🏠 Rental Yield Calculator Pro (USA)
Professional Investment Property Return Calculator for Real Estate Investors
What is Rental Yield?
The Rental Yield Calculator Pro (USA) is a professional-grade tool designed for American real estate investors, property managers, and home buyers evaluating investment properties. Rental yield measures the annual return on investment from rental income as a percentage of property value, helping you make informed investment decisions.
Understanding rental yield is crucial for comparing investment opportunities across different markets. A property with a higher yield generates more income relative to its cost. However, yield varies significantly across the USA - Midwestern states often offer yields of 8-12%, while coastal markets like California and New York typically see 3-5% due to higher property prices.
This calculator helps you analyze both gross yield (total rent ÷ property value) and net yield (after expenses). It also calculates cap rate for cash buyers, ROI for financed purchases, and monthly cash flow projections. Whether you're a first-time investor or managing a portfolio, these metrics are essential for smart real estate decisions.
