I amortiized my renovation cost of 40k over 4 years. The apartment is freehold so the rental yield is lower. The numbers can fluctuate, i am more interested in showing the method . How i evaluate rental yield. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To achieve this yield, if I'm not wrong, you probably bought at least 7-10 or more years ago? Rental is also typically high when the unit is new and then decreases with age before flattening out after 5+(?) years. This is something most people miss out in their projections. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enye Hypersonic October 25, 2020 Share October 25, 2020 2 hours ago, Wind30 said: That number is meaningless as it just depend on what is the Downpayment. I look at the downpayment as how much my yield as after getting net income, ignoring mortgage principle payments. basically, if my down is 500k for 1.8 million property. I work out my rental income minus expenses and divide that by 500k to calculate my yield. As theoretically those 500k also can deliver yield by putting them in other places. for that 1.8 mil property, rental is 63k per year. Interest payments at 1%, gives 13k a year. 5.2k for maintenance. 5k for commission and vacant time. 10k a year for renovation and repair. 33k in total. Income is 30k per year. Yield over 500k is 6%. Which is pretty high, much higher than bank interest rates. but that numbers can change a lot, especially the 13k interest rate. If it was 3% instead, the income will be just 4K, giving you an yield of 0.8%... btw boss... since your maths so good, you could build a proper dcf model to calculate return and npv rather than back of envelope calculations like this will add to your street cred in mcf 😬😅 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The added complexity of dcf does not really buy me much especially as a layman I can't make accurate predictions many years down the road. My calculations is similar, like dcf for 1 year 🙂 If you look at dcf equation, if the expected rate of return is small, it really does not matter much. I think people needs to get the right expectations what a 2nd property buys you... For me, I don't really expect the property price to go up or down. It is almost impossible to tell what will happen in the future. What I do is just do my due sums to make sure I can get the right return in the near future... There are also other benefits for investing in property beyond the numbers game as it is tangible. Having said that, I think most people know I am not really a bull in property, and I don't own like multiple properties. It is just a place to park some money and hedge against inflation and low interest rates... Edited October 25, 2020 by Wind30 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very thick skin, even if it is a bad buy, no worries. Can criticize I think the returns is actually not very good. if you know how to invest and get like 4% returns, no way you should buy a property I think. I am more like the kind of person who keeps money in the bank. It is more like a long term investment to put in spare cash. I am not even touching my CPF for this as if you need to use CPF, I am not sure if it will beat the 2.5% OA returns. I have since paid back CPF whatever we took initially a few years ago to buy this new property. We thought quite long before commiting to this investment property as there are heavy up front cost involved too because of ABSD. Plus owning a condo right at dolby ghaut also has lifesyle benefits if you visit Orchad Road. you live only once and there are far worse things to buy than property 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one knows how to invest in other asset classes, property is one of the worst yields Property returns seem huge becos they are always on a big leveraged basis and over many years. You can ride the wave as long as you dont kena chop and cant climb back. moreover many families are dual income Base on a leverage basis similar to that of property, from the top of my head, i think i will pull 12-13%pa returns. I am sole bread winner so must be even more prudent . Edited October 25, 2020 by Throttle2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leverage yield at 6%pa for a 3x gearing is not that high. but I do understand the attractiveness given that the underlying is an asset that many are comfortable with and feels “safe” but it’s the 手尾 of a property investment that irks me. the tax, rental, renewable and tenants.... to say a few... I guess there are definitely value buys around the island and that would be something maybe 5-10 years down the road, for me, but not necessarily to invest but to stay. i do hope for the chance to have a bigger unit than my current 1200sqf home. bobian I like to have a bit more space.
