Investment Yield

by | Feb 5, 2026

In real estate, Investment Yield refers to the total return earned from an investment property, including both ongoing income and any gain realized upon resale. It reflects the overall profitability of the investment over a specific period of time.

Investment yield is typically expressed as a percentage of the total amount invested and takes into account rental income, operating results, and appreciation. This measure helps investors compare the performance of different real estate investments and assess whether an investment meets their return objectives.
