Yes. In designated freehold areas (including Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai and most new developments), foreign nationals can buy property with full 100% ownership, no local sponsor or residency required.

There is no personal income tax and no capital gains tax for individuals. The one-time cost is the Dubai Land Department (DLD) registration fee, 4% of the purchase price, paid at the time of transfer.

Not as a headline number. A yield needs an actual achieved rent, and rental contracts are not in the data we can republish, so we do not print one. For a specific unit we will model it with you from the building's service charge and its actual asking rent, and show you the assumptions. What we do publish is Land Department registered sale prices per square foot for every Dubai community with at least ten registered sales in a year, at /market and building by building at /sold, and developer asking prices alongside them for the communities clearing our eight-project minimum.

A qualifying property investment of at least AED 2 million (around USD 545,000) can make you eligible for the 10-year Golden Visa, a residency permit that extends to your immediate family.

Off-plan means buying directly from the developer before completion, on a staged payment plan. Buyer funds sit in a RERA-regulated escrow account, protected under Law No. 8 of 2007, and the developer can only draw against verified construction progress.
