Investment in Yield Properties

One of the most crucial mistakes when examining the investment in yield properties is looking through the prism of return. Focusing only on the return (the yield) from a property, which is represented by the rent it brings in, can be very misleading. It is important to understand that high rent alone cannot determine the worthiness of the investment, as low rent alone is no indication of the opposite.

The analysis of a yield property requires a thorough examination of the property and the area it is located in. Factors such as price of land, age of the property, its enhancement potential and its future value must be taken into account together with facts on the area: accessibility, future development plans, forecasted construction and more.

To these we must add information on the mix of tenants occupying the building: Is there a dependency on one or few very large tenants; what do the leases look like- are they short or long term, what collateral were tenants required to provide, were tenants offered a first right of refusal to buy the property once it is placed on the market for sale?
