The DSCR math at otsego county's median rent.
At the median 3-bedroom Section 8 rent of $1,435/mo, the maximum PITIA that still clears a 1.20 DSCR is $1,196/mo. Assuming ~25% of that payment goes to property taxes and insurance, the maximum principal & interest is $897/mo — which supports roughly a $135,000 loan at 7% over 30 years, or about a $180,000 purchase at 75% LTV.
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.
