As CRE intelligence platforms become more advanced, property owners are asking: can data tools alone support HUD-compliant rent strategies for Section 8 properties?

In this episode of The Weekly Brief: MarketRent™ powered by Clarendon, we explore where automation supports PBS8 Rent Comparability Studies and where human insight remains essential. We break down the real-world limits of automation, the critical role of service valuation, and how strategic submission timing can change rent outcomes.

Key themes:

• Where CRE data tools help, and where they fall short

• Why PBS8 properties require judgment beyond algorithmic comps

• The value of professional interpretation in SAFMR alignment and non-shelter service documentation

• Real case insights from Clarendon’s national RCS portfolio
