Income after the real costs
Net rental yield = annual rent after vacancy and operating costs ÷ total acquisition cost. Include service charges, repairs, letting fees and furnishing replacement; check financing separately to see cash flow.

How should you compare Penang property investment?
Start with who will live here and why they would keep paying rent. Penang property investment is stronger when the layout serves an identifiable tenant, ownership costs are manageable and the surrounding location has lasting usefulness.
Compare the recommended projects ↓DIRECT ANSWER
Compare net rental yield, tenant demand, competing supply and resale appeal. Employment, healthcare and established amenities are demand context; capital appreciation is not a promised return.
What to look for
Surrounding value over a longer holding period
Bayan Lepas and Batu Kawan have established industrial employment corridors. George Town offers city services and visitor activity. Ask which demand your particular unit can serve, and distinguish operating amenities from proposed development.
An exit that another buyer can understand
Compare usable layout, title, building management, maintenance and future supply. A lower entry price alone does not ensure liquidity or capital appreciation. Stress-test a slower resale and a period without tenants.
