Market screens are research starting points, not promised returns or investment recommendations. Property-level rent, costs, restrictions and financing require verification.
Gross rent-to-price screen = annualized whole-home three-bedroom asking rent ÷ median sale price. It excludes vacancy, operating costs and debt service, so it is not a cap rate or promised return. Every market observation is dated and linked to its source.
