a worked example — assumptions stated, not hidden. run your exact numbers in the calculator.

At the median 3-bedroom Section 8 rent of $1,350/mo, the maximum PITIA that still clears a 1.20 DSCR is $1,125/mo. Assuming ~25% of that payment goes to property taxes and insurance, the maximum principal & interest is $844/mo — which supports roughly a $127,000 loan at 7% over 30 years, or about a $169,000 purchase at 75% LTV.
