FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a good rental yield?
Gross yields of about 5–8% are often considered reasonable, but it depends heavily on the city and how much the property is expected to grow in value.
Gross vs net yield?
Gross is yearly rent ÷ price. Net takes off running costs and empty periods and adds buying costs to the price — it's the more realistic number.
