Arizona Rental Market Snapshot
State-level data DSCR underwriters use to size Arizona rental deals.
Arizona's non-judicial foreclosure framework and surging Sun-Belt in-migration make it a top-five DSCR origination state. Phoenix MSA SFR rents grew faster than the national average through 2025, and Scottsdale's STR-permitted inventory continues to support 1.6+ DSCR ratios. Investors should note Phoenix and Tempe limit STR density in residential zones — verify local STR registration before underwriting nightly-rate income.
Major Arizona Markets We Fund
Active DSCR deal flow across Arizona's core rental markets. Same requirements — 1.2 DSCR, 680+ FICO, 20–25% down — apply statewide.
| Metro | Median Price | Gross Yield | DSCR Investor Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix | $445K | 5.5–6.5% | Largest DSCR market in AZ — strong long-term rental demand, limited STR-permitted inventory |
| Tucson | $320K | 6.5–7.5% | Higher cap rates, university rental demand, lower entry price |
| Mesa | $415K | 5.5–6.5% | Suburban Phoenix, family-oriented LTRs, fast-growing employment |

Arizona Eviction Timeline & Landlord Posture
How Arizona courts handle non-payment evictions — material to DSCR loss-severity assumptions.
Arizona's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act allows non-payment evictions in as few as 21 days from notice. Special detainer hearings are scheduled within 6 days of filing.
Arizona Rate Adjustment vs National Baseline
Phoenix/Scottsdale jumbo pricing tracks national baseline; non-judicial foreclosure shortens lender risk timeline.
Final pricing depends on FICO, LTV, DSCR, property type, and program. Baseline national DSCR refi rates start at 6.25% as of May 2026.
