Rental yield by city
Listings almost always calculate yield like this: 12 months of rent divided by the price. That figure leaves out the vacant months between tenants, the agent fee per new tenant, repairs, insurance and taxes. Take an apartment in Georgia priced at $60,000 that rents for $450 a month. By the advertised formula, that is 9% a year. After expenses, vacancy and taxes, the Levelvale calculator shows 6.3% a year. Here we break down real listings in Batumi and work out what you actually keep with a long-term lease and with a management company, and what changes if you live in the apartment yourself for part of the year. Every figure is calculated with our calculator and comes with the calculation date and sources. Below each article is a calculator loaded with the example's numbers: change the price and rent to your own, and the answer updates instantly.
