Understanding Your Rental Yields

Understanding your rental yields is crucial for making smart investment decisions. While the advertised rent might look appealing, the true return considers costs, taxes, and periods when the property isn’t occupied.

Void Period Costs

Empty properties mean lost income. Factor in potential gaps between tenancies and remember that longer void periods can significantly reduce your annual yield.

Maintenance Expenses

Repairs, regular maintenance, and emergency fixes all eat into your profits. Keeping a realistic maintenance budget ensures your calculations reflect the actual returns you can expect.

Tax Implications

Income tax, capital gains, and allowable deductions all impact your bottom line. Understanding what you can offset and what you must pay helps you plan more accurately.

ROI Analysis

Calculating your return on investment isn’t just about rent versus purchase price. Include all outgoings, potential voids, and tax liabilities to see the full picture of your property’s profitability.
