Minnesota Rental Market Snapshot
State-level data DSCR underwriters use to size Minnesota rental deals.
Minnesota's DSCR market is bifurcated by the Saint Paul rent-control ordinance. Minneapolis remains a strong cap-rate market with no rent cap and growing employment. Saint Paul properties require legal-rent verification and grow NOI only at the 3% cap. Greater Minnesota, Rochester (Mayo Clinic), Duluth, St. Cloud, offers higher yields with thinner deal flow.

| Saint Paul | $295K | 6.0–7.5% | 3% rent cap requires legal-rent DSCR underwriting, slower NOI growth |
| Rochester | $305K | 6.5–8.0% | Mayo Clinic employment anchor, healthcare-driven LTR demand |

Minnesota Rate Adjustment vs National Baseline
Saint Paul 3% cap reduces NOI growth; Minneapolis and rest-of-state price on national curves.
Final pricing depends on DSCR, LTV, property type, and program. Credit is lender underwriting. Governed best-tier floor 5.80% from rate-floors.json as of August 1, 2026.
