Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 1% rule?
The 1% rule checks whether monthly gross rent is at least 1% of total acquisition cost.

No. It is only an early filter and should be followed by full NOI, DSCR, and cash-flow analysis.
Should rehab and closing costs be included?
Yes. Include all upfront acquisition costs for a more realistic rule ratio.
