The roommate math nobody shows you

A matched 2-bedroom here runs about $2,042 a month to own on the homes the engine actually matches here, typically around $276,317. Split two ways, that is about $1,021 per person. Qualifying for the same home solo takes roughly $68,000 a year at the standard 36 percent lender cap: rent splits between people, a mortgage qualification does not.

Innsbrook by the count

How these numbers are computed

Every figure comes from the same engine that powers the LeaseLens comparison, run over live inventory in 23060: rent medians from active rental listings, ownership costs from the engine's top-matched-homes construction, and the crossover year from its 30-year net worth projection. The reference buyer is a solo renter with good credit, a $100k income, 20 percent down, and cash covering the close. Your own lease and finances will move every number, which is what the full comparison is for.
