Property Taxes and Insurance in Deal Analysis
Why taxes and insurance deserve explicit line items instead of a generic expense percentage.
Property taxes and insurance can be among the largest operating assumptions in a rental model. They vary by address, coverage, claims history, construction, lender requirements, and reassessment rules.
Ask for current evidence
Use the latest tax record, insurance quote, renewal history, deductibles, flood or wind requirements, and lender escrow assumptions you can obtain.
Stress renewals
Run a higher-insurance and higher-tax case before deciding that a deal works.
