Understanding Rental Yield
What is Rental Yield?
Rental yield measures the annual return on your property investment as a percentage. It helps investors compare different properties and assess whether an investment will generate sufficient income relative to its cost.
Gross vs Net Yield

- Net yield: Accounts for all expenses
- Net yield gives a more accurate picture
- Always compare net yields between properties
