Residential property prices are around US$1,100 to US$1,450 per sq. m.

A 220 sq. m. house with a big lot might cost about US$250,000. The rent for the same house might be around US$3,000 per month, thus producing a rental yield of 14.4%.

Yields on smaller properties range between 8% and 13%.

Just got back from a trip to Guam in February 2008. I did not see yields anywhere near 12%. 3-6% was more typical and that is before considering that it can typically take 3 months to fill vacancies on the north side of the island, that most, if not all, of the managers want 10% of rent plus all of the first months rent and a minimum monthly fee during vacancy periods, and that financing is more difficult and expensive because many complexes do not have typhoon insurance.
