Frequently Asked Questions

What is rental yield?

Rental yield is the annual rental income expressed as a percentage of the property's purchase price. Gross yield uses income only; net yield deducts expenses like maintenance, insurance, and management fees.

What is a good rental yield?

A gross rental yield of 5–8% is generally considered good in most markets. Net yields of 3–5% after expenses are common. High-yield areas may offer 8–12% but often come with higher risk or lower capital growth.

What is the difference between rental yield and capital growth?

Rental yield measures income return (rent as % of property value). Capital growth measures how much the property's value increases over time. Total return combines both.
