Understanding gross vs net yield

Gross yield is simply annual rent divided by purchase price — a quick headline figure. Net yield is what you actually receive after deducting management fees, maintenance, insurance, local taxes, and allowing for vacancy periods.

A property advertising a 10% gross yield may deliver only 6–7% net once costs are accounted for. Always model net yield when comparing opportunities across different markets, as cost structures vary significantly — UAE service charges, Thai management fees, and UK letting agent costs are very different in both scale and structure.

Target net yields of 6–8%+ are achievable in markets like Dubai, Egypt, and Bali. UK social housing targets 8–12% net via FRI leases. Speak to an adviser for current realistic yield benchmarks by market.
