Rental investing fundamentals
Rental yield is a screening metric, not a promise of return. Start with realistic rent, then add property taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy, management, and financing. The result becomes more useful when you test a range instead of one optimistic assumption.
Read the rental yield vs. cap rate guide, the cash-flow walkthrough, and the property-tax guide to build a more conservative estimate.
