Frequently Asked Questions
Gross vs net yield? +
Gross yield ignores expenses — it's just rent ÷ price. Net yield subtracts holding costs (rates, insurance, management, maintenance) and gives a much more realistic picture of returns.
What's a 'good' yield? +
Depends on the market. Australian capital-city houses often yield 2–4% gross; regional areas can be 5–7%. Higher yield usually means lower capital growth — a trade-off, not a free lunch.
