Two free calculators every Santa Cruz and Santa Clara County landlord should run before signing a lease — or signing with a property manager.
Pick your city, property type, and bedrooms. We'll show you an instant ballpark range based on current market data for Santa Cruz County and Santa Clara County.
This tool gives you a market range. A full rental analysis — included free with any owner consultation — uses comparable properties within a quarter-mile of your address, accounts for upgrades, and gives you a recommended list rent and projected days-on-market.
A free rental analysis pulls live comps within a quarter-mile of your address, accounts for upgrades, and gives you a recommended list rent — usually back within 2 business days.
Most owners think self-managing saves them money. Run your numbers honestly — vacancy time, hours per month, late-payment losses, eviction risk, the value of your own time — and compare.
This is a model, not a quote. Real Solaris fees depend on the property and service tier — but the underlying math (vacancy cost, time cost, screening cost) is the same whether you self-manage or hire us.
Assumptions: average leasing/marketing cost (self-managed) of $400 per placement (photos, listings, screening services). Eviction average cost $4,500 (court, lost rent, legal). Adjust the inputs above to match your situation.
A free rental analysis turns these estimates into a real, address-specific recommendation with comps, days-on-market projections, and a recommended list rent.
