County-level tax data, all 50 states

The listing says 4 beds and good bones. Mortar says $340 a month after the mortgage, the taxes, and the quiet costs the listing leaves out.

The math talks

The verdict, line by line.

Every number Mortar uses is on the card: the rent, the real county tax bill, and the reserves most listings ignore. When the month nets out, the stamp comes down.

Numbers you can audit. AI never does the arithmetic.

Deterministic formulas compute every metric and the verdict. AI is only allowed to estimate rent when the listing has none, and it says so when it does.

How Mortar Works
When a listing shows Zillow's Rent Zestimate, Mortar uses that. When it doesn't, Mortar falls back to an AI estimate based on the property's size, location, and details. You can always edit the rent to your own number.
