📈 Rental yield is one of the most misunderstood parts of property investing.

 Most Aussies focus only on capital growth, but yield can make or break your cash flow — especially in a high-rate environment. 

 In this episode of The Mortgage Chat, I break down:

🔥 Gross yield vs net yield

 🔥 How much yield you actually need in 2025

 🔥 What high-yield properties REALLY look like

 🔥 How yield helps balance a negatively geared portfolio

 🔥 Why some investors get stuck because they ignore rental income

 If you’re trying to build a strong, sustainable property portfolio, understanding yield is non-negotiable. I’ll walk you through the numbers in a simple, no-BS way so you can make smarter decisions and boost your cash flow.
