Pays from day one — check the rent yourself

Rented normally, you'd make about $1,614 a month.

The rent is our own estimate — worth checking against two or three real local lettings. One month without a tenant wipes out about a month of that profit, so keep a buffer for gaps.

Why it works

Monthly profit +$1,614/mo from completion — the no.1 reason to invest
This is the money left after the mortgage, the running costs and tax — not the rent.It assumes the rent we modelled and the empty weeks we assumed. Change either and it moves. Try your own numbers →
Passes the lender's rate test at 6.5% — lender-friendly
Lenders test the rent against a stressed rate, not the one you are quoted. This clears it.The cover level is each lender’s own policy, not law — treat it as the shape of the test. See the lender's view →

Why to be cautious

No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.

What would have to be true?
No offer works back from a stand-in rent
Every price on this card is that rent inverted. This listing’s rent is a wider-area figure rather than a like-for-like comparison of nearby rentals, and a price worked back from it would be quoted to the $5,000 on evidence that cannot carry it.
