For investors considering Springwood (2777), gross yield is the starting point, but it is the net yield after outgoings (council rates, strata levies, property management, maintenance) that determines actual cash-flow position. The figures shown are gross. As a rule of thumb, subtract 1.5 to 2.5 percentage points to arrive at a net yield estimate, depending on property type and strata status.

Rental yield in Sydney's established suburbs tends to run below the broader market because capital growth expectations are already priced into sale prices. If Springwood shows a gross yield meaningfully above 4%, it is worth checking whether that reflects genuine demand or a subdued sale price (which can itself be a signal of weaker capital growth prospects). Strong yield and strong capital growth in the same suburb is uncommon but does occur in transition areas.
