Work Out the Yield on a Rental

Copy

I look at rental properties and only ever calculate gross yield, which I know is misleading. Build me a rental yield calculator. Let me enter purchase price, purchase costs, expected monthly rent, and then the real running costs as separate lines: management fee percentage, maintenance allowance as a percentage of rent, insurance, service charge, ground rent and a void allowance in weeks per year. Work out gross yield, net yield, annual net income, and the monthly cash position after any mortgage payment I enter. Let me save and compare several properties side by side. Add an AI agent that stress tests a property against a longer void, a maintenance shock and an interest rate rise, and tells me plainly at what point it stops working. Automate a scheduled annual review reminder for each held property to update rent and costs against reality. Two logins: an owner who sees the full portfolio, and an adviser who can model but not change held records.

// the spark catches · intelligence awakens · the answer unfolds

Gross yield flatters every property. This works out the net figure after the costs people leave out, and shows the monthly cash position that decides whether it works.

What's Included

  • Gross and net yield with the gap explained by real costs.
  • Voids, management, and maintenance included rather than wished away.
  • Monthly cash position after any finance costs.
  • An assistant that stress tests it against a void or a rate rise.

How To Use

  1. Always include a void allowance. Full occupancy is not an assumption.
  2. Budget maintenance as a percentage of rent, not as an optimistic figure.
  3. Look at monthly cash as well as yield. Yield does not pay a bill.
  4. Stress test against a rate rise before you buy, not after.

Compare several properties with the ROI calculator, and run the portfolio with real estate prompts.
