Jonathan Small 50% Rule vs DSCR > which do you use to calculate a good rental
7 February 2025 | 5 replies
However, they approach financial health from different angles.The 50% Rule is a quick estimate that suggests operating expenses (excluding mortgage principal and interest) will roughly equal 50% of the property's gross income.The DSCR is a more precise calculation (Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service) that determines if a property generates enough income to cover its debt obligations.Deal example:- Class C middle class neighborhood- 4bd / 2ba single family house- ARV: 190k- Purchase: 105k- Rehab: 35k- Market rent: $1,400-1,525- Section 8: $1,475- Property manager: 10%- Taxes: 125 month- Insurance $1250 yr- HOA: $55 month- purchased and rehabbed with all cash.
Mindy Perry property management software and 1099 K

My CPA was unsure... do you issue 1090-NEC for the difference between 1099-K and 1099-MISC or do you double up the income (i.e. 1099-NEC for gross rents from PM, 1099-K of the net owner distribution on 1099-K, then owner reports double income and puts a line item expense for the 1099-K since 1099-MISC covers gross rents).You need a new accountant lolPM issues 1099-MISC, not NEC for rental income paid to property owners.You would still issue the rental income paid to the owners regardless of the payment method.The Property Owners should add an expense line item on Schedule C stating that income reported twice on Form 1099 to offset any duplicated amount.
