Investment Tips

A quick primer on how to read RooFork outputs and apply them to buying or renting decisions.

Track rent and appreciation together

Blend rent velocity with appreciation to spot neighborhoods where both cash flow and equity growth move in the right direction.

Reinvest the rent delta

If renting is cheaper than owning today, stash the savings into a diversified portfolio. The calculator models this compounding effect automatically.

Stress-test the assumptions

Adjust property taxes, insurance, and maintenance sliders to understand break-even points before you commit.
