Rental yield is the key metric for any investor. In Marrakech, it varies significantly from one neighborhood to another: choosing the right area can add several percentage points to your yield.
What is a good yield in Marrakech?
Generally, a gross rental yield of 5 to 8% is considered healthy in Marrakech. If it's higher, verify that it doesn't hide a risk (an unpopular neighborhood, a property overvalued at purchase).
Gross Yield = (Monthly Rent × 12 ÷ Purchase Price) × 100
Comparing Neighborhoods
Yield depends on the ratio between purchase price and achievable rent. Affordable neighborhoods often offer a better gross yield than premium areas. To compare objectively, consult the calculated rental yield for each neighborhood on the Marrakech market.
Long-Term or Tourist Rental?
- Long-Term — Stable income, simple management, moderate yield.
- Seasonal / Tourist — Higher potential but active management and seasonality.
Never Overpay When Buying
Yield is primarily determined at the moment of purchase: paying 10% too much permanently undermines your yield. Before making any offer, estimate the property's real value with Evaluation.ma — the reference tool for assessing a property at fair market value in Morocco.
