Net yield
–

Gross yield = annual net cold rent ÷ purchase price. Net yield = (rent − non-recoverable costs) ÷ (price + purchase costs). Purchase price factor = price ÷ annual rent. Equity return subtracts loan interest on (total cost − equity). Taxes, depreciation, vacancy and rent increases are not included.
