How is this calculated?

Gross yield = annual cold rent ÷ total acquisition cost. Net deducts vacancy, maintenance, and management — pre-tax.

Brutto = Jahreskaltmiete ÷ Gesamterwerbskosten × 100

Netto  = (Jahreskaltmiete
         − Instandhaltung
         − Leerstand
         − Verwaltung) ÷ Gesamterwerbskosten × 100

Gesamterwerbskosten = Kaufpreis × (1 + Nebenkosten ≈ 10 %)

Income tax on rental income is not modelled here (depends on personal tax bracket and depreciation schedule).
