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 | $1,009 | $12,108 | $100,900 |
| 1 bedroom | $1,122 | $13,464 | $112,200 |
| 2 bedroom | $1,411 | $16,932 | $141,100 |
| 3 bedroom | $1,724 | $20,688 | $172,400 |
| 4 bedroom | $1,868 | $22,416 | $186,800 |
Data-specific observations
Three facts worth carrying into underwriting.
The normalized dataset contains 478 source rows last observed June 20, 2026 for Detroit; 112 clear the basic price, bedroom, and non-land completeness gate.
The HUD schedule belongs to Detroit-Warren-Livonia, MI 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.
Detroit source coverage can include rows without the fields needed for a clean bedroom-and-price comparison. Cash Flow Gems reports both total and matchable counts, with dates, so that apparent precision is not overstated.
- 01Is the asking price tied to a habitable rental or to a property needing material rehabilitation?
- 02What are the verified post-sale taxes, title status, insurance terms, and local compliance requirements?
- 03Does the exact property qualify for the modeled bedroom band after inspection and rent-reasonableness review?
