Breaks even — no room for anything to go wrong

Rented normally, it breaks even at this price — nothing left over at the end of the month, either way.

The rent is our own estimate, not a signed tenancy. One empty month, one boiler, one rate rise and it is costing you money. It only works if you are buying for the capital growth, or buying it cheaper.

Why it works

9.19% 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

Monthly profit −$0/mo — small, and paying down the mortgage may make up for it
You would be topping it up every month, from your own income, for as long as you hold it.That can still be the plan if you are buying for capital growth — but it should be a decision, not a surprise. Try your own numbers →
No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.

What would have to be true?
No offer works back from a stand-in rent
Every price on this card is that rent inverted. This listing’s rent is a wider-area figure rather than a like-for-like comparison of nearby rentals, and a price worked back from it would be quoted to the $5,000 on evidence that cannot carry it.
