UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA · PROPERTY-SPECIFIC FINANCING
Start with the property and numbers you already supplied. Values marked as planning assumptions are editable; missing rent is not replaced with a generic property-specific estimate.
THE INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK
A location label does not tell you whether the property fits student tenants, parents or year-round households. Investigate the specific building, street, lease cycle and permitted use.
Compare relevant leased properties, not just current asking rents. Look at bedroom configuration, transportation, condition and who pays utilities. Model the lease term and summer exposure.
Ask what changes if one room stays empty, a lease starts late or the property needs a repair between tenants.
Collect actual tax information, an insurance quote, association dues and maintenance history. Add management and leasing charges, utilities paid by the owner, vacancy and capital reserves.
A seller’s historic bill may not equal your future bill. Separate recurring operating expenses from one-time acquisition work.
Compare the loan amount, rate, points, payment structure, reserves and any prepayment restriction. A planned early sale may make an apparently cheaper rate expensive.
For a DSCR discussion, ask which rent figure and which debt-service calculation the lender uses.
THE NUMBERS, WITH YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
The interest rate is a planning input, not a current offer. Enter actual taxes, insurance, HOA and mortgage insurance when available. Results update as you type.
Enter the property price and your financing assumptions to see an estimate. Add only costs you know; confirm zero where it applies.
INTERPRETING THE OUTPUT
Residential DSCR in this tool compares gross rent with the entered total housing payment. Operating-income coverage subtracts operating expenses first and divides by principal and interest. Neither number is a commitment from a lender.
The cash-flow output includes your vacancy, management and maintenance allowances. A positive result depends on those assumptions. Review the property again with lower rent, higher repairs and a higher financing cost.
Write a plan for sale, continued rental and a refinance that is unavailable or unattractive. Include transaction costs, reserve needs, the remaining loan balance and any prepayment cost.
Ask how many months of negative cash flow you can cover. If you need a perfect lease-up or price appreciation to continue owning the property, make that dependence explicit before you buy.

No property market is immune to vacancy, expenses, tenant turnover or changing demand. Evaluate the specific property and a downside case rather than relying on the presence of a university.
Cap rate is annual net operating income divided by price under your expense assumptions. A target depends on the market, condition, risk and alternatives. Confirm the income definition before comparing properties.
Some lender programs allow entity ownership subject to their own documentation and guaranty rules. Confirm title, borrower structure and state availability before forming or transferring an entity for a specific loan.
Send the listing, price, intended use, expected rent and its source, proposed down payment, operating budget and your hold period. The scenario form preserves the numbers you explored here.
