The investor's view of Miami: official FY2025 rents for the Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, FL HUD Metro FMR Area, and what a standard 3-bedroom rental actually pencils at across price points — every figure computed by the same deterministic engine behind the analyzer.

Source: U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, FY2025. FMRs sit at the 40th percentile — treat them as floor benchmarks; renovated or well-located units often rent above.
Underwritten at the metro's $3,008/mo 3BR benchmark with 20% down, 7% interest, and a full operating-expense load (taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, management):
| Purchase price | Monthly cash flow | DSCR | Cash-on-cash | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $390,000 | -$597/mo | 0.71 | -8% | NEGOTIATE |
| $450,000 | -$979/mo | 0.59 | -11.3% | PASS |
| $510,000 | -$1,360/mo | 0.5 | -13.9% | PASS |
Read: at FY2025 benchmark rents, standard-financing buy-and-hold is challenging at these price points in Miami — deals here need discounts, higher-rent units, or a different strategy (rent-by-room often changes the math entirely). Illustrative scenarios, not offers of advice — every real deal needs its own underwriting.
These are benchmark scenarios. The analyzer underwrites an actual property — records, live listing status, market rent estimate, all six strategies — in 30 seconds.
