Yield Info

Average rental yields in South Africa range from 5% to 10% depending on location. Cape Town and Johannesburg suburbs typically offer 6-8% gross.

Remember that rental income is taxed at your marginal rate. Your after-tax yield will be lower.

Levies and rates can be significant costs. Sectional title properties typically have higher levies than freehold homes.
