Analyze your investment property cash flow
Formula:
DSCR = Gross Monthly Rent ÷ Monthly PITIA
PITIA = Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance + HOA
What It Means:
Shows how many times rental income covers your total monthly housing payment.
≥ 1.25:
Excellent - Most lenders prefer this ratio for investment properties.
1.0 - 1.25:
Acceptable - May qualify for some loans, but with limitations.
< 1.0:
Poor - Negative cash flow. Financing may not be available.
Note for 4 Units or Less:
This calculator uses gross monthly rent without deductions for vacancy, property management, or reserves as per standard DSCR lending guidelines for residential properties.
