For investors considering Silverwater (2128), gross yield is the starting point, but it is the net yield after outgoings (council rates, strata levies, property management, maintenance) that determines actual cash-flow position. The figures shown are gross. As a rule of thumb, subtract 1.5 to 2.5 percentage points to arrive at a net yield estimate, depending on property type and strata status.

The rental data for Silverwater 2128 is a lagged indicator. It reflects leases that settled over the past 12 months, not necessarily what a property would achieve today. In a rising market, current achievable rents may be higher than the displayed median; in a softening market, the reverse. Talk to a local property manager for a current-market appraisal if you are making a yield-based investment decision.
