Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good rental yield in Australia?
Gross yields average around 3.6% in Sydney and 4.8% in Brisbane.
What is the difference between gross and net yield?
Gross yield ignores costs; net yield deducts management, maintenance, strata and voids.
How do strata fees affect yield?
Strata levies reduce net income and can materially lower yield on apartments.
Does negative gearing change yield?
Negative gearing affects after-tax return, not the pre-tax yield calculation.
