Gross rental yields in Taiwan are very low, at an average of 2.84%. The highest yielding apartment size is a 75 square metre (sq. m.) apartment, which yields no less than 3.56%.
Apartments in Taipei sell for around US$4,700 per sq. m, with a 120-sq. m unit selling for US$470,000. Such an apartment could be expected to rent for around US$1,000/month.
At these rates of return, it is truly puzzling that anyone is willing to own residential real estate in Taipei. The obvious answer if you have the great pleasure of living in the now-charming city of Taipei, is to own somewhere else (like Bangkok) and to lease your unit in Taipei. Arbitraging the markets is good for your purse - and arguably good for the economy, as it contributes to more reasonable pricing.
