The softest number in a DSCR file is the rent — and the whole loan leans on it.

You underwrite off what the property should rent for. The lender uses an appraiser's rent schedule, built from actual leases on comparable nearby units. If the two disagree, the appraiser's number is the one that counts.

A $200 gap sounds minor. On a $2,000 payment, it's a 1.20 ratio turning into a 1.10 — enough to shift your pricing or shrink your max loan.

Pull comps from your actual submarket, keep signed leases handy, and stay conservative on post-renovation rent until it's leased.

Underwrite to the number an appraiser would defend.
