The FMR is a reference figure, not the check. Most housing authorities set their voucher payment standard somewhere between 90% and 110% of the published FMR — $1,584 to $1,936/mo on a 3-bedroom here — and the exact percentage varies by public housing authority, with some running higher under a HUD-approved exception. Rent reasonableness against comparable unassisted rentals still applies before any lease is approved.

The DSCR math at this ZIP's rent.
At the ZIP 43551 3-bedroom Section 8 rent of $1,760/mo, the maximum PITIA that still clears a 1.20 DSCR is $1,467/mo. Assuming ~25% of that payment goes to property taxes and insurance, the maximum principal & interest is $1,100/mo — which supports roughly a $165,000 loan at around 7% over 30 years, or about a $220,000 purchase at 75% LTV.
Assumptions: 1.20 DSCR floor, ~25% of PITIA for taxes + insurance, around 7% on a 30-year fixed, 75% LTV. Rates move and your taxes, insurance, and LTV will differ — run your exact numbers in the DSCR calculator.
