Gross yield
Start With the US Market Hub
The US hub links to state pages ranked by gross yield, with annual revenue, and occupancy data for every contained market.
This is a market-selection index, not a replacement for property-level underwriting. Use gross yield to compare US markets where property-value metadata exists, and use annual revenue to compare non-US country pages where gross yield is not yet available. Then review local rules, seasonality, acquisition cost, financing, taxes, insurance, and operating expenses for the specific property.
