How Is Investment Return Calculated?

Understanding return calculation is the foundation for any sound investment decision.

Investment Return Components

Real estate investment return consists of two components:

• Rental yield: the annual income from renting as a percentage of unit value.

• Capital growth: the unit's value rise over time.

Total return = rental yield + capital growth.

Rental Yield Formula

Annual rental yield is calculated by:

• Rental yield = (annual rent ÷ unit price) × 100.

• The result is a percentage expressing the return on capital.

• Example: a 10% yield means recovering capital in 10 years from rent.

Gross and Net Yield

There are two types of yield to distinguish:

• Gross yield: before deducting expenses.

• Net yield: after deducting maintenance, fees, and taxes.

• Net yield is the most accurate for evaluating actual profit.

1. What's the investment return percentage in the Capital?

The return varies by unit type. Annual rental yield: commercial units 8-14% (the highest), administrative 7-12%, residential 4-7%, clinics 8-13%.

For an accurate estimate for a specific unit, contact via WhatsApp +201001703888.

2. Is a commercial shop better than an office for investment?

It depends on your goal. A commercial shop: highest rental yield (8-14%), continuous demand, high capital growth, but medium risks. An administrative office: good yield (7-12%), long contracts with companies, greater stability, slightly lower risks. For the highest return: a commercial shop. For stability and long contracts: an office. Many investors diversify between both to balance return and safety.

3. Is the return guaranteed in the New Administrative Capital?

No investment is 100% guaranteed — this is a fact every conscious investor must know. But the Capital is among the safest investments for reasons: growing demand, population growth, limited supply, and trusted developers. To reduce risks: choose a distinguished location, a trusted developer, and a demanded unit type. The mentioned percentages are estimates based on market studies and not an absolute guarantee. Thoughtful investment with a trusted developer significantly reduces risks.

4. What's the difference between rental and sale as a strategy?

Rental strategy: continuous regular income, retaining the asset, benefiting from capital growth over time, suitable for those who want periodic income. Sale strategy: a one-time capital profit when selling after growth, suitable for those who want liquidity. The optimal strategy: retaining and renting for a period (income + growth) then selling when major growth is realized. This combines rental yield and capital profit.

5. Why are commercial units the highest-yielding?

Commercial units are the highest-yielding for reasons: continuous demand from shops and brands, the possibility of contracts including a percentage of sales, vibrant locations raise value, and commercial tenants pay more for good locations. In the Capital, commercial units in Downtown combine all these advantages. But the highest return comes with medium risks, so choosing the location and developer is important.
