The PITIA Stress Test

Insurance is the only line in your DSCR denominator that can move materially between the number you underwrite and the policy you actually bind. This worksheet finds the premium at which the deal stops working, while you can still walk.

  • Builds your PITIA line by line, including the reassessed tax figure rather than the seller's
  • Gives you the break point, the maximum monthly premium your deal can carry and still clear underwriting
  • Stress tests the premium at plus 10, 25 and 50 percent, so you know your headroom before you are under contract

One page, print ready. Built for investors buying in reassessment counties and hard insurance markets.

Why this line and not another

Rates get quoted and taxes get published. Insurance arrives last, and it moves the most.

Most investors size a rental on the seller's tax bill and a placeholder premium, then bind the real policy weeks later at a number nobody modeled. In reassessment counties and hard insurance markets, that single gap is large enough to take a file from qualifying to declined with nothing else about the deal having changed.

The worksheet gives you the number to check against before you are committed. If you want the full argument and the underwriting mechanics behind it, read our companion piece on how insurance and PITIA are underwritten in 2026.
