Rental yields in the British Virgin Islands
Gross yield is a year of the median local rent over the median local asking price. It is a rough guide to how the two markets sit relative to each other, and today the widest gap is in Tortola at 11.1%. It is not a return: it takes no account of costs, voids, tax or what the place actually sells for.

What things cost
Which bedroom costs the most in the British Virgin Islands?
Going from 4 bedrooms to 5 adds $1,500,000 to the median asking price — more than any other step on the ladder.
What would make this wrong: A 5-bed house is not a 4-bed house with a room added — it is usually a bigger plot in a different place. This is the price of a different kind of home, not the price of a bedroom.

What would make this wrong: It counts adverts, not sales. An agency that lists everything it is asked to and one that sells everything it lists look identical here.
