DSCR Loans in Vermilion, Ohio
Financing a rental in Vermilion, Ohio runs through Lorain County's property tax rate and the local rent and value numbers below — here's how they combine on a DSCR loan.
01
Vermilion at a glance
- County
- Lorain County
- Population
- 10,659 (2020 Census)
- Type
- City
Vermilion isn't contained entirely within Lorain County — it also extends into Erie County. The tax rate and figures on this page use Lorain County, which is where the majority of Vermilion's parcels sit; a specific address near the county line should confirm its actual taxing county before closing.
02
Home values and rent in Vermilion
We don't have a Vermilion-specific median home value. Countywide, Lorain County's figure is $223,200 (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — treat this as a county-level baseline, not a Vermilion number. On rent, we're again working from the county: Lorain County's median gross rent is $966/mo (ACS 2020-2024 5yr), not a Vermilion-specific figure.
03
The county tax-drag math applies here
Lorain County's 1.22% effective tax rate applies to property in Vermilion — 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 Lorain County page — here's the tax line specifically for a property at Vermilion's own numbers:
- Property value used
- $223,200 (countywide)
- Lorain County effective tax rate
- 1.22%
- Estimated monthly property tax
- $227
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.
