New Jersey Rental Market Snapshot
State-level data DSCR underwriters use to size New Jersey rental deals.
New Jersey is one of the most heavily regulated DSCR markets in the country. 100+ municipalities have local rent control with caps in the 2–5% range. The Anti-Eviction Act requires good-cause for non-renewal, materially slowing tenant transitions. Newark, Jersey City, and Hudson County offer NYC-commuter premium pricing; South Jersey (Cherry Hill, Camden suburbs) offers higher cap rates with PA-border employment dynamics.

New Jersey Rate Adjustment vs National Baseline
Anti-Eviction Act, 100+ local rent control ordinances, and judicial foreclosure all increase lender loss severity assumptions.
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.
