The underwriting

The DSCR math at clearfield county'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 $1,320/mo, the maximum PITIA that still clears a 1.20 DSCR is $1,100/mo. Assuming ~25% of that payment goes to property taxes and insurance, the maximum principal & interest is $825/mo — which supports roughly a $124,000 loan at 7% over 30 years, or about a $165,000 purchase at 75% LTV.

median 3 BR rent$1,320/mo
max PITIA @ 1.20 DSCR$1,100/mo
max P&I (~75% of PITIA)$825/mo
supported loan (7% / 30yr)$124,000
implied price (75% LTV)$165,000

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.

FAQ

Clearfield County Section 8, answered.

The questions investors ask before underwriting a Clearfield County voucher deal.
Clearfield County FMR —
What is the 3-bedroom Section 8 rent in Clearfield County?
The median 3-bedroom Fair Market Rent in the Clearfield County area is $1,320/mo (FY2026). Under HUD's Small Area FMR schedule it ranges from $1,290 to $1,840/mo depending on the ZIP code — see the full ZIP table above.
Clearfield County FMR —
Why do Section 8 rents differ between ZIP codes in Clearfield County?
HUD publishes Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) by ZIP code in most large metros, including Clearfield County. 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 $1,290 to $1,840/mo across the 47 ZIPs in this area.
Clearfield County FMR —
Does a voucher pay the exact ZIP Fair Market Rent in Clearfield County?
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.
