Unit count: unverified

A single source states 4 units; no independent record corroborates it. Treat the count as a claim, not a verified fact; every number on this page rides on it.

## 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**: our listing feed · sources disagree
-   **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**: an unclassified source · no independent witness
-   **Property tax rate**: local rent regulation · single source
-   **Unit count**: our listing feed · 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.

## What we could not verify

-   How far these numbers could move: we run that spread only for the eight strongest properties in each ZIP, and this one was not among them. The cautious numbers above are the only ones we have for it.

 Members on a paid plan can request verification.
