Yields and Profit Strategies for Real Estate Investors

What's better: yields or holidays? It seems so simple written like this, but most overseas property buyers would choose the latter, probably because it's much easier to see how you could enjoy a holiday than an excel spreadsheet. The truth is holiday homes are expensive assets that spend your money, but commercial property generates profits, maintains the value of your capital and finances your future — a much better long term solution, right?

The first thing most (first-time) investors demand is high-yield property, but data shows that lower yields are actually the key to better profits at the end of the day. 

In this article, Tranio’s managing partner and real estate investment expert George Kachmazov explains how property with high yields actually gains less value overall in comparison to commercial property with low risks.  

"Yields depend directly on the balance between location, tenant reliability and liquidity. Unfortunately, most investors want high yields without the risk, but it doesn't work that way. You can't buy a property with a "risk level" of 3% and expect it to earn 7% yields per annum."
