Purchase / Rent Returns by Dolby1980
HI, Is there some type of ratio/returns of what rent one could expect, on a property price ? In South Africa, we average 8% per year of a property price as a return. So if I buy at R1,000,000, I'll expect between R6,000-R7,000.00 back on rent ...

There will always be a demand for rentals in the Prime areas of Malta. 8% is not impossible if you know the market but a 5% return is a more relistic target. Read More
