Frequently Asked Questions

Rental yield is a measure of the return you receive from your investment property. It helps you understand the relationship between your rental income and the property’s value.

Gross rental yield provides a simple calculation:

Gross yield = (annual rental income ÷ property value) × 100

Example:
Weekly rent: $600
Annual rent: $600 × 52 = $31,200
Property value: $550,000
Gross yield = ($31,200 ÷ $550,000) × 100 = 5.67 %

Gross yield offers a helpful comparison across properties, but it does not account for expenses.

Net rental yield provides a more realistic indicator of investment return by including operating costs.

Net yield = (annual rent − annual expenses) ÷ property value × 100

Expenses may include:
– strata fees
– council and water rates
– property management fees
– insurance
– maintenance
– periods of vacancy

In the example above, the annual rent received (gross income) was $31,200. Let’s assume your expenses total $9,200.

Example of calculating net yield:
Net income = $31,200 − $9,200 = $22,000 Net yield = ($22,000 ÷ $550,000) × 100 = 4.0 %

Net yield is the best metric for understanding long-term cash flow. It helps you truly assess whether this is a viable investment.

A rental appraisal is a professional assessment of the rental value of your property. It provides a clear indication of the weekly or monthly rent your property could achieve based on current market conditions.

During a rental appraisal, a property manager will assess:
– the property’s size, layout, condition, and features
– the location, surrounding amenities, and tenant demand in the area
– recent rents achieved for comparable properties
– current market activity and expected leasing trends.

A rental appraisal helps you set a competitive rent by combining data, local knowledge, and property insights. It can also inform your broader investment decisions and support long-term planning.
