Coverage rules
  • GPI pre-fills only from MLS GI, a building-total UnitTypes row, or a rent roll covering ≥ 80% of doors.
  • A single sample rent is not averaged across the building.
  • Vacancy floor is max(5%, 100 − present occupancy in remarks).
  • Mgmt 8% at 8+ units, else 10%. Insurance $800/door. R&M $800/door.
  • Utility allowances turn on only when the who-pays grid or remarks say owner-paid.
  • SAFMR push is mix-weighted and hidden when the sample is extrapolated from thin coverage.
  • Commercial = 30% / 7% / 25-yr amort. Conventional = 25% / 7% / 30-yr. Cash = 100% equity, no debt service. CoC = NOI ÷ price.

Jeff’s Investment Take

Market data · October 2026

Working thesis

In-place DSCR 0.51x does not cover default debt — the listing only screens if the price or the rent moves.

+41.7% Voucher Spread™ is the listed path to thicken NOI — only if those rents are collectible on this building.

  • Modeled debt service exceeds NOI at 0.51x. That is the binding constraint, not the badge.
  • In-place rents sit under ZIP SAFMR. Closing that gap (~$12,000/yr GPI) is what would change the DSCR and the gross.
  • Published cap 3.0% sits at or under county sold NOI cap 5.2%.
  • In-place DSCR 0.51x below 1.0 on default debt
  • Owner-paid: electric, water, maint

Voucher Spread™+41.7%vs SAFMR
Monthly rent gap+$1,000
Annual GPI upside+$12,000

Strong Voucher Spread™ of +41.7% — in-place rents sit below the HUD Small Area FMR benchmark for this ZIP. If every unit reached current HUD Small Area FMR, modeled gross income rises by roughly $12,000 per year. This is a listing-level signal, not a metro average. Confirm with comps and the actual rent roll.

Modeled from available FMLS data, unit mix, and operating assumptions and Rabun County benchmarks, and HUD Small Area FMR (ZIP-level) for Voucher Spread™ rent-gap context. DSCR and cash-on-cash use conventional terms (25% down / 7% / 30-yr) for ≤4 units. Always verify with current rent roll and expenses.

Estimated offer

Price that clears 1.25× DSCR

Modeled basis so in-place NOI covers debt at 1.25× on default conventional terms. Not a bid. If you want to offer — including below this number or below list — start here. Jeff will request the rent roll and T-12 before anyone writes a number.

Estimated offer$182,707$91,354 / door · 59% below list $450,000
  • Solve: max purchase price where modeled NOI ÷ annual debt service = 1.25×.
  • Debt assumed at 25% down / 7% / 30-yr · conventional. Vacancy 5.0%, management 10% of EGI, modeled opex (tax record + insurance / R&M allowances + owner water + electric).
  • List is $450,000. The 1.25× basis sits below ask, so financing at list is tight unless rents or expenses move.

Change GPI, expenses, or terms in the Investment Calculator to re-solve. Always confirm with the rent roll and T-12 before writing an offer.

Important Investment Information

Median estimated cap, cash-on-cash, and DSCR require MLS gross income or NOI, a dated broker package, a listing building total, or a unit rent roll covering at least 80% of doors. Thin records stay Incomplete — those yields are not printed in the hero or on cards. The calculator is a labeled scenario, not in-place income.

When a line is missing we use disclosed defaults only inside the calculator: vacancy floor of max(5%, 100 − present occupancy in remarks); management 8% of EGI at 8+ units otherwise 10%; insurance $800 per door; R&M $800 per door. Utility allowances turn on only if the who-pays grid or remarks say owner-paid (water $900–1,800 per door until a T-12). A single who-pays row does not set the building. We do not use an all-in “other” of $1,100 per door, and we do not average one sample rent across the building.
