Your DSCR results

Enter rent, price and your quoted rate to see your DSCR.

Formula used

Loan amount (L) = Price × (100 minus Down %) ÷ 100

P&I (30 year fixed) = L × r × (1 + r)^360 ÷ ((1 + r)^360 minus 1), where r = annual rate ÷ 100 ÷ 12

P&I (40 year interest only) = L × r

PITIA = P&I + Tax ÷ 12 + Insurance ÷ 12 + HOA

DSCR = Monthly rent ÷ PITIA

Rent needed for a target DSCR = Target × PITIA

Landlord and tenant law

Leases, deposits and notices in Oklahoma

A DSCR loan underwrites the rent, so the rules that govern collecting it matter. Here is what Oklahoma law says, with the statute for each.

TopicThe ruleCitation
Security depositNo statutory cap. Unused balance returned within 45 days after termination, delivery of possession and the tenant's written demand. A tenant who makes no written demand within 6 months forfeits the deposit to the landlord.41 O.S. § 115

Month to month notice30 days written notice41 O.S. § 111(A)

Property taxes

How Oklahoma taxes rental property

Taxes go straight into PITIA, so they move your ratio. Budget for the investor rate, since rentals usually do not get homestead treatment.

  • Assessment: Real property is assessed annually as of January 1 at fair cash value based on its highest and best actual use in the prior year. A sale without a change in use does not by itself trigger reassessment to the sale price. (law.justia.com)
Closing and foreclosure

How Oklahoma closings work

What to expect at the closing table in Oklahoma, from the instrument you sign to the taxes on transfer.

  • Security instrument: Mortgage (law.justia.com)
  • Foreclosure: Judicial, or nonjudicial if the mortgage grants a power of sale with the required bold notice. A homestead owner can force judicial foreclosure by certified notice at least 10 days before the sale. Investment property is generally not homestead. 46 O.S. § 43 (law.justia.com)
  • Transfer taxes: Documentary stamp tax of $0.75 per $500 of consideration (applies when consideration exceeds $100). 68 O.S. § 3201 (law.justia.com)

Local angle

What makes Oklahoma different for rental investors

  • Oklahoma City combines state government, Tinker Air Force Base and an energy economy, while Tulsa anchors the northeast and Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma. Lawton sits next to Fort Sill. OKC investors should note that whole home STRs need a special exception, so DSCR buyers planning nightly rentals should check the block before closing. (okc.gov)
