Capabilities

What the engine computes

Rent Delta Analysis

Compare asking rents against HUD Fair Market Rents, Census median rents, and Zillow ZORI benchmarks — by bedroom type.

Affordability Engine

Walk local income distribution brackets to compute what share of renter households can actually afford current asking rents.

Subsidy Alignment

Assess whether rents fall within voucher-supported payment standards and quantify the government-backed demand floor.

Mispricing Detection

Weighted scoring across HUD, Census, ZORI, and affordability thresholds to identify underpriced assets and overpriced risk.

7-Score Framework

Rent Lift, Affordability Support, Subsidy Support, Compression Risk, Demand Durability, Market Stability, Composite Score.

Geographic Intelligence

ZIP, tract, county, and MSA resolution with Small Area FMR support and neighboring market comparison.

Sample Output

What the report tells you

Current 2BR rents are 22% below HUD-supported benchmarks, suggesting immediate rent lift potential.

Asking rents are 14% above affordability-adjusted support levels, indicating elevated leasing friction risk.

Tenant income distribution suggests strong qualification alignment for subsidy-supported occupancy.

This ZIP code appears mispriced relative to both voucher economics and household rent capacity.

Verdicts

Every report ends with a verdict

STRONG RENT ARBITRAGE

Material underpricing with credible lift potential.

MODERATE LIFT + PROTECTION

Below-benchmark rents with defensible downside floor.

SUBSIDY-SUPPORTED DEFENSIVE

Voucher-aligned rents with government-backed demand.

FAIRLY PRICED

Rents aligned with local benchmarks. Limited arbitrage.

COMPRESSION RISK

Rents exceed affordability capacity. Leasing friction expected.

AGGRESSIVE UNDERWRITING

Pro forma exceeds supportable thresholds. Proceed with caution.
