Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between gross and net rental yield?
Gross yield is annual rent ÷ property value. Net yield subtracts operating expenses first — typically 35–50% of rent — and is the number that actually predicts cash flow.
What is a good rental yield?
Gross yields of 6–10% are common targets in US markets; net yields of 4–7% are solid. High-yield areas often trade growth for management intensity — pick the tradeoff deliberately.
What is the 1% rule and is it still realistic?
The rule of thumb says monthly rent should be ≥1% of purchase price. In most 2020s metros it is rare; treat it as a screening ideal, not a dealbreaker, and run full numbers on anything close.
