Kiryas Joel, NY rental yield and cash flow
In the Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh, NY metro, the median owner-occupied home was valued at $434,900 and the median gross rent was $1,688 a month in 2024. That is a gross rent yield of 4.66%, rank 62 of the 100 largest metros we track.
Does the median home cash flow at today's rate?
We priced a hypothetical rental at the metro medians: $434,900 purchase, $1,688 rent, 25% down, a 30-year loan at 7.28% (Freddie Mac's 30-year average for the week of October 1, 2026), $8,114 in annual property taxes, insurance at 0.5% of price, and 5% vacancy, 10% repairs and 8% management.
At these assumptions the median-priced home runs about $1,789 a month short of covering its costs (DSCR 0.20). Rent would need to reach about $4,012, 138% above the median, to break even, or the price would need to be near $91,285 for a 1.25 DSCR. Net operating income is about $5,308 a year, a 1.22% cap rate, against $26,781 of annual debt service.
Investment-property loans usually price above the owner-occupant average this survey reports, and your insurance quote, tax bill and rent will differ from a metro median. Change any input below.

What these numbers leave out
Census gross rent includes utilities when the tenant pays them, so it can overstate what a landlord collects. Median value describes owner-occupied homes, not the rental stock, and a metro median hides wide neighborhood differences. Treat this page as a screen, then underwrite the specific property.
