    It’s in a book by Brad Sugars… purchase price x 1.6 should equal likely rent. eg buy for 100k, rent for 160k minimum.

    Hi Folks

    My maths isn’t to strong, so forgive my dopey or obvious question.

    I understand the 11 sec sol gives you a 10.4% yield, what is the 1.6 showing us? I assume it is the minimum rent to remain cf+[:I]

    Cheers

    Read, learn, grow but most of all do it.

    ???

    Pretend I am a two year old. A very smart two year old…

    Can someone please explain this theory a little more and chuck in a few calculations to show an example.

    Cheers
    Steph.

    Scremin,

    Lets suppose your purchase price(or current valuation if owned for a while) is $100k

    and lets suppose the rent is $120 per week

    Your GROSS income is 52 weeks X $120….$6240

    To work out GROSS yield, divide gross income by the purchase price, and multiply by 100

    i.e. (6,240/100,000)*100 = 6.24%

    Of course we must deduct vacancies and expenses etc in order to get the NETT yield.

    Hope that helps

    Wayne

    Thanks Wayne, sort of makes it a little clearer.

    Anyone else with an explanation?
