It isn't trying to imply tht you could buy the rental unit in your example for under market value, so in a sense it is stating the obvious - you can rent or buy and if you want to consider buying, you can afford a $322,000 mortgage for the same monthly outlay of $2,100 per month all else being equal. I noticed that you depicted an old copy of the site. We are in the process of re-launching RentSlicer (a new Alpha version went up a couple of weeks ago) with new features, markets, etc, and we are totally open to suggestions on how to improve the user experience and appreciate your input. If you'd like to set up a call to discuss the new site and give your input one-on-one, we'd be happy to do so.
