The problem it solves

You want your budget to reflect what your property is actually worth, but manually looking up and updating that value is easy to forget. Over time your net worth tracking drifts further from reality. You want it kept current without doing the lookup yourself.

Who it fits

A homeowner tracking their net worth in a budgeting app.

How it works

  1. Runs on the schedule or trigger you set
  2. Looks up your property's estimated market value
  3. Updates the matching asset in your budgeting app
  4. Sends you a Discord alert confirming the new value
What you get

A budget that reflects your home's real value

Your property's estimated market value gets pulled and updated in your budget automatically, with a quick alert to confirm it.

What you get

An updated asset value in your budget and a confirmation alert.

What you need

A Rentcast.io account, a YNAB account, and a Discord account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
