    How the ROI is calculated

    The formulas

    All-in cost = price + acquisition + furnishing
    Effective rent = annual rent × occupancy
    Net income = effective rent − mgmt − common − maintenance − tax
    Gross yield = annual rent ÷ price
    Net yield = net income ÷ all-in cost
    Payback = all-in cost ÷ net income

    Pattaya benchmarks used

    • Gross yields typically 5–8% (small units highest)
    • Net yields ~1.5–2% below gross
    • Transfer fee 2% of appraised value (often split)
    • All-in acquisition costs ~5–7%
    • Annual property tax often just ฿1,000–5,000

    Pattaya condo ROI — FAQ

    What rental yield can you get on a Pattaya condo?

    Typically 5–8% gross, with small studios and one-beds near the beach at the higher end. Net yields are usually 1.5–2% lower once management, common-area fees, maintenance and vacancy come out.

    What does it cost to buy a condo in Thailand?

    All-in acquisition costs are usually 5–7% of price, including the 2% transfer fee (often split with the seller), legal fees and taxes.

    How is net yield different from gross?

    Gross yield is annual rent ÷ price. Net yield deducts running costs and vacancy, then divides by your all-in cost (price + fees + furnishing) — a more honest figure.

    Do foreigners pay tax on rental income?

    Yes, it's taxable and must be reported. Non-resident owners (under 180 days/year) may have 15% withheld by the tenant. Confirm with a Thai tax professional.
