The typical gross rental yield in Montevideo - the return earned on the purchase price of a rental property, before taxation, vacancy costs, and other costs, - is moderate to good, at around 4.5% to 6.5%. Our research suggests that the typical yield has fallen over the past year. Yields are better on smaller houses and apartments, as is typical in most countries. Bear in mind that these yields are gross, i.e., before costs and taxes, and so realistically net rental returns would normally be a couple of percentage points lower.
Gross rental yields are an important consideration even for those who do not intend to become landlords, because a high rental yield indicates that the property market is reasonably priced.
