Pays from day one — check the rent yourself

Rented normally, you'd make about $489 a month.

The rent is our own estimate — worth checking against two or three real local lettings. One month without a tenant wipes out about 4 months of that profit, so keep a buffer for gaps.

Why it works

Monthly profit +$489/mo from completion — the no.1 reason to invest
This is the money left after the mortgage, the running costs and tax — not the rent.It assumes the rent we modelled and the empty weeks we assumed. Change either and it moves. Try your own numbers →
15.44% 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 $169,000 asked, so there is no discount this card has to name. A lower price would be upside, not a condition.
worked back from the rent
