Understanding Your Results

What Each Number Actually Means

Every metric in this calculator maps directly to how DSCR lenders evaluate your deal. Here's what to pay attention to.

  • Bank Icon

    DSCR Ratio

    Rent ÷ PITIA. This is the number the lender cares about most. Above 1.25 gets you the best rates. FlexPoint lends as low as 0.75 — and offers a no-ratio option with no minimum threshold at all.

  • Clock Icon

    PITIA Payment

    Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, and HOA — the full monthly obligation the lender uses in the DSCR formula. P&I alone understates your real cost; PITIA is the honest number.

  • Grid Icon

    Cash-on-Cash Return

    Annual net cash flow ÷ total cash invested (down payment + closing costs). This is the real return on your actual dollars. A strong deal typically delivers 6–10%+ CoC in most markets.

  • Link Icon

    Max Loan by DSCR Target

    Works backward from your income. Given this rent and these expenses, what's the largest loan the property can support at a 1.0, 1.10, or 1.25 DSCR? Useful for sizing your offer before you know the price.

  • Clipboard Icon

    STR vs. LTR Mode

    STR income is calculated from nightly rate × occupancy × days in month, minus platform fees. Lenders typically use a market rent schedule or documented STR income — both modes show you what the deal produces.

  • Shield Check Icon

    CapEx Reserve

    Money set aside monthly for future repairs, appliances, roof, HVAC — the costs every landlord eventually faces. Skipping this in your analysis makes the deal look better than it is. Smart investors always model it in.
