    Littleton Investment Property — FAQ

    What's a good cap rate in Littleton?

    Littleton single-family homes typically cap at 3-5% due to higher price points. Attached homes (condos/townhomes) can reach 5-7%. A cap rate above 5% is considered strong for this market. Remember: cap rate doesn't account for financing — use cash-on-cash return for that.

    Does the 1% rule work in Littleton?

    The 1% rule (monthly rent ≥ 1% of purchase price) is difficult to hit in Littleton's single-family market at current prices. You'll find better ratios on condos/townhomes or fixer-uppers. Focus on cash-on-cash return and appreciation potential instead of the 1% rule alone.

    What DSCR do lenders require?

    Most investment lenders want a DSCR of 1.25x or higher, meaning your NOI covers debt service by 25%+. Below 1.0x means the property loses money each month. DSCR loans are popular for investors who don't want to qualify based on personal income.
