Normalized rent schedule
What HUD’s benchmark means for a first-pass screen.
The final column divides annual FMR by 12%. It is a mechanical gross-rent screen—not a valuation, offer price, or projected net return. It excludes taxes, insurance, repairs, vacancy, management, utilities, financing, and property condition.
| Bedroom band | Monthly FMR | Annualized FMR | Price at 12% gross yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $933 | $11,196 | $93,300 |
| 1 bedroom | $1,058 | $12,696 | $105,800 |
| 2 bedroom | $1,279 | $15,348 | $127,900 |
| 3 bedroom | $1,646 | $19,752 | $164,600 |
| 4 bedroom | $1,760 | $21,120 | $176,000 |
Data-specific observations
Three facts worth carrying into underwriting.
The normalized dataset contains 352 source rows last observed June 20, 2026 for Cleveland; 319 clear the basic price, bedroom, and non-land completeness gate.
The HUD schedule belongs to Cleveland, OH HUD Metro FMR Area. A metro benchmark does not prove a specific unit’s approved rent, payment standard, inspection outcome, or rent reasonableness.
Diligence before ranking
Questions the rent table cannot answer.
The displayed Cleveland counts separate all observed active source rows from rows with a usable price, supported bedroom count, and non-land property type. Neither count replaces current condition, tax, insurance, occupancy, or rent-reasonableness checks.
- 01What will property taxes be after the purchase rather than under the seller's current basis?
- 02Does the unit configuration match the recorded bedroom count and the applicable housing-quality requirements?
- 03Which repairs, utilities, vacancy, management, and ongoing maintenance costs are absent from a first-pass gross-yield screen?
