Thin — worth an offer, not the asking price

Rented normally, you'd make about $82 a month.

That is thin: one empty month wipes out a year of that profit. The rent is our own estimate, not a signed tenancy. The problem is the gap between them is too small to absorb anything going wrong.

Solid

Rented normally at the asking price, this works with risks you can price in — 10.07% return before costs on price.

Why it works

10.07% return before costs — above-market
Rent over price, before any costs. Useful for comparing streets; it is not money you keep.Two properties on the same yield can leave you very different amounts. See what you keep →

Why to be cautious

No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.
