Rental yield
Weigh the investment case, not just the price
Estimate gross rental yield with rent estimates alongside price, so you can focus on the numbers that matter to investors.
Rental yield
Price alone doesn't tell you if it's a good investment
For investors, the return matters as much as the purchase price. But rent estimates and yield are rarely presented next to the asking price.
Calculating yield by hand across a shortlist is tedious and error-prone.
See yield in context
Find Best House pairs an indicative rent estimate with the property price to surface an estimated gross rental yield, so you can compare opportunities quickly.

Frequently asked questions
How is gross rental yield estimated?
Gross yield is estimated from an indicative annual rent divided by the property price. It doesn't account for costs like management, maintenance, vacancy or rates.
Is this financial advice?
No. Yield estimates are indicative and for research only. Speak to a licensed professional before making an investment decision.
How do I get a rent estimate for a property?
Search the property's address on Find Best House and open its profile — an indicative weekly rent estimate is shown alongside the price and yield. Estimates are modelled from comparable rentals in the area, so treat them as a starting point and cross-check against current rental listings nearby.
What is a good rental yield in Australia?
It depends on the market and property type. Gross yields for houses in capital cities often sit in the 2.5–4% range, while units and regional properties can yield more. A lower yield can still make sense if capital growth prospects are strong — compare yield across your shortlist rather than against a single benchmark.
What's the difference between gross and net rental yield?
Gross yield is annual rent divided by the purchase price. Net yield subtracts ongoing costs such as property management, insurance, maintenance, council rates and vacancy periods, so it's always lower. Find Best House shows an indicative gross yield; build your own net figure once you know the property's actual costs.
