Real Estate Yield: Maximizing your Investments
Introduction
Real Estate Yield is a fundamental concept for those interested in investing in real estate. Understanding how it works and how to maximize it can make the difference for a successful project.
What is Real Estate Yield?
Real estate Yield, also known as real estate return on investment, is the measure of profitability obtained from a real estate property. It is calculated using a formula that takes into account the income generated by the property in relation to its initial cost.
How is the real estate yield calculated?
To calculate the real estate yield, the annual net income of the property (after expenses such as taxes, maintenance and insurance) is divided by the total cost of the initial investment. The result is expressed as a percentage.
Factors that influence the real estate yield.
The real estate yield can be influenced by several factors beyond the location of the property. For example, the availability and quality of public and private services in the area, such as schools, hospitals, shopping centers and public transportation, can significantly increase the interest in a property and, therefore, its yield potential.
The type of project is also critical. For example, a residential development may have a different performance than an office complex or a shopping center. That is why the potential use studies performed in A-001 take on great relevance as they help to understand the market demand at that specific time, but also to visualize market opportunities that are not being addressed at that time.
Case studies
One of the exemplary projects developed in A-001 is Coliving Tabacalera, where the property, originally intended for offices, was re-evaluated following a study of potential use. A significant growth in demand for housing in the area was identified, due to its privileged location in the center of the city, which guarantees excellent connectivity and a wide range of available services. The comparative study between housing and office spaces revealed an average increase of 18% in the rental price of housing compared to offices, which led the project to focus on housing instead of maintaining its original typology.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What other strategies help determine the percentage yield of a property?
An important part of calculating the real estate yield is understanding the area where the project is located, which is why a potential use study can complement the information needed for the calculation.
- What are some effective strategies to increase real estate yield?
To increase real estate yield, it is crucial to select projects that align with local market demand and also consider future or unmet needs. This involves conducting a thorough market analysis to identify opportunities that can generate stable and consistent revenues. By carefully selecting projects that meet current and future demand, you maximize the return potential of your real estate investment and ensure long-term success.
- What is the importance of real estate yield in project development?
Real estate yield is crucial in the development of real estate projects, as it provides a clear measure of the potential return on investment. It allows developers to assess the financial viability of the project by comparing the expected revenues with the associated costs. This information helps them make informed decisions about project development and prioritize among different investment opportunities, thus maximizing the return on their investment.
