Rental property economics
Connect monthly cash flow and DSCR to the actual financing assumptions
Use realistic rent and expense assumptions. A lender's DSCR calculation may differ, so this is a property-screening view, not a qualification result.
Different lenders calculate rent, expenses, qualifying DSCR, reserves, prepayment terms, and property eligibility differently. Verify the program before relying on the ratio.

Questions to ask about the estimate
Can I use this calculator number as a final approval?
No. Use it as a planning estimate, then verify taxes, insurance, credits, income, assets, and program rules before relying on it.
What should I send after using the calculator?
Send the property price or address, down payment or equity, estimated taxes and insurance, credit concern, and timeline.
Why can the real payment differ from the estimate?
Taxes, insurance, HOA dues, mortgage insurance, credits, lock timing, and underwriting conditions can all change the final number.
