Read rental comps into an achievable rent range (not a sale CMA)
Rung 2 of 10 · Comparison matrix
1 · Learn the move · Comparison matrix
A sale CMA prices a home to sell; it says nothing about what a unit will RENT for. Rent comes from RENTAL comps, and the honest answer is a range, not a single number. The comparison matrix lines your pasted rental comps up against the subject unit on the same rows, notes only the differences you actually gave it, and lands on a low-to-high range with each end tied to a named comp. The trap is letting AI 'estimate market rent' as one confident figure it pulled from nowhere. Rent is a range you defend with comps, never an invented point.
Build a rental-comp matrix from ONLY my pasted comps. Same rows as the subject unit, note just the differences I gave you, and output an achievable rent RANGE with which comp sets each end. Invent no rent and no comp; mark gaps UNKNOWN. This is a rental read, not a sale CMA, and DIRECTIONAL to verify.
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You're helping a client size up the rentable unit in a duplex. The subject unit is a 2-bed/1-bath, ~850 sqft, no in-unit laundry. Three pasted rental comps: A) 2/1, 820 sqft, in-unit laundry, $1,750; B) 2/1, 900 sqft, no laundry, $1,600; C) 3/1, 950 sqft, no laundry, $1,850. Write a prompt that reads these into an achievable rent range for the subject without inventing a single 'market rent' number.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
