Score applies proven stock and bond rating analytics to the most comprehensive base of real estate attributes ever assembled. It gives buyers an easy and intuitive way to assess if a property is really worth buying. Properties are rated two ways: a “growth” score for risk-tolerant investors seeking above-average capital appreciation and an “income” score for risk-averse investors seeking monthly cash flow.
