Frequently Asked Questions
Escrow mechanics?
Lender collects 1/12 of annual taxes each month, pays county on behalf of borrower. Reviewed annually. Shortages make up in next 12 months. Surplus refunded or applied.
Typical growth?
Residential: 2-4% annual typical. Commercial: 3-6%. Hot markets reassessment cycles: 5-15% one-time spike. Plan for growth — underwriting should use 3-5% annual rate.
Shock avoidance?
Save 10-15% above current escrow as buffer. Monitor reassessments carefully. Appeal if assessments unreasonable. Seek rate relief (appeal) before committing to purchase.
How often should I rerun this?
Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
