FICTIONAL EXAMPLE · NOT MARKET DATAYou retain 88,300 AED a year, before financing and tax.
What are the assumptions?
Price: AED 1,500,000. Annual rent: AED 120,000. Acquisition costs: 6%. Fit-out: AED 20,000. Vacancy: 5%. Management: 5% of collected rent. Maintenance: AED 4,000. Adjust service charges above. Total cost: AED 1,610,000. Educational assumptions, not an estimate for your property.
I was promised an 8% net yield on a studio in Business Bay. Once service charges, management and vacancy were included, I was closer to 5.8%. I renegotiated the price instead of signing with my eyes closed.

Checked against a document or official source, with its date. This is the only category grounded in verified evidence.
Said or written by someone with an interest in your believing it. A developer, a seller, a brochure. Not yet verified.
An estimate, yours or ours. It can be reasonable and wrong at the same time. It needs testing.
What nobody has told you. This is often where the gap lies between the advertised return and yours.
I spent weeks watching videos by people who were selling something. Here, for the first time, I was also told what they didn't know.
Six areas,
documented field by field.
Each profile explains the area, who developed it, the services operating today and what is merely announced. It then covers what to verify before buying here, and what depends on the building rather than the area.
From an announced project
to a completed property.
We distinguish three things a brochure can blur: what is built and occupied, what is under construction and what exists only as an announcement. Each profile ends with the checks we would make before deciding.
Understand the developer.
Verify the project.
These profiles explain what a developer builds and where, separating verified information from its claims. Each also identifies what its own communications cannot establish. No rankings or invented reliability scores.
What the law says,
and what it does not.
Escrow accounts, Oqood registration, regulator-approved service charges, rent controls and official registration fees. Each rule comes from a published Dubai authority text, with its reference. This is descriptive, verifiable information, not legal advice.
Defensible figures.
Accessible sources.
We would rather show missing data than a figure we cannot defend. Find official sources, their scope and the verification method. Figures whose reuse still requires permission are not reproduced.
Your figures.
Your reading of the market.
A calculation does not replace a check. Once you understand the area, building and developer, these tools turn an asking price into a total cost and a yield promise into a testable assumption.
Your opportunity, in an exportable report.
Generated automatically in your workspace once access is confirmed and your file is entered. No appointment or review queue: no human verifies your property as part of this offer. The time needed mainly depends on gathering your information.

Because we also say
what we do not know.
Each profile shows its sources, dates and limitations. You can trace our analysis back to the underlying documents. Any commercial relationship is clearly disclosed before commitment.
113 documented fields in the area profiles, and 9 declared open questions. The second number matters as much as the first.
