Does this sound like your portfolio?
Your Israeli yields barely beat inflation.
You bought solid apartments in Tel Aviv or Haifa years ago. Appreciation is fine, but the cash yield is a fraction of what your capital could be earning. You know the math. You just have not had a credible alternative.
You hear about Dubai but don't trust foreign developers.
Friends talk about 8 to 11 percent yields and zero income tax. Your worry is the one every Israeli investor has: the developer disappears with your money. Government escrow was invented for exactly that fear.
You don't want to fly to Dubai every quarter.
Even if the numbers work, you live in Israel. Finding tenants, signing contracts, collecting rent, handling maintenance from abroad sounds like a second job, not an investment.
You hear about today's entry window but don't trust it.
The current moment has created unusual offers. Guaranteed yields, buy-back guarantees, 5 to 30 percent cash discounts. You want to know which are real and which units carry them.
Why the entry window is unusual
Offers you can actually verify
The current moment has created unusual terms. Guaranteed yields of 7 to 10 percent and buy-back guarantees exist on select units, and we show you which are real.
Cash discounts of 5 to 30 percent
Full-payment buyers unlock 5 to 30 percent discounts on select projects. We tell you which units carry them before you commit.
Appreciation on top of yield
Dubai property has appreciated 10 to 20 percent per year over the last few years, on top of the rental income.
What changes with Schmidt & Partner
01
Your shekels finally earn at Dubai rates
Israeli real estate yields 2 to 5 percent. Dubai delivers 8 to 11 percent rental income annually, plus the appreciation the market has run each year. The current window adds guaranteed yields and cash discounts on select units.
02
Your dirhams never touch the developer until handover
Every dirham you pay goes into a Dubai-government-regulated escrow account. Funds are released only when independently verified construction milestones are completed. We only place clients into escrow-secured projects.
03
First rent in your Israeli bank within 90 days
We find the tenants, sign the contracts, manage the building, and transfer rent to your Israeli bank account every month. Or we open a Dubai bank account with a worldwide credit card. You do not need to step on a plane.
Where is your capital actually working?
A 2 million NIS apartment in Tel Aviv yields about 50,000 NIS per year before tax. The same capital in Dubai, deployed across pre-vetted yield units, returns 160,000 to 220,000 NIS per year, tax-free at the personal level. Over a decade, the gap is life-changing.

Why we started Schmidt & Partner
Tobias M. F. Schmidt
Founder
German real estate economist
Tobias trained as a real estate economist in Germany and built his foundation at Deutsche Bank as an independent financial advisor before relocating to Dubai over a decade ago. What he kept seeing was the same story: international investors sold whatever paid the broker best, with no one on their side of the table.
Schmidt & Partner was built to be the investor-side answer. German underwriting standards on the numbers, government-regulated escrow only, and full hands-off management after purchase, so your capital works in Dubai while you live your life in Israel.

Common questions before your strategy call
How exactly does the escrow protection work?
Every payment you make goes into a Dubai-government-regulated escrow account, not the developer's bank account. Funds are released to the developer only when independently verified construction milestones are completed. If the developer fails to deliver, your money is recoverable. This is the single biggest structural difference between buying in Dubai and buying anywhere else.
What yield can I realistically expect?
Standard Dubai rental yields run 6 to 9 percent annually on quality units. The current market window adds guaranteed yields of 7 to 10 percent on select projects, plus property appreciation that has run 10 to 20 percent per year over the last few years. We will model your specific unit on the strategy call so you see real numbers, not averages.
Do I need to fly to Dubai to buy or manage the property?
No. We handle everything end to end. Strategy call by Zoom, contracts signed digitally or via Israeli notary, management handled by our Dubai team, returns transferred to your Israeli bank monthly. Most clients visit Dubai once a year if they want to, not because they have to.
How are the rental returns sent to me?
Two options. We can transfer rent directly to your Israeli bank account each month in your preferred currency, or we open a Dubai bank account in your name with a worldwide credit card so you can draw funds anywhere. We will pick the right structure based on how you want to use the income.
What is the actual tax situation?
Dubai charges zero personal income tax on rental income and zero capital gains tax. There is a one-time Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4 percent on purchase. Your Israeli tax situation depends on your residency and structure. We work alongside Israeli tax advisors to ensure your setup is fully compliant on both sides.
What is the minimum capital to get started?
Entry units start around 800,000 to 1,000,000 NIS, with about 25 percent down payment on installment plans. Full cash purchases unlock 5 to 30 percent discounts. We will show you the entry-level options and the higher-yield options on the call so you can pick the fit.
What if I want to exit the investment later?
Several of the developers we work with offer formal buy-back guarantees on specific units, meaning they will repurchase the property at a defined price after a set holding period. For other units, the standard exit is resale through our network. We will be upfront about which exit options apply to which units before you commit.
Why work with you instead of a Dubai broker?
Dubai brokers represent the developer. We represent the investor. Our compensation does not depend on selling you a specific project, and we routinely turn down projects that do not pass our underwriting. You also get German engineering rigor on the numbers, full hands-off management on the operating side, and ongoing portfolio service after purchase.
What happens after I submit the form?
You receive an email confirmation within 24 hours and Tobias or a senior member of the team will reach out to schedule your strategy call. No surprise calls, no high-pressure sales follow-up, just a clear next step.
