Rental Property or Index Fund? Compare Like-for-Like Returns

Different assets require a common currency, period and cost basis before their returns can be compared. Include vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes and initial outlay; separate assumptions from income actually collected. Use the same currency and period when comparing options; a favourable scenario is not a guaranteed return.

What to compare before deciding

Build a monthly cash-flow table covering acquisition, closing costs, furnishing, collected income, vacancy and operations. Retain support for every input and calculate occupancy and exit scenarios separately. Do not mix gross yield, net yield and internal rate of return.
