In this analysis, we’re juxtaposing the Return on Investment (ROI) presented by brokers against the actual ROI.
Brokers gauge the annual rent percentage (after deducting expenses) relative to the initial investment, giving ROI’s up to 20%.
This evaluation spans the entire investment period, factoring in yearly rent increments.
We’re exploring scenarios for both freehold and leasehold properties. For freehold cases, the property’s appreciation is factored in, while leasehold scenarios consider the investment’s worth as zero at the conclusion.
