Conservative leads; base and optimistic are the accompanying range, never the headline. Margin is vs. investing the same money in the S&P 500; the S&P breakeven is the yearly stock return that would tie it, and the crash floor is the yearly appreciation below which the deal loses. Wealth at year 10 counts home equity at full value; the sold line subtracts selling costs.

Where these numbers come from

Of the 12 inputs behind this analysis, 5 trace to evidence (our listing feed, area comps, county records); 3 are standing conventions; 3 are derived from other inputs.

  • Purchase price: our listing feed · single source
  • Rent while you live in one unit: area rent comps and research bands · single source
  • Rent after you move out: derived from other inputs here · single source
  • The rent you would pay on the never-buy path: area rent comps and research bands · single source
  • Property tax rate: our listing feed · single source
  • Unit count: county assessor records · single source

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