DSCR Loans in Fostoria, Ohio
Financing a rental in Fostoria, Ohio runs through Seneca County's property tax rate and the local rent and value numbers below — here's how they combine on a DSCR loan.
01
Fostoria at a glance
- County
- Seneca County
- Population
- 13,046 (2020 Census)
- Type
- City
Fostoria isn't contained entirely within Seneca County — it also extends into Hancock and Wood County. The tax rate and figures on this page use Seneca County, which is where the majority of Fostoria's parcels sit; a specific address near the county line should confirm its actual taxing county before closing.
02
Home values and rent in Fostoria
We don't have a Fostoria-specific median home value. Countywide, Seneca County's figure is $154,700 (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — treat this as a county-level baseline, not a Fostoria number. On rent, we're again working from the county: Seneca County's median gross rent is $856/mo (ACS 2020-2024 5yr), not a Fostoria-specific figure.
03
The county tax-drag math applies here
Seneca County's 1.03% effective tax rate applies to property in Fostoria — below the 1.36% statewide average. The full worked PITIA and DSCR example, built on a property at the county's median value, is on the Seneca County page — here's the tax line specifically for a property at Fostoria's own numbers:
- Property value used
- $154,700 (countywide)
- Seneca County effective tax rate
- 1.03%
- Estimated monthly property tax
- $133
That estimate uses an observed Ohio DSCR average of 7.20% (Q2 2026)¹ elsewhere in the full county example — this is a market observation, not an offer; your rate depends on your DSCR, credit, LTV and loan purpose, and is set by the lender, not by us.
