Gross rental yield is annual market rent divided by home value:
(monthly rent × 12) ÷ home value × 100. It's the fastest way to compare
markets before you underwrite a specific property — a 4% ZIP and a 12% ZIP are
different businesses. The price-to-rent ratio is the inverse view
(value ÷ annual rent); under ~15 usually favours buying to rent out,
over ~25 favours renting.
These are gross figures. Net yield lands roughly 30–45% lower once you subtract property tax, insurance, maintenance, vacancy and management — and the highest-yield ZIPs are usually where those costs and vacancy risk are highest. Use this to shortlist markets, then underwrite the individual deal.
