Miami SFR rentals and ADU conversions — DSCR on market rents with Florida insurance load modeled in NOI.
Financing single-family residential (SFR) in Miami is its own underwriting thesis. Jaken Finance Group underwrites the asset and documented cash flow — not a W-2 — so this page breaks down Single-Family economics in Miami.

Why Single-Family is a distinct Miami thesis
Miami adds real local variables: foreclosure is judicial (judicial foreclosure can run a year or more — bridge timing matters.), property tax runs about ~0.86%, and state law preempts local rent control. Sponsors who treat Miami like a national template lose margin.
| Investor goal | How DSCR Loans fits Single-Family |
|---|---|
| Value-add acquisition | Bridge or permanent debt against stabilized NOI |
| BRRRR / hold exit | Stabilize, then refi when DSCR clears 1.0–1.25 |
| Portfolio scale | LLC vesting; extract equity for the next deal |
| Out-of-state sponsor | Miami asset qualifies on local rents and expenses |
Miami Single-Family parameters (2026)
| Parameter | Typical range |
|---|---|
| SFR gross rent | $2,800–$4,200/mo |
| Insurance load | Elevated — model $350–$550/mo |
| DSCR min | 1.0–1.20 |
| LTV | Up to 75% |
Terms move with credit, reserves, and condition — these reflect common qualified Miami files, not a guarantee.
Worked example: Miami single-family DSCR
Stabilized at about $3,500/mo gross on a roughly $525,000 value:
- Effective rent after 7% vacancy: $3,255
- Property tax $376, insurance $126, management $280, maintenance $141
- NOI ~$2,332/mo → supports cash-out near 55% LTV at a 1.05 DSCR
Model the tax line at the post-close assessed value, not the seller’s bill — it is the most common reason Miami refis miss coverage.

- Rate-and-term refi. Replace short-term bridge debt with a 30-year DSCR note once the rent roll is stabilized.

We underwrite to your primary and backup exit up front — that is what keeps a Miami single-family deal financeable if the market shifts mid-project.
