Rental yield in %=
(Net Annual Rent Collected / Total Cost of Property) x 100 %
(Net Annual Rent Collected = Total Rent Collected - maintainence cost, property tax, property agent cost, income tax, vacant cost etc)
( Total Cost of Property = Price of Property + Stamp Duty + Legal fees + Renovation + furnishing)
Example (assuming no mortgage):
If you bought a property for $600,000 (inclusive of all costs), you rent it for $2000/month and your monthly maintainence is $200, agent fee is 1 month's rent, amortised furnishing cost is $500/year (i.e. you spend $5k on furnishing and expect it to last for 10 Years so amortised cost = $5000/10 years), property tax (10% of annual value) is $2400, and assuming other costs to be negligible, we have:
Net Annual Rent Collected in $ = $2000x12 - ($200x12 + $2000 + $500 +$2400) = $16,700
Rental Yield = ($16,700/$600,000) x 100 = 2.78% ~ 3%
If the mortgage rate is 3%, then rental yield will just be about enough to pay for your mortgage interest (only).

The blogger here has been affectionately named by close allies as "Smart Buyer" but really, he's not smart. Smart Buyer just believes that being prudent is smart. That's the essence of the message of this blog and Smart Buyer hopes it'll benefit other property buyers.
