Two properties can cost the exact same amount up front and lead to completely different outcomes for your portfolio.
A standard three-bedroom home at $750k might return $700 a week, leaving you with a standard 3–5% gross yield. Over time, that holding cost can drag on your cash flow and erode your borrowing capacity, leaving you stuck at asset number one.
At the same purchase price, a purpose-built co-living asset generates between $1,100 and $1,600 a week. That shifts the gross yield to 6–9%, preserving your borrowing capacity and generating the cash flow needed to fund your next move.
Your purchase price gets you into the market, but your yield determines how quickly you scale.
