Define your investment goal and holding period
Decide whether you want near-term rental income, a longer-term holding, or a home you can use and let at different times. Compare units against the same goal and intended start date.
Compare net income against the full cost
Ask for recent rental evidence for comparable units and separate signed leases from asking rents. Deduct service charges, management, maintenance and vacancy from expected income. For an unlevered comparison, divide annual net income by full acquisition cost, including fees and fit-out. Stress-test a lower rent or later letting date.
Compare ready and off-plan property
For a ready unit, check occupancy, condition and when possession can transfer. For off-plan, read the contractual payment dates, delay terms, handover and assignment conditions. Include the time before the unit can earn rent.
Compare individual units
Al Mouj, Muscat Hills and Sultan Haitham City are starting points for research. Compare unit references, ownership types, usable areas, building charges and payment obligations. If residency is part of the goal, verify it separately with the official authority.
Bring a shortlist to your meeting
Share your budget, available initial funds, holding period and income timing with Mohamed. Review the options online or in Muscat and identify the documents needed to compare them. Treat projected income as an assumption until you review the evidence and costs.
