How Tennessee property taxes move your DSCR
The same $300,000 rental renting for $2,400 lands at a different DSCR in each state, because taxes are part of the payment a lender counts.

What to check on a Nashville DSCR deal
- Tennessee doesn't tax wages and has one of the lowest average property tax rates in the country.
- Rentals don't get homestead treatment, so check the county assessor's figure for the address rather than the seller's bill.
- Nashville and Davidson County set a combined rate; use the assessor's figure for the address.
