Rental yield is one of the important metrics which you can use to assess if the property is worth investing. A property with a good rental yield not only helps you generate good cash flow; it also plays a part in capital appreciation.
Here’s the rental yield of the various districts for the year of 2018, 2019 and 2020 (still developing) for 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom private condominium, with building age between 0 to 5 years old. By the way, if you are unfamiliar with the district and planning zones, you may refer to this guide ‘Singapore Districts & Regions’.
