SAFMR = ZIP-level variation. HUD sets Small Area Fair Market Rents by ZIP in this metro, so two homes in the same city can carry very different voucher ceilings.

The underwriting

The DSCR math at bergen-passaic's median rent.

A worked example — assumptions stated, not hidden. Run your exact numbers in the calculator.

At the median 3-bedroom Section 8 rent of $3,015/mo, the maximum PITIA that still clears a 1.20 DSCR is $2,513/mo. Assuming ~25% of that payment goes to property taxes and insurance, the maximum principal & interest is $1,885/mo — which supports roughly a $283,000 loan at 7% over 30 years, or about a $377,000 purchase at 75% LTV.

median 3 BR rent$3,015/mo
max PITIA @ 1.20 DSCR$2,513/mo
max P&I (~75% of PITIA)$1,885/mo
supported loan (7% / 30yr)$283,000
implied price (75% LTV)$377,000

Assumptions: 1.20 DSCR floor, ~25% of PITIA for taxes + insurance, 7.0% 30-year fixed, 75% LTV. Your taxes, insurance, rate, and LTV will differ — run your exact numbers in the DSCR calculator.

The questions investors ask before underwriting a Bergen-Passaic voucher deal.
Bergen-Passaic FMR —
What is the 3-bedroom Section 8 rent in Bergen-Passaic?
The median 3-bedroom Fair Market Rent in the Bergen-Passaic area is $3,015/mo (FY2026). Under HUD's Small Area FMR schedule it ranges from $1,820 to $4,260/mo depending on the ZIP code — see the full ZIP table above.
Bergen-Passaic FMR —
Why do Section 8 rents differ between ZIP codes in Bergen-Passaic?
HUD publishes Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) by ZIP code in most large metros, including Bergen-Passaic. Instead of one metro-wide number, each ZIP gets its own rent ceiling based on local market rents — so two homes in the same city can carry very different voucher amounts. The 3-bedroom range here spans $1,820 to $4,260/mo across the 102 ZIPs in this area.
Bergen-Passaic FMR —
Does a voucher pay the exact ZIP Fair Market Rent in Bergen-Passaic?
Not exactly. The FMR is the starting point — the local public housing authority sets its voucher payment standard at 90–110% of the ZIP's FMR, and every unit still has to pass a rent reasonableness test against comparable local rentals before the lease is approved. Treat the ZIP FMR as the ceiling, not a guaranteed payment.
