How we test a home

Every home we list gets the same test.

Rent
A 12-month unfurnished lease, based on two independent rent estimates. Never a seasonal or short-term rent.
Property tax
Tax is estimated at the buyer's reassessed value. Where the listing's own tax bill is higher, we use the bill.
Insurance
An estimate from local rates for a home this size. It is not in a flood zone.
HOA
Not listed; we assume none.
Loan
7.25% interest over 30 years, at 20, 25 and 30% down.
Nets positive
When its rent covers the whole monthly payment: loan, tax, insurance and HOA (PITIA). We use gross rent, as a DSCR lender does, with nothing set aside for vacancy, repairs, capex or management.
