Not only will you understand what rental yield is and how it's calculated, but we'll also dive into why they generally range between 2% and 5% in Australia.
We'll be exploring the two main factors that influence rental yields: the size and condition of the property and its location.

We'll be discussing the importance of understanding the proportion of land versus building value, why a high rental yield may indicate low capital growth, and how to spot if a property is undervalued.
