How Cap Rate Works in Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh rental market has a median home price of $225,000 and median rent of $1,250/month, which puts the average cap rate (capitalization rate) at roughly 7% for a typical single-family rental. That means for every dollar of property value, you can expect about 7 cents in annual net income before debt service.
With a 25% down payment ($56,250) and a 6.5% mortgage rate, a median Pittsburgh rental generates roughly $8,475/yr in NOI against $12,804/yr in debt service, giving you a DSCR of 0.66. That's below breakeven at median price — look for deals 15-20% below median or properties with above-average rents.
