As the NZ property market recovers, rental yield is everywhere. Developers are leading with it. Real estate agents are selling on it. And investors who just lived through high interest rates are obsessed with it.

This episode explains what yield actually tells you — and what it doesn't.

In this episode:

• Gross yield vs net yield NZ: why the number being advertised and the number you actually live with are almost never the same
• Why high gross yield on an NZ investment property is often a signal of low capital growth — and the two main reasons that's almost always true
• The specialist property trap: student accommodation, inner-city apartments, room-by-room rentals — why an investor-only buyer pool kills your long-term growth
• The rural yield trap: why that cheap standalone home with a 7% gross yield in a small NZ town is cheap for a reason
• The real numbers compared: high-yield rural property vs high-yield inner-city apartment vs high-growth two-bedroom townhouse — what the net yield actually looks like after costs

The gross yield is the number advertised. The net yield is the number you live with. Here's how to find it.
