with solid rental returns now and growth potential as the community matures. Meanwhile, places like Dubai South may require patience but promise long-term gains as development ramps up.
For those eyeing off plan projects, Dubai South and its surrounding areas are prime opportunities, with major developments and infrastructure on the rise, echoing the early days of JVC.
