How Gross Rent Multiplier Works

Formula

GRM = Purchase Price ÷ Gross Annual Rent
Rental Yield = (Annual Rent ÷ Purchase Price) × 100
Monthly Ratio = (Monthly Rent ÷ Purchase Price) × 100

Key Terms

Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM)
A ratio used to evaluate rental property investments by comparing price to rental income
Gross Annual Rent
Total rental income before expenses (vacancy, maintenance, etc.)
Rental Yield
Annual rental income as a percentage of property value

Usage Tips

  • Lower GRM values generally indicate better investment opportunities
  • Compare GRM with similar properties in the same area
  • Consider market conditions and property appreciation potential
  • Factor in vacancy rates and operating expenses for complete analysis

Example

Scenario: $200,000 property, $24,000 annual rent

GRM: $200,000 ÷ $24,000 = 8.33

Interpretation: It would take 8.33 years of gross rent to equal the purchase price
