Rental property underwriting
Confirm the property, price, income, and assumptions. TrueCap then shows whether the deal works and why. Your first full decision is free, with no account.
Analysis type:Buy & Hold
Optional. A free account is required to look up available property facts and estimates. You'll review any changes; values you entered will not be replaced silently.
Add bedrooms to auto-estimate rent (HUD area data).
Enter a nightly rate and occupancy — we'll model the monthly revenue (ADR × occupancy).
Offer Ceiling criteria: break-even cash flow · DSCR ≥ 1.25
These values drive the preview. Every source is labeled, and every number is editable.
Property Type
Defaults to 3% of purchase price if left blank.
Up-front repairs — added to cash invested (lowers cash-on-cash).
Estimate and manage your ongoing property expenses.
Click "Show Advanced Options" to review any value. Type 0 explicitly when you intend to exclude a material expense.
Property tax is not verified. The preliminary result uses a generic 1.1% of purchase price fallback. Enter the local annual bill or a reviewed local rate before relying on NOI, cash flow, cap rate, DSCR, or Offer Ceiling.
Enter a reviewed local annual rate on purchase price. Blank uses the disclosed generic 1.1% preliminary assumption.
Annual insurance rate applied to purchase price. Leave blank to use the default 0.5%.
Monthly homeowners association fees if applicable.
Monthly Operating Expenses
Advanced Options (Optional)
Annual growth rate for operating expenses.
Annual growth rate for rental income.
Optional deal-specific detail. These values are included in the saved underwrite, shared decision and report. Leave a field blank only when it does not apply; a typed 0 means you intentionally modeled none.
Keep current operations separate from the stabilized case. The selected case drives the headline underwrite.
Required only when the stabilized scenario is selected. Current rent remains in the main rent field.
Parking, laundry, pet or utility income that repeats.
Optional reference value; purchase price still anchors acquisition cap rate.
Optional supported value assumption, kept distinct from asking price and ARV.
Monthly dollar assumptions grow with the expense-growth rate in the projection; percentage reserves remain linked to rent.
Advanced note terms and settlement cash. Interest-only and balloon assumptions use the same full-precision schedule as reports and projections.
0 or blank means fully amortizing from month 1.
Defaults to the loan term. A longer amortization than maturity creates a balloon.
Seller/lender credits reduce cash required but cannot exceed modeled cash uses.
Optional simplified downtime only: the entered rent reduction affects projected rent while the existing rehab budget remains a day-zero cash amount. Leave all three timing fields blank to use the labeled steady-state analysis. Specialist BRRRR and flip models stay disabled.
Used only in pre-tax hold-return math; no exit or tax strategy is implied.
This is not a renovation lifecycle model. Draw/funding timing, placed-in-service and lease-up timing, repair-versus-capital classification, basis and tax treatment, and financed improvements are excluded.
Used in the Deal score age-risk check. If left blank, a conservative uncertainty modifier applies. It does not auto-adjust your expense assumptions.
