Hi

Could anyone give an indication of cost for a simple Valuation of a 2 Bed apartment. Also this apartment makes approx 220k per month via Airbnb This would be included in the valuation.

Ignore Airbnb figures. I have a crude way of valuing residential property.

Monthly rent (not airbnb) = R

Value of apartment = R * 200

Assuming R is net of all costs (net rent) but BEFORE depreciation, taxes, etc then it's a 6% yield which seems the norm.

Meanwhile the 19yr T-Bond is paying 13% after taxes though there's no inflation adjustment but the "excess" 7% can be reinvested.

Have you factored the capital gains on the property in the 6% calculation?

I know English came by ship but surely you can read "net rent" up there. Laughing out loudly

Since when does rent include capital gains?

Recently sold a flat and this math worked out PERFECTLY.
Sale price was 200 times the monthly rent I was getting. (Though the most recent rent factored in a pandemic discount)

Sold because am not cut out to be a landlord. Bought shares instead.
Dividend on the said shares are 2.5 times the rent I was getting on the flat. All without the hustles involved with being a landlord.
