Effective Gross Income

Defined by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker

Effective gross income is a property's total income minus expected vacancy and losses. Investors use it to judge a rental. It gives a truer picture than full rent.

What Effective Gross Income means

It drives a rental's value and its DSCR. A realistic number leads to a sound deal. Overstating rent hides real risk.

Florida example

A Florida rental rarely stays full all year. Effective gross income accounts for that gap. We use it to test if a deal cash flows.
