Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I calculate ROI for a holiday home in Dubai?
- Subtract your total annual expenses (service charges, DEWA, management fees) from your gross revenue, divide this net income by your total investment (purchase price plus DLD fee, agency fee and furnishing) and multiply by 100. HostLab AI does this for you: enter the acquisition costs in the calculator to include them.
- What is the average occupancy rate for short-term rentals in Dubai Marina?
- Occupancy in Dubai Marina typically ranges between 85% and 92% a year, with strong differences between high season (October–April) and low season (May–September). The calculator applies Dubai seasonality month by month, and AI Market Analysis estimates occupancy for your specific unit.
- How much are property management fees in Dubai?
- Management fees for short-term rentals in Dubai usually range from 15% to 25% of revenue. They typically cover marketing, guest communication, check-ins and coordination of cleaning; cleaning fees are often paid by the guest.
- Is it better to rent short-term or long-term in Dubai?
- Short-term rentals can deliver higher gross yields than long-term leases in prime areas, but with more volatility and higher operating costs. Use the calculator and AI Market Analysis to see the difference for your specific unit.
