    Here is some figures on a property I have found

    Interest only investment loan

    5.81% fixed rate for five years

    300K purchase

    30 year term

    $335.19 repayments per week ($17429.88 P/A)

    $390 rental payment per week ($20280 P/A)

    + $2850.12

    Overheads not factored in

    Does this seem like a reasonable investment? How do you calculate the yield?

    Hi DrSupachicken,

    Your yield is calculated by dividing your annual rent by the purchase price and multiplying the result by 100, i.e:

    Yield = (Annual Rent / Purchase Price) x 100
    Yield = ($20,280 / $300,000) x 100
    Yeild = 0.0676 x 100

    Yeild = 6.76%

    Sounds like a good return to me considering the 5.81% interest rate.

    Do you factor in overheads when yu calculate yields? Or is that something you factor into tax?

    is 5.8% the cash rate given by RBA because if it is the bank doesn't lend money at this rate but adds a profit margin to it to come up with lending interest rate. Check with lender before borrowing and also what the fixed interest rate is.
