The revenue model for an average apartment depends highly on the above factors. But the revenue from a USD 100,000 apartment can be in the range of USD 10 Cheap Andrea Poli Jersey ,000-USD 15,000. That is a “gross” return of 12-15% per annum. Keep in mind that better service apartment can make returns of upto 20% gross per annum.
Now the important part – getting to the net return. The major operating costs are employee and utility cost (electricity, property taxes, maintenance). These can safely be assumed to be 5-7% (being conservative). Hence the net returns will not exceed 8% per annum after costs. But given that current rental yields are only 2% after cost Cheap Andrea Conti Jersey , that’s a healthy 6%!
The big variable in whether you earn 10% gross or 20% plus is the marketing & sales, which can be a fairly tricky affair. Marketing costs are going up every year and the only way that one ensure a healthy rental yield is by having an effective marketing team – which is why going with centralized providers makes a lot of sense. There are a few professional asset management firms that can help maximize the returns from your investment. It substantially reduces the overheads of managing other complex aspects of the business like guest relations & facility management.?
