How to Achieve a 10% Net Yield in Dubai

## Pick the Right Submarket JVC, Dubai South and Business Bay offer the most resilient short-let yields. Avoid Downtown studios for short-let — supply is too high. ## Furnish to Premium Standard A AED 50,000 furniture spend on a 1-bed unlocks AED 1,800–2,500 ADR on Airbnb. Payback typically inside 18 months. ## Use a Licensed Operator You must hold a DTCM holiday-home licence to short-let in Dubai. Operators charge 18–25% management fee. ## Watch the Calendar Plan rate increases around DSF, Cityscape, Expo events and the Formula 1 weekend — they typically lift ADR by 60–80%.
