Compare: tax-free property income

The same $50,000 placed in a Dubai rental property at a typical 8.5% gross yield would generate about $4,250/year in rental income — roughly $42,500 over 10 years, with 0% capital gains and 0% income tax in the UAE. Property is illiquid and yields vary; this is a rental-income comparison, not a guaranteed return.
