Net Passing Yield
Thanks Chris for all the information. Just a question on the nett passing yeild. If the net rent is 1,065,983 PA (from web site) and the cost was $7.24M (from the post) how do you arrive at a nett passing yeild of 8.7%. Its possible that I don't understand the term. I would have anticipated that it would have been 1,065,983/7,200,000 x 100 equalling 14.8%
Hi Silas :
Your calculation is correct -- but you have simply used the
wrong figures.
The net rental of $1,065,983 pa is at the time of Sale, NOT
when it was purchased 2.5 years earlier. Also, we'd increased
the net rental through renegotiating some of the leases; as
well as trimming the building outgoings.
So, at the time of selling ... the calculation ought be:
$1,065,983/12,300,000 x 100 = 8.7% ... which, given the age of
the building, was a rather low yield -- but was underpinned by
the permit.
Hopefully, that makes it a little clearer.
