What is gross yield in property?
  • Gross yield is a quick check to see if a property is likely to be a good investment without considering the cost of the property. You look at the total rental income received from the tenant of a property divided by the sale price. It is calculated by expressing the annual rental income earned from a property as a percentage of how much the property cost. A general indication of a property worth investigating further is a gross yield higher than 10% and ideally closer to 15%
Example
  • Property purchase price:R2 000 000
  • Annual rental income or “yield”: R140 000
  • (R140 000 divided by R2 000 000 ) x 100 = 7%
  • Gross Yield:7.0% per annum
What is net yield in property?
  • Net yield is the yield after paying for any costs relating to that income such as management fees, municipal rates, levy, homeowners association fees, repairs and maintenance. Typically the “net yield” is used for the purposes of the ROI calculation.
What are rental escalations?
  • A rental escalation refers to when the property owner increases the rental charged to the tenant occupying the property. These escalations typically take place on an annual basis and result in an increase in the rental yield on the property.
What is capital growth?
  • Capital growth (also called capital gain) is the increase in the value of a property over time. It is the difference between the purchase price/cost and the sale price of the property.
Example
  • Property purchase price on 1 January 2020:R2 000 000
  • Property sales price on 1 January 2022:R2 500 000
  • Capital growth: R500 000
Capital Growth vs Yield – which is more important?
  • Both capital growth and yield are important considerations in any property investment. These two variables tend to move in opposite directions to one another:
  • A property with high capital growth expectations typically has a lower yield (eg. an apartment in Camps Bay); whereas a property with a higher yield typically has lower capital growth expectations (eg. an apartment in the Johannesburg CBD)
  • Investors seeking higher disposable income may have a preference for higher-yielding property investments with higher rental income.
  • Investors with a longer-term view may be prepared to accept lower yields in exchange for greater capital growth in the longer term
  • It is important to note that Capital Gain is never a guaranty and the prices of properties in any area can experience low growth or even negative growth over certain periods.
