Then multiply by .25 to approximate the increase in interest rate vs paying the discount in points?

I usually find about 5 similar comps & divide each of their sold price by its total sqft, get the average price per sqft of the comps then finally multiply the average price per sqft of the 5 comps to the subject property.

The tax assessed value for that property is $105,540 multiplied by the unexempt tax rate in Dallas of ~2.74% is $2,885.

@Jay Sassau Your at a Gross Rent Multiplier of 5.09, which is not a home run but it is very solid.

You can take a quick look at their financial statements, and just multiply those ratios by equity capital to get a quick potential idea.

Let's assume I go to buy this property:Purchase Price: 2,000,00025% Down Payment: 500,000Balance to finance: 1,500,000Payments @ 3.8%: 6,989/monthNOI: 8,402/month Cap rate: 5.49%Gross Multiplier: 11.66DSCR: 120.21%Assuming the lender will do DSCR 1.20 this should pencil out on that end.  

If you know the purchase price of three similar fourplexes and know the approximate market rents you can multiply annual rents by 4 and divide the sales price by that number.

The most it could be is 2.15% so if you multiply that by whatever your loan amount was that would be the max you could get back in rebate.From what I'm gathering your broker told you to ask the escrow officer why the rebate was cut. 

However the expectation is that there will be multiply offers and could drive the price to 130K which than gets us outside the thumb rules which is why it is important to nail down the ARV.I think our MOV could be 127,000 based on 80% of the max ARV (190K) minus the 25K in repairs.   

You find the average cost per square foot of those properties, multiply it by the square foot of the subject property, then add/subtract for condition and other factors.
