You will probably need to prove your income and expenses, provide a 10-30% down payment, have some money in the bank as reserves, and have pretty good credit.

 

The property will probably need to have a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) at 1.1 or above. You might be able to convince a lender to go down to 0.9, but it could be pretty difficult to do that. Please visit the links below to learn more about the DSCR.

The first real estate investment a renter should make is to own the home they live in. It is pointless to own an investment property, but continue to pay out rent to someone else. Why not just eliminate the rent payments, and pay on a house that someday will be paid off. If you can afford two payments, you could buy two investments instead of paying rent on one property and owning another.

 

Finally, the very first investment one should make is to pay off any debts they owe. There is virtually no way to carry a debt, invest in real estate (or anything else), and be ahead. Pay off the debts first, then make investments.

The list is sorted by highest to lowest district average ACT scores. For a full description of the ranking methodology please scroll to the end of this list. Boulder County is excluded from this list. This data is based on the 2006-2007 school year CSAP tests. A perfect ACT score is 36. The state school average ACT score is 18.95.

 

District Average
ACT Score
District Average
Proficiency Score
District Name
 
21.48 63.67 Littleton Public Schools
19.85 57.39 Cherry Creek School District
19.82 56.26 Douglas County School District
18.65 46.96 Jeffco Public Schools (Jefferson County)
17.06 36.17 Englewood Schools
16.39 31.63 Adams 12 Five Star Schools
15.57 21.28 Mapleton Public Schools
14.83 28.22 Adams County School District 50
14.39 25.23 Denver Public Schools
14.04 29.33 Sheridan School District
13.98 22.72 Aurora Public Schools

 

Ranking Methodology: Here is how the rank of the school districts were determined. Initially, all of the high schools were entered into a database. The State of Colorado provides various statistics about every high school in the state at this website. I copied list form data from the state website, which included data such as school name, address, and grades served. I then accessed individual detailed school reports to obtain and enter school average ACT scores for 11th reading, writing, and math. I also obtained and entered a value known as “percent of students scoring proficient and advanced” for the school in 9th and 10th grade reading, writing, and math. I then created a combined average ACT score for every high school based on the school average ACT scores in reading, writing, and math. I also created a combined proficiency score based on the school average proficiency scores in reading, writing, and math. I then averaged all of ACT scores for all of the high schools in each district to create district average ACT score. The list above is sorted from highest to lowest, by district average ACT score. Some school accountability reports did not include school average ACT scores. If a school accountability report did not include a school average ACT score, that school was omitted from this report.

I will use an income statement from an actual property in order to calculate the DSCR. To view the full income statement, Simply click here.

 

The first step is to calculate the following:
Annual Gross Scheduled Income
Annual Vacancy
Annual Expenses

debt service coverage ratio c

Next subtract the annual Expenses and annual Vacancy from the annual Gross Scheduled Income. This gives you Annual Net Operating Income.

debt service coverage ratio a

debt service coverage ratio b

Next, divide Annual Net Operating Income by Annual Debt Service (annual mortgage payments). This gives you the Debt Service Coverage Ratio. A DSCR of 1.00 or below is generally frowned upon, because the property does not make enough money to pay the mortgage (or barely pays it).

debt service coverage ratio d

debt service coverage ratio f

The debt service coverage ratio for this property is 0.79.

debt service coverage ratio e

If the income were higher, the property could have a positive Debt Service Coverage Ratio.

 

Be sure to check out my article What is Debt Service Coverage Ratio.

Tony <![CDATA[What is Debt Service Coverage Ratio?]]> http://www.tonymassey.com/what-is-debt-service-coverage-ratio 2008-04-17T20:54:54Z 2008-04-12T18:23:17Z Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is a measurement of the net income of a rental property against the debt service of a rental property. If there is not enough net income (which is income after expenses) to cover the mortgage (debt payment) then the investor will have to provide funds from other sources to pay the mortgage, or in a worst case scenario, the property could foreclose.

 

Banks use the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as part of their decision to lend funds on an investment property. If the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is too negative, or unacceptable to the bank, (say a DSCR below 1.2) then the bank may decline the mortgage application.
