Thin — worth an offer, not the asking price

Rented normally, you'd make about $61 a month.

That is thin: one empty month wipes out a year of that profit. The rent rests on 26 similar homes letting within 5.0 km, so treat it as a guide. The problem is the gap between them is too small to absorb anything going wrong.

Research, not financial advice

Why it works

10.49% 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 →

What would have to be true?

Nothing — it works at the asking price

The rent covers the mortgage, the running costs and the tax at the $298,000 asked, so there is no discount this card has to name. A lower price would be upside, not a condition.

These are this page's own derivation notes, unedited. A figure marked a typical figure, not a quote is our model of a cost for a property of this kind in this area — not a price anybody has given you, and the first thing worth replacing with a real one.
