What this means

    Request a Term Sheet

    No application fee. No obligation to proceed.

    Estimate only. Not a loan offer, rate quote, or financing commitment. Leverage shown is the program maximum; your leverage depends on experience, credit, and the property. DSCR amortizing payments assume a 30-year term; fix and flip, bridge, and construction loans are interest-only, with rehab and construction shown fully drawn. Final terms depend on credit, property, leverage, reserves, appraisal, and full underwriting.

    How PITI Is Calculated

    The math behind your PITI.

    PITI is a simple sum, but many investors only model principal and interest. Taxes, insurance, and HOA can materially change the monthly carrying cost.

    The formula
    + HOA dues when applicable (PITIA)
    • Principal pays down the loan balance. It’s zero on interest-only loans.

    • Interest is the lender’s charge on the outstanding balance, highest in the early years.

    • Taxes are the annual property tax divided by 12, usually paid through escrow.

    • Insurance is the annual hazard premium divided by 12. Required for most financed properties; short-term rental policies may cost more than standard rental coverage.

    Worked example

    $400,000 rental with a $300,000 DSCR loan at 7.25%, 30-year fixed

    • Principal & interest$2,046.53
    • Principal (month 1)$234.03
    • Interest (month 1)$1,812.50
    • Property tax ($5,000 ÷ 12)$416.67
    • Insurance ($1,800 ÷ 12)$150.00
    • Total monthly PITI$2,613.20
    With $3,200 monthly rent
    $3,200 ÷ $2,613.20
    1.22x

    Common mistakes that skew PITI
    1. Running P&I onlyTaxes and insurance can materially increase the monthly cost beyond principal and interest. Your offer math needs the full number.

    2. Guessing tax and insurancePull the annual tax bill from the county assessor and get a landlord insurance quote. It takes minutes.

    3. Confusing interest-only with full PITIInterest-only bridge or flip loans have no principal payment during the IO period. The balance remains due at payoff, so model both the IO phase and the take-out separately.

    PITI Calculator FAQs

    Common questions, answered.

    Straight answers to what investors ask most after running their numbers.

    PITI stands for principal, interest, taxes, and insurance, the four parts of the monthly payment on an investment property loan. When HOA dues apply, it’s often called PITIA. The calculator above includes all five.

    No. LGV Capital finances investment property only: DSCR rentals, fix and flips, bridge loans, and new construction. We don’t finance primary residences or second homes you’ll occupy yourself.

    Many consumer calculators show only principal and interest. Lenders look at the full payment, including property taxes and insurance, which can materially increase the monthly cost. Investment property insurance also often costs more than owner-occupied coverage. Use full PITI when you size up an investment property.

    Yes. On a flip, PITI is your monthly holding cost. Multiply it by your expected hold period and add it to your total project cost when you underwrite the deal. The calculator does this for you and shows your estimated equity required.

    On interest-only loans, such as bridge, fix and flip, and new construction, the principal portion of the payment is zero during the interest-only period. Interest is charged on the outstanding balance, while taxes, insurance, and other property expenses may still apply. The full balance is still due at payoff, so plan your exit, whether that’s a sale or a refinance.

    Interest is generally charged on the amount drawn, not the full loan commitment, so payments start low and rise as draws fund. The calculator shows the payment at full draw as your worst case. Once the build is complete, you typically sell or refinance into long-term financing, such as a DSCR loan.

    The principal and interest math is calculated directly from your inputs. Tax and insurance accuracy depends on the numbers you enter, so use the actual tax bill and a real insurance quote. For terms on your specific deal, get started online and a specialist will send proposed terms, often the same day.

    For property tax, look up the parcel on your county assessor’s website and use the current annual bill. For insurance, get a quote from a landlord or investment property insurance provider using the property address and how you plan to use it.

    That ratio is your DSCR. LGV Capital DSCR loans qualify from a 0.75 DSCR, meaning rent covers at least 75% of PITIA. A DSCR of 1.00 means rent covers the full PITIA payment, and 1.25 or higher generally represents stronger coverage.
