As a HMO has huge running costs, and higher turnover of residents, the "gross" yield is not really very useful when calculating the net profit from a property. For example, I have some properties that produce more than a 100% gross yield (i.e. the rental income from the rooms is more than double the rent/mortgage paid out each month), but to establish the actual net profit you need to factor in the costs, e.g. utilities, council tax, furnishings, repairs, damage, wear and tear, rent arrears, void periods, HMO licence, letting/advertising costs, legal costs, maintenance, time spent visiting the property and doing admin, etc, etc. When all this is taken into account, the 100%+ gross yield drops to perhaps 20-30% net yield.
Although I operate in a different sector of the market, so my costs may be considerably higher than the costs on this property, nevertheless, I don't think a 12% gross yield would generate a positive net yield. Therefore, any potential investor should be aware of these costs and should perhaps base their investment on the potential increase in capital value of the property rather than the gross yield. Gross yield does not = net profit.
Hi Robert, absolutely right yields need to be higher for HMOs. Just a quick point though gross yields relate to the capital value of your property not the size of your mortgage. What you need is an up to date valuation of a property. The gross aspect just refers that you using a figure for the rent before any of the deductions you refer to as expenses incurred by the rental business.
