How investors finance Commerce rentals
- 12.8% of Commerce homes are renter-occupied, which tells you the rental demand is structural. It does not tell you what any single property will rent for, and that is the figure an underwriter will ask you to support.
- A rental does not receive Michigan’s principal-residence exemption, so it is taxed at 42.19 mills instead of 24.53. On a $403,744 Commerce property that is roughly $710 a month, about $3,565 a year more than an owner-occupant pays, and it sits on the expense side of your coverage ratio. Estimate only.
- DSCR compares the property’s rent against its total monthly obligation including taxes and insurance. Above 1.0 means it covers itself. Your personal returns are not the qualifying document, and most DSCR lenders will let you hold the property in an LLC.
Two homes in Commerce can carry different tax rates
- Commerce covers 3 school districts: Walled Lake Cons; Huron Valley; Lake Walled Lake Cons.
- Lake Walled Lake Cons carries the highest rate here at 34.01 mills; Walled Lake Cons the lowest at 24.53.
- On a $403,744 home that is roughly $160 a month between them — the same house, the same income, a different approval amount.
- Ask which district an address falls in before you write the offer, not after.
