Most rental yield calculators ask for two numbers: property price and monthly rent. That gives you gross yield — a number that overstates your actual return by 30-45%.
The National Apartment Association reports that operating expenses consume 35-45% of gross rent on US rental properties. Skipping those expenses in your calculation means making investment decisions on inflated numbers.
Common calculation mistakes:
- Skipping CapEx reserves — a roof replacement at $12,000 wipes out 1.5 years of income
- Using national tax averages — property tax varies from 0.3% (Hawaii) to 2.2% (New Jersey)
- Ignoring insurance costs — Florida premiums run 3x Ohio premiums per the NAIC
- Forgetting vacancy — the US Census Bureau reports 6.6% national vacancy, meaning 3-4 weeks of lost rent per year
