How much more cash flow Rent-to-Sell earns
Rent-to-Sell gives you an additional 50% extra cash flow on top of your normal market rent, set at 50% of first-year rent. On a property renting at $675 a week, that is $338 a week more: $1,013 a week, against $649 under a standard lease after vacancy. See how the program works on the Rent-to-Sell page.
Weekly income is the headline; cashflow yield is the one to compare across investment properties. It differs from gross and net rental yield, which count rent alone. The gap between the two columns is the contribution plus the vacancy you are no longer carrying. Adjust the vacancy weeks and rent growth to match your own experience of the property. The Rent-to-Sell vs traditional leasing comparison runs the same numbers over the full term. Not sure of your market rent? See our rental appraisal guide.
What the cashflow calculator assumes
- The extra 50% is 50% of the first year's market rent, for the whole term of the lease.
- Standard lease: two weeks' vacancy a year by default, editable.
- Rent growth 4% a year, the program cap, editable; market rent is 4.5% of value a year for houses.
- Finance, tax, management fees and holding costs are excluded on both sides because they depend on your property and loan.
Frequently asked questions
Annual cash collected — rent plus, under Rent-to-Sell, the contribution — less the vacancy allowance, divided by the property value. Finance, tax and holding costs are left out on both sides.
