This one never reached the math. What stopped it is below.

94621 · East Bay

We priced this duplex on our own cautious rent research and then read what the listing actually says it collects. Unit A is rented at $1,651.12 a month and Unit B at $1,730.62, and the property is tenant occupied month to month.Our cautious case had the one rented home at $2,920 a month, which is about 69 percent above what that home collects today. A sitting tenant is priced at the rent they actually pay, and our cautious case is built on the rent already in place, never on what the next tenant might pay.Priced at the rent the listing states, this stops beating renting and investing the difference: the index side finishes about $175,600 ahead over ten years. That makes it a rejection this week.

Where these numbers come from

Of the 10 inputs behind this analysis, 4 trace to evidence (our listing feed, area comps, county records); 2 are standing conventions; 1 is derived from other inputs.

  • Purchase price: an unclassified source · corroborated
  • Rent while you live in one unit: area rent comps and research bands · single source
  • Rent after you move out: an unclassified source · no independent witness
  • The rent you would pay on the never-buy path: area rent comps and research bands · single source
  • Property tax rate: county assessor records · single source
  • Unit count: our listing feed · corroborated

A standing convention is a deliberate modeling choice we apply to every deal. We flag it rather than dress it up as evidence.

What we could not verify

  • The verdict: we never had enough on this property to run the numbers, so there is nothing here to set against the S&P, and nothing to re-run with your own figures.

Members on a paid plan can request verification.
