    Just so there is no confusion I think Michael may have made a math error – [?][:P]

    quote:


    So, a property advertised as $130,000 returing $170pw, would have a yield of 150*52/130,000=0.068 (6.8%).


    At a rental of $170pw the calcualtion would be
    170*52/130,000
    The yield works out right, so just a typo…

    Pete.

    p.s. didnt mean to correct you Michael, but thought I would correct the typo in case some newbies got confused [:D]

    …Beware of the dreamtakers…
