What it covers

Four ways to hold a home, plus its flood risk

The specialist part

Section 8 rent from the housing authority's own schedule

The voucher pays the authority's payment standard minus its utility allowance. Here is that sum for a 3-bedroom house in Cleveland's ZIP 44105 today, read live from the data behind every analysis. It is a different home and ZIP from the example above (44118), so its rent differs.

How it works

From an address to four answers you can check

  1. 1Step 1 of 4

    Your inputs

    An address and a price. Add rent, ARV, comps or loan terms when you have them; each stays marked as yours.

  2. 2Step 2 of 4

    Public data

    Voucher payment standards and utility allowances, area rent and tax rate, the flood zone, and this week's mortgage rate.

  3. 3Step 3 of 4

    Four strategies

    The home is worked out four ways on the same assumptions, so the comparison is like for like.

    Sources and confidence

    Every number shows Verified or Estimated, its source link, its effective date and where it came from.

Every number says where it sits

The public records behind every number

Named as sources, never as endorsements.

  • Housing authorities

    Payment standards and utility allowances, from each authority's own schedule. The Verified figures.

  • HUD

    Fair Market Rents and Small Area FMRs, for an Estimated voucher rent where a schedule is not captured yet.

  • Census ACS

    Median rent by bedrooms and the property tax rate for the ZIP, from the 5-year survey.

  • Census Geocoder

    The address matched to its ZIP, census tract and map point.

  • FEMA NFHL

    The flood zone and map panel at that point, from the National Flood Hazard Layer.

  • FRED

    The weekly 30-year fixed mortgage rate, Freddie Mac's survey (MORTGAGE30US).

  • No listings. We do not list or sell homes; you bring the address and price.

  • No automated valuation. We do not guess what a home is worth.

  • No promises. No returns, tenants or voucher approvals are promised. Confirm with the housing authority before buying.

Questions

Before you start

Is the example home for sale?

The address is real: a HUD-owned home from HUD's public list. The prices, after-repair value and rehab budget are example inputs, not a listing, an offer or a sale.

Do you estimate what a home is worth?

No. There is no automated valuation. You bring the price, and for a flip the after-repair value or the comps behind it. We work out what follows from those numbers.

What does Verified mean?

The figure was read from a housing authority's own published payment standard or utility allowance schedule, and it links to that document with its effective date. Everything else is Estimated, with its method named.

Will a voucher holder rent my property?

Nobody can promise that. The housing authority inspects the home, checks the rent against similar units, and the tenant chooses. Confirm with the authority before buying.

Which assistants work with it?

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Muse and code editors such as Claude Code, VS Code and Cursor connect over MCP. Other agents and your own scripts use the REST API with an API key.

What does it cost?

New accounts get 14 days of Pro with no card, then Free until you choose a plan. Paid plans start at $29 a month.

Run the numbers on the next home you look at.

An address and a price is enough to start.
