1. What is Rent Estimation?

Rent estimation calculates a fair rental price by comparing similar properties in the same area, adjusting for differences in features and amenities.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the average of comparable rents with adjustments:

\[ \text{Rent Estimate} = \frac{\sum(\text{Comparable House Rents})}{\text{Number of Comparables}} + \text{Feature Adjustments}} \]

Where:

Comparable House Rents — Rental prices of similar properties in the area
Feature Adjustments — Value added or subtracted for differences in features (square footage, amenities, etc.)

3. Importance of Rent Estimation

Details: Accurate rent estimation helps landlords price competitively and helps tenants evaluate fair market value. Proper pricing reduces vacancy periods and maximizes returns.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter at least 2 comparable rents (3 for better accuracy). Include positive adjustments for superior features (new appliances, parking) or negative for inferior ones.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How many comparables should I use?
A: At least 3 comparable properties within 1 mile and similar size (within 10%) is ideal for accurate estimation.

Q2: What features should I adjust for?
A: Common adjustments include square footage ($2-5/sqft difference), parking ($50-200/month), laundry, and recent renovations.

Q3: How recent should comparable data be?
A: Ideally within 3-6 months. Older data may not reflect current market conditions.

Q4: Should I use asking or actual rents?
A: Actual rented prices are best. Asking prices may be inflated and don't reflect what tenants actually pay.

Q5: How does location factor in?
A: Location is critical. Adjust for proximity to amenities, schools, and transportation. Even small distance differences can significantly impact value.
