Rental yields in the Cayman 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 Savannah / Lower Valley at 10.7%. It is not a return: it takes no account of costs, voids, tax or what the place actually sells for.
