G’day Guys
The formula which was shown in steves book I have a question. What is the best way to work out the rent if not provided. Thanks[blink]Bigboof
hmmm… wouldn’t you know how to work it out if you had read the book, boof?
The way I work it out- and it’s close enough for me… is to think of the purchase price (say 50k) and then double it to work out the rent ($100 per week)
The 1 second solution is:
50k property = $100 weekly rent
100k = $200 weekly rent
$150k = $300 weekly rent etc.Someone can give you the more accurate formula, but the above lets you assess immediately if it’s going to be around a 10% yield.

Hey Kay,
1 sec solution – lol [happy]
I think Bigboof’s question is a little different… it’s how to you figure out the rent base if it is not currently rented.
Anyway, I suggest look at what similar properties go for in the local paper.
In particular, watch out for agent’s assessments based on ‘likely rent’, as these, in my experience, have a habit of being on the generous side of the ledger.
Another idea is to find out what the property previously rented for (if applicable) and then base it on that.
