By law, if you have a residency permit based on the ownership of qualified property, you may not accept employment in the country because that is against the purpose for which the permit is issued.
Such permits are issued for 5 years and are "renewable." Keep in mind that your residence permit can be cancelled without warning or notice for any reason at the sole discretion of the government.
Also, the subject property can be confiscated at their discretion for the sake of "public interest".
In other words, you really don't "own" it, but you are paying for the potential right to use and to stay in Qatar, which can be revoked at any time without refund.
