How this is calculated
- 1Collected rent = rent × (1 − vacancy %).
- 2Operating expenses = property tax ÷ 12 + insurance ÷ 12 + HOA + other + management % of collected rent + maintenance % of rent.
- 3NOI = collected rent − operating expenses. DSCR = NOI ÷ monthly principal and interest.
- 4Max loan by DSCR: the highest payment the NOI covers is NOI ÷ minimum DSCR; the loan that payment repays over the term at the rate is the limit. Max loan by LTV = price × max LTV %. The max loan is the smaller of the two.
- 5Rent ÷ PITIA = gross rent ÷ (P&I + tax + insurance + HOA), the simpler ratio many lenders quote.
Lenders differ: some use gross rent ÷ PITIA, some NOI ÷ debt service, and most add credit-score, reserve and minimum-loan rules. Interest-only loans and prepayment penalties aren't modeled.
