Run the Numbers Before You Commit
A rental property can be a great investment - but only if the math works. This tool gives you a realistic picture of cash flow, qualification impact, and feasibility before you get emotionally attached to a listing.
How Lenders Evaluate Rental Properties
Most lenders count only 50% of expected rental income toward your qualification. You’ll need a minimum 20% down payment for investment properties, and the stress test applies to both your existing mortgage and the new one.
Cash Flow vs. Appreciation
A property with negative cash flow isn’t necessarily a bad investment - but you need to be able to cover the shortfall from other income. This tool shows both the monthly cash flow picture and your qualification capacity so you can make an informed decision.
