Rent Vs. Buy Extravaganza!!!

Ok I haven't done this in a while so here's a whole smattering of Rent Vs. Buys!

First up. Woodbridge Island Milnerton. a 3 bedroomed townhouse rents for R4800 and sells for R1 570 000.

700000-4180-7
900000-2116-3
1100000-510
130000020132
150000040773


3% return! You'll be rich!

Next up 3 'investment opportunities' on the Atlantic seaboard. Here's an apartment that rents for R4500 (max) and is on the market for R850 000. What's the return like?

200000-2209-13
300000-1177-5
400000-1450
5000008872
60000019204
70000029525
80000039846

6%? Might as well put it in a fixed deposit and avoid the hassle of running after tenants.


Another apartment this time renting for R4000 a month till the end of January and on the market for R1 100 000. What kind of return can you expect?

300000-4258-17
500000-2193-5
700000-1290
90000019363
110000040004


Where do I sign up?!? And finally an apartment described as perfect for the world cup that is currently rents for R3200 but you can buy it for R625 000.

100000-2219-27
200000-1187-7
300000-155-1
4000008783
50000019105
60000029426


Again at 6% probably our best bet, but with interest rates on the way up putting you R625 000 in a high yield fixed deposit ain't the stupidest move either.
