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 $3,352/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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $435,000 | -$656/mo | 0.72 | -7.9% | NEGOTIATE |

Read: at FY2025 benchmark rents, standard-financing buy-and-hold is challenging at these price points in Nassau — 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.
