Assessing the rental yield is a crucial step to consider when investing in a condo. The rental yield refers to the annual rental income in comparison to the property’s purchase price. In Singapore, the rental yields for condos can greatly vary depending on factors such as location, property condition, and market demand. Typically, areas with a high rental demand, such as those near business districts or educational institutions, offer a more favorable rental yield. To gain a better understanding of the rental potential of a specific condo, conducting thorough market research and seeking advice from real estate agents can provide valuable insights. Additionally, exploring Singapore Projects can also aid in assessing the rental yield.
