What it really rents for
For the investor buyer: published comparable rents near the station, a worked net-yield calculation after every cost, and why the “guaranteed 6–7%” schemes are unsustainable.
Comparable rents
1-Bedroom units within 400 m of MRT Phra Ram 9, 30–36 m², 2024–25 lettings: ฿15,000 – ฿18,000 / month (median ฿16,000). Source: a named aggregator’s transacted-lease data, retrieved 31 August 2026.
Worked net yield
Unit 05-11, ฿4,780,000, let at ฿16,000/month. Gross ฿192,000/yr − common fee ฿1,794 × 12 (฿21,528) − house-and-land tax at 12.5% of assessed annual rental value (≈ ฿15,000) − 1 month vacancy (฿16,000) − a letting agent’s ½ month (฿8,000) = net ≈ ฿131,500/yr → net yield ≈ 2.75% on price, or ≈ 3.5% at the contract price before floor premiums.
Why not a “guaranteed 7%”
Node does not run a rental-guarantee scheme. The published-yield schemes competitors run in this corridor pay the gap out of the sale price for the first 2–3 years — the unit is priced ~10–15% higher to fund it — and the payments stop when the guarantee period ends.
If you are buying to let, expect a net yield near 3%, and capital growth that depends on the line and the corridor — not on this building. If a project promises you 7%, ask who is paying it and for how long.
