Gross Scheduled Income (GSI), also called Estimated Annual Rent, is the total rental income a property could earn in a perfect world—if it were fully leased year-round at current market rates. It doesn’t account for vacancies or late payments, but it gives you a top-line estimate of your property’s income potential.
For real estate investors, GSI is a great starting point. It helps you quickly compare deals, estimate cash flow, and run preliminary return calculations like cap rate and DSCR. It’s especially useful when evaluating turnkey properties or replacement options in a 1031 exchange, where speed and clarity matter.
At Meridian, every property comes with a GSI figure based on local comps and leasing conditions. We also show actual rent (when leased) and factor in realistic vacancy assumptions, so you’re not relying on inflated numbers. GSI is your baseline—what you could earn if everything goes right.
