Frequently asked questions
What is rental yield?
Gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price × 100. For example €600/month × 12 = €7,200/year; price €100,000: yield = 7.2%.
What is rental yield and how is it calculated?
It is the property's annual return from rent. Gross yield = annual rent ÷ price × 100. For a 12,000,000 lek apartment with rent of 60,000 lek a month, gross yield is 6%.
What is the difference between gross and net yield?
Gross ignores expenses, while net subtracts maintenance, taxes, insurance and vacant months. Net is closer to real profit.
What is the cash flow of a rental property?
It is the difference between rent collected and all expenses, including the loan payment if there is one. Positive cash flow means the property pays for itself.
