Practical property advice

How much does your rental property really earn?

Gross rental yield does not account for management fees, maintenance, insurance, certificates, void periods, financing or tax. Compare sustainable net income against the property value and risks, not just the advertised monthly rent.

Practical steps to consider

  • Step 1

    Use realistic annual rent and explicit assumptions.

  • Step 2

    Budget for maintenance and unexpected periods without rent.

  • Step 3

    Seek advice on personal tax and financing obligations.
