Rental Property Investment Tips
Aim for a net rental yield of at least 4-6% for a good return on investment
Factor in all expenses including maintenance, insurance, property tax, and management fees
Consider location carefully - properties in high-demand areas typically have lower vacancy rates
Account for vacancy periods when calculating expected income - 5-10% is typical
Property management fees typically range from 8-12% of monthly rent
Set aside 1-2% of property value annually for maintenance and repairs
Higher gross yields don't always mean better investments - net yield is more important
Consider property appreciation potential alongside rental yield for total return
Research local rental market rates to ensure competitive pricing
Keep detailed records of all expenses for tax purposes and accurate yield calculations
Review and adjust rental rates annually based on market conditions
Consider tax implications of rental income in your jurisdiction
