Rent Vs. Buy: Muizenberg

Muizenberg is a suburb that went through a bit of a decline in the 90's but has been the target for a lot of redevelopment. Which I guess explains why rental returns are now so crap. Property prices have gone up a lot but rents have stayed down. Here's a one bedroomed loft going for R695 000 and renting for R3150.
