The county tax-drag math applies here

Property tax on a Westlake rental is set at the Cuyahoga County rate: 1.80% effective, above the 1.36% Ohio average. The full worked PITIA and DSCR example, built on a property at the county's median value, is on the Cuyahoga County page — here's the tax line specifically for a property at Westlake's own numbers:

Property value used: $195,400 (countywide)
Cuyahoga County effective tax rate: 1.80%
Estimated monthly property tax: $293

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.
