ROI

Total return on investment, combining rental income with capital appreciation from purchase to sale.

ROI (return on investment) for an off-plan property combines two sources: rental income (typically realised from handover onwards) and capital appreciation (the difference between purchase price and resale price). UAE off-plan investors frequently target 30–60% capital appreciation by handover plus 6–7% annual gross yield post-handover.
