Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between gross and net rental yield?
- Gross yield = annual rent / property price × 100. Net yield deducts operating expenses before dividing by price. Net yield is a more accurate measure of actual return.
- What rental yield should I target?
- A net yield of 5–8% is generally considered solid for residential rentals. Below 4% may be hard to cash-flow positively. Higher yields often come with higher risk or lower-quality tenants.
