How to Calculate Rental Yield Return?
Rental yield is expressed as a percentage of the property’s value. To calculate it, you need two primary figures: your total annual rent and the total purchase price.
The Formula:
However, a “Senior Developer” approach requires looking at the Net Yield. This subtracts expenses like property management fees (usually 10% in Kenya), land rates, and maintenance costs from your income before dividing by the price.
What is a Good Rental Yield?
In the current Kenyan market, a “good” yield varies by location and property type:
- Commercial Properties: Often see higher yields between 8% and 12%.
- Residential Apartments: In Nairobi, these typically range from 5% to 8%.
- Serviced Apartments: Can exceed 10% but come with much higher management costs.
