HUD Section-8 Rent (Fair Market Rent)
The rent the U.S. government will pay for this exact home size in this exact ZIP code - published public data, guaranteed money, not an algorithm's guess.
HUD Fair Market Rents (FMR) are the rent levels the U.S. government will pay for Section-8 housing vouchers — published for every ZIP code and bedroom count, every year. It is real, public, verifiable data, not an algorithm’s guess.
For investors, Section-8 tenants mean government-guaranteed rent deposited on the first of the month. In many working-class markets the HUD rent is HIGHER than the open-market rent — a genuine edge.
OnOffDeals underwrites every rental with the actual HUD FMR for its ZIP and bedroom count, so the cash-flow numbers are anchored to what a housing authority will demonstrably pay.
