Use the same calculation for both units
Compare purchase price plus buying and furnishing costs against rent after vacancy, service charges, management, maintenance, insurance, and other recurring expenses. A higher advertised rent does not automatically mean a better return.

Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
Do studios always have a higher rental yield?
No. Yield depends on the actual price, achieved rent, occupancy, and annual costs in the specific building.
Are one-bedroom apartments easier to resell?
They may attract a broader audience in some locations, but resale liquidity depends on price, supply, building quality, and buyer demand.
How should I compare two units?
Use identical assumptions, calculate net rather than gross return, and evaluate the hold and resale strategy alongside the annual income.
