- 02Add the expected monthly rent and a vacancy rate.
- 03Add monthly running costs (management, maintenance, fees) and read your yields.

Avoid the classic mistake of judging a deal by gross rent.
Vacancy aware
Factor in empty months — essential for short-term rentals.
Payback period
Know how many years of income repay your investment.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good rental yield?
It depends on the city. As a rough guide, 5–8% net is solid in many markets; prime city centres often yield less but appreciate more.
What is the cap rate?
Net operating income (rent minus vacancy and expenses) divided by the total property cost. It ignores financing.
Does it include a mortgage?
No — it measures the property itself. Use the mortgage calculator to add financing costs.
