A 50 sq. m. apartment in Sao Paolo can be expected to yield 9.6% per annum. Larger sized units generally have lower yields, from 5.4% to 7.2%. Yields for apartments in the suburbs of Sao Paolo are between 4% and 8%.
Properties in Rio de Jainero are a bit more expensive than in Sao Paolo, but they also fetch higher rents and return higher yields; from 7.5% to 9.6%.
Yields for apartments in other cities such as Fortaleza, Bahia and Brasilia are around 4% to 7%. Smaller units generally have higher yields.
