Rent-vs-Buy Break-Even
How long until buying beats renting — for this exact home?
Using the real value, estimated rent, and the actual property-tax bill for the address, find the break-even year where owning comes out ahead of renting.
- ✓The break-even year
- ✓Real per-address tax, not an average
- ✓Owning vs. renting costs compared
Every number is labeled and sourced.
No unlabeled figures. Every number on this report traces to a named source, anything assumed is flagged, and where AI fills a gap it says so — right next to the number.
Every figure carries its source
Each number is tagged with where it came from — a licensed property record, a named government dataset (Census, NCES, FEMA, HUD, FBI), or your own data — along with its vintage. Confidence measures how consistent those sources are, not a promise of truth.
Where your unit's inputs came from
When the report reads your unit's beds, baths, square footage, or type, each one is tagged — and if RentCast and ATTOM disagree, it shows both values and which it used, never quietly picking a side.
AI is always disclosed
Where AI fills a gap — like market references in a thin market — it's clearly labeled “AI-estimated” and never passed off as real data. Every report is advisory, not an appraisal.
