How Cap Rate Works in Nashville
The Nashville rental market has a median home price of $425,000 and median rent of $1,750/month, which puts the average cap rate (capitalization rate) at roughly 5% for a typical single-family rental. That means for every dollar of property value, you can expect about 5 cents in annual net income before debt service.
With a 25% down payment ($106,250) and a 6.5% mortgage rate, a median Nashville rental generates roughly $12,925/yr in NOI against $24,180/yr in debt service, giving you a DSCR of 0.53. That's below breakeven at median price — look for deals 15-20% below median or properties with above-average rents.
