Normally you will make more revenue the bigger your property is and the more central your property is to high footfall locations.
For example a 4 bed house in York 10 mins walk away from the city centre could produce as much as £50,000 per annum which is huge!
But if you have a 1 bed flat in Bradford, then you will struggle to make £15,000 per annum on that property.
But revenue does not always mean money in your pocket, the costs on running a 4 bed house will be much greater then operating a 1 bedroom flat so you do not need to make as much money, this is where using free tools like what i have below comes in useful or you can get in touch with a Holiday Let Management company who can work with you on if your property is worth it.
