Interested to understand what measures people use to assess their investment decisions both at point of purchase and in retrospect?
Many thanks

Hi Richard
This is a massive open question and I will start you off with our Landlords Calculator >> https://www.property118.com/calculating-rental-yields-and-returns/

Also I find
Commercial trust.co.uk/btl/calculators/rental-yield-calculators/
To be quite useful as it gives you the option to measure :
Gross Yield
Net Yield
Real Yield
True Rate Of Return

At point of purchase I use gross yield (likely annual rental income over (purchase costs + estimated refurb cost)) and am looking for approx 8%. I don’t include capital appreciation. Subsequently I am looking for 6% nett of letting agents fees, insurance, allowance for maintenance etc. I don’t take possible voids into consideration.
