This is what Cardinal just found on a real JVC listing

Investment Committee — real example

Cash Flow Investor

6.8% net yield sits above Dubai's apartment average — a reasonable base case for income-focused buyers.

Capital Growth Investor

JVC apartments are up only 5.3% over 12 months vs villas at 20.6% — don't expect villa-style appreciation here.

Risk Analyst

High new supply keeps resale competitive — this is a liquid market, not a scarce one. Negotiate accordingly.

Committee Consensus: Proceed — but confirm your comparables are apartments, not villas, before finalizing your offer.

Why Cardinal

Built for Dubai real estate investors

Most overseas buyers get a glossy brochure and a rental yield promise. Cardinal gives investors the numbers an agent won't volunteer.

True net yield

Factors in DLD fees, agency commission, and service charges — not just the headline rent-over-price number.

Zone and developer risk

A read on delivery track record and area maturity, so an attractive yield doesn't hide a shaky project.

Side-by-side comparison

Stack multiple listings against each other on the same metrics before you commit to any one of them.
