How the model works

For each listing with a disclosed asking price and cash flow, we assume 30% down and a 10-year loan at 7.5% on the rest, then divide the cash left after debt service by the down payment. DSCR is cash flow divided by annual debt service. Modeled cash-on-cash values outside −25% to 150% are treated as data errors and left out of both the counts and the list. Seller figures are not verified, and listings without cash flow can't be modeled.
