It is really amazing how much things have changed. Six years ago, when we first set out to look at rental returns in Lebanon, gross rental yields averaged 10% to 11%.
In 2013, you would be lucky to receive a return of 4.5% on your property, and larger properties will yields less, at 3.5%.
Central Beirut apartments are now, in 2013, priced at around US$3,700 to US$4,700 per square metre.
When we did our first survey in 2004, prices averaged around US$1,200! So prices have risen a lot, which explains the much lower yields.
