Why Rental Yield Matters

Rental yield measures the annual rental income you receive relative to the property price.
A higher yield means:

• Better cash flow
• Faster ROI
• Stronger buffer against rising interest rates
• More resilience during market fluctuations

It’s one of the most reliable indicators of long-term property performance.

Here’s where smart investors look:

1️⃣ City-Fringe Condos (RCR)

• Strong tenant pool
• Competitive rents
• Lower entry price than CCR
• Typically stable yields between 3–4%

2️⃣ Smaller Units (1–2 Bedrooms)

• High rental demand from young professionals and expats
• Lower upfront cost
• Often higher PSF but stronger rental performance

3️⃣ HDBs in Mature Estates

(For Singaporeans investing in a second property after fulfilling requirements)

• Consistently strong rental demand
• Affordable pricing supports healthier yields

4️⃣ Properties Near Transport Hubs or Key Employment Nodes

• MRT lines, business parks, hospitals, universities
• Higher tenancy turnover = Higher occupancy rates
