Common questions
What is a good rental yield?
There is no single right figure. Compare a home's yield with others in the same locality, using asking prices and rents from the rates pages, and with what the same money would earn elsewhere.
What is the difference between gross and net yield?
Gross yield uses the full year's rent. Net yield first subtracts maintenance, property tax and lost rent while the home is empty.
