I suspect they have more than half a clue, do their jobs very well and caught every dollar from the last "boom"... and every dollar since Seen bank profits lately???
It is 5% yield if purchase price is 400K and the rent is $400 pw.
Method 2: Kind of out of pocket yield.
Net yield = (Rent * 40 weeks - Actual loan * Interest rate + Depreciation) /Actual loan
I include only 40 weeks to count for other expenses and vacancy.
Method 3: Actual Yield
Net yield = (Actual Rental income - All costs)/Actual loan
Method 4: Yield if you are using LOC for deposit + costs to see if a deal is worth it.
Mortgage = Purchase Price * 105%
Net yield = (Rent * 40 weeks - Mortgage * Interest rate) /Mortgage
I use Method 4... but may be that is the reason I'm struggling to buy anything
nek - do you have an equation for yields net of expenses before tax?
... would it be say rent x weeks - expenses / price
200 * 40= 8000 - 2500 =5500/155000 = 3.5%?

They have about half a clue at most. But one thing you say is true. They do their jobs very well, that's why they're a CEO on a salary.
Re yield, the only true measures are:
Net Income / Total Cost of Property
or
Net Income - Interest / Total Cash Spent
Net income include everything from land tax, insurance, repairs, council rates etc. Total cost of property includes renovations, stamp duty, lawyers' fees etc.
