  • What Is Gross Yield (and Why You Shouldn’t Stop There)
    Sep 28 2025

    Gross yield is one of the most commonly used terms in property investing. It is extremely popular among real estate agents. It's prominently displayed in property listings. But is it telling you the entire story?

    In this episode of the Genius Academy Podcast, Waqas Ali explains what gross rental yield is, how to calculate it, and why it's such an effective starting point for deal analysis. More importantly, he explains where gross yield falls short—and how to avoid being duped by headline figures.

    You’ll learn:

    • The basic formula for gross yield and when to apply it.
    • Why a high gross yield does not always result in a high profit.
    • A true story about an investor who nearly lost their money.
    • What to do after calculating gross yield to obtain a complete picture.

    This is the episode that every new property investor should hear before making their first deal.
