The DSCR Engine

18 tools for modeling DSCR rental-loan scenarios — from a 60-second deal check to a full after-tax returns model, all on the same deterministic core: versioned math, statutory citations, no AI-generated numbers. Every output is a preliminary estimate, not a quote or approval.

Deal Analyzer

The full picture in one pass. Track 1 shows what the lender uses to qualify the file (DSCR: whether rent covers the full monthly PITIA payment — principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA). Track 2 takes out vacancy, management fees and CapEx reserves — money set aside for the roof, the furnace, the things that fail once a decade — to show what you actually keep. It also gives you the break-even rate and cash-on-cash return (one year of cash flow ÷ the cash you put in), before you wire a deposit.

DSCR Loan Programs

Filter all 7 published Greenstreet DSCR program profiles by FICO, DSCR, LTV (how the loan amount compares to property value — lower means more equity and better terms), and property type. See which program parameters your scenario clears — and which it misses — before you make a single call. Screening is not an eligibility decision.

State Compliance Rules — 47 + DC

A 47-state-plus-DC matrix with statutory citations covering prepayment penalties (a fee some loans charge if you pay off or refinance early) and the usury statutes that sit behind them. Short-term-rental legality is a city and county question and is not in this matrix. Covers the traps that kill deals after you think you're done: OH/PA thresholds, NJ LLC risk, TX APR ban, MN HF 3437.

Monte Carlo Rate Simulation

500 simulated rate paths show the probability your DSCR (rent-to-payment ratio) breaks below 1.0 before the ARM resets. Uses a calibrated Vasicek stochastic model — the same framework bank stress teams use — giving P10/P50/P90 distributions so you can see best, median and worst case in one view.

Stress Matrix

A 120-cell grid shows every combination of rent haircut and rate shock — so you can see exactly where DSCR breaks before a lender asks. Run it in seconds; share it as a defensible page in the loan package.

After-Tax Returns

Levered IRR (return on your cash invested after debt), equity multiple (total returned ÷ invested), and after-tax IRR accounting for the full depreciation stack: §167 straight-line depreciation, §469 passive-activity-loss, §1250 recapture at sale, and §1411 net investment income tax. The real net return, every line traceable.

Tax Engine

Rental property's biggest advantage is depreciation — the IRS lets you deduct a portion of the building each year. The Tax Engine runs the full stack: §167 straight-line depreciation, §469 passive-activity-loss rules with the real-estate-professional exception, §1250 recapture at 25%, and §1411 NIIT. Every line traceable to a code section.

Short-Term Rental (STR) Underwriting

Short-term rental (Airbnb / VRBO) income is modeled on average daily rate (ADR) × occupancy with seasonal haircuts — a conservative methodology rather than the optimistic projections Airbnb shows hosts. Runs against published STR program parameters so you can model a qualifying DSCR before you list the property. Individual providers apply their own income rules.

ARM Reset Analyzer

Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) have a fixed period — e.g., 5 years on a 5/1 ARM — then reset based on an index (usually SOFR) plus a margin, subject to periodic and lifetime caps. The ARM Reset Analyzer computes the payment at every future reset date so you know the worst-case payment before your client signs.

Refi Tracker

A rate & term refinance (replace your current loan to change the rate or term, without taking cash out) pencils only if the monthly savings pay back closing costs before you sell or refinance again. The Refi Tracker shows break-even month, NPV of savings, and the minimum rate drop that justify closing costs — so you refinance when the math confirms it, not when rates feel low.

Commercial 5+ Unit DSCR

Analyze multifamily underwriting economics. Calculates EGI (effective gross income — rent after vacancy loss) and NOI (net operating income — EGI minus operating expenses, before debt service), then checks your 5+ unit deal against commercial DSCR expense-ratio minimums.

Construction & Bridge Carry

Analyze short-term carry costs and exit viability. Calculates the interest reserve on a progressive draw schedule (you're charged interest only on funds disbursed so far, not the full loan) and checks that your takeout loan (the long-term loan that replaces it) can retire the bridge note before you draw the first dollar.

TCO vs Standard DSCR

Convert standard Gross-Rent DSCR into TCO DSCR (True Cost of Ownership — DSCR with CapEx and maintenance reserves loaded into the payment side of the ratio, not just principal, interest, taxes and insurance), so you see the coverage you'll actually feel.
