Investment methodology
Bratislava rental yields: calculate the property, not a city average.
Yield is only useful when income assumptions, operating costs and the full capital committed to the property are treated consistently.
In brief
A city-wide yield number hides differences in purchase price, parking, furnishing, condition, rental model and operating costs. We calculate each property on its own verified assumptions.
01
Gross rental yield
Annual gross rental income divided by the chosen capital base. It is a screening measure, not the final investment result.
02
Net rental yield
Income after relevant operating costs divided by total invested capital. The cost assumptions must match the rental strategy and property.
03
Total invested capital
The denominator should account for the purchase and the capital needed to make the property operational, including relevant parking, furnishing, preparation and acquisition costs.
04
Rental income assumptions
Quoted rent is not automatically achieved income. The assumption must reflect the specific property, its condition, operating model and realistic periods without income.
05
Why consistency matters
Two apartments can only be compared when income, costs and capital are calculated on the same basis. Expected appreciation should not be used to repair weak current operating economics.
06
Test the assumptions, not only the headline result
A useful calculation shows how the result changes when rent, periods without income, operating costs or preparation capital differ from the base case. It supports a decision; it does not forecast the market.
