Which rental strategy?
Small, well-located units (studio, 1-bedroom) rent and resell fastest: in El Jadida, a new 1-bedroom costs MAD 420,000 – MAD 780,000.
Long-term letting for steady income, furnished or seasonal letting where tourist demand exists (licence to check). Yield is never guaranteed: it depends on location, vacancy, charges and tax.
Tax: rental income taxed at 10 to 15% of gross rents; capital gains on resale taxed at 20% (minimum 3% of the price). To confirm with a notary or tax adviser.
