Two real estate metrics every investor should know! Most investors focus on ROI and cap rates, but two lesser-known metrics can make a big difference: Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) and Break-Even Occupancy Rate. DSCR shows if your property makes enough income to cover its debt payments. Break-Even Occupancy Rate tells you how full your property needs to be to pay all expenses. Understanding these numbers can help you reduce risk, get better loan terms, and build a stronger investment portfolio. How do you use these metrics in your real estate journey?

Much easier to transact real estate at a 5% interest rate than a 10% rate due to the necessary price reductions to hit bank minimum DSCRs (Debt Service Coverage Ratios). As interest rates increase cap rates must also increase to make for a lucrative investment. -> High Interest Rate = Higher Debt Payment -> Higher Debt Payment -> Higher Net Income Needed -> Higher Net Income Needed = Higher Cap Rate -> Higher Cap Rate = Lower Price Great chart illustrating this point.

I am frequently questioned about our prudent investment approach. We persue investments that have high distributions and almost exclusively use fixed-rate debt. The current market conditions provide a clear justification for our strategy: in an environment of higher and sustained interest rates, coupled with sluggish transactions, having a robust cash buffer from high distributions proves beneficial. Additionally, avoiding the direct impact of escalating interest rates is advantageous when utilizing fixed-rate debt exclusively. See the below article from The Wall Street Journal about the dynamics of the real estate market we find ourselves in. https://lnkd.in/dP-zNTEN
