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

Property taxes

Wyoming property taxes on a rental

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

  • Assessment: Residential property is assessed at 9.5% of market value, and the tax is that taxable value times the combined mill levy set by local taxing entities. The Department of Revenue example: a $100,000 home has a $9,500 taxable value and, at 68 mills, a $646 tax bill. W.S. 39-13-103 (wyo-prop-div.wyo.gov)
  • 2025 homeowner exemption: A 2025 law (SF0069) exempts 25% of the fair market value of a single family residential structure and its land, on the first $1,000,000 of value, starting with tax year 2025. Beginning with tax year 2026 the claimant must actually live in the home at least 8 months of the year, so a non owner occupied rental does not qualify. W.S. 39-11-105(a)(xlvi), 2025 SF0069 (wyoleg.gov)
Closing and foreclosure

Closing a rental in Wyoming: deeds, foreclosure and taxes

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

  • Security instrument: Mortgage with power of sale is used (statute addresses mortgages containing a power of sale). (law.justia.com)
  • Foreclosure: Nonjudicial: a mortgage containing a power of sale may be foreclosed by advertisement within 10 years after maturity. W.S. 34-4-102 (law.justia.com)
LLC and vesting

Closing a Wyoming rental in an LLC

What it costs to form and keep an LLC in good standing with the Wyoming Secretary of State.

  • Formation fee: $100 Articles of Organization (sos.wyo.gov)
  • Annual report fee: Annual report license tax: the greater of $60 or two tenths of one mill on Wyoming located and employed assets (sos.wyo.gov)
Local angle

What makes Wyoming different for rental investors

  • Wyoming has no state personal income tax and a low assessment ratio, which keeps carrying costs modest for rental owners. Cheyenne is home to F.E. Warren Air Force Base and state government, Laramie hosts the University of Wyoming, and Casper ties to the energy economy, so demand drivers differ sharply by city. (law.justia.com)
