The toolbox

Tools that do their math for you.

Seven free calculators, no sign-up, nothing leaves your phone. The leasing office and the sales office each have a spreadsheet; now so do you.

The pocket-match quiz

Eight questions, scored against every pocket profile — your starting shortlist.

Net-Effective Rent Calculator

Turn an advertised rent plus weeks-free special into the number you'll actually pay per month.

Weeks-Free Value Calculator

What a weeks-free special is worth in dollars — and per month over your lease.

Rent-vs-Buy Napkin

The Texas napkin: every $850/month of housing payment supports roughly $100,000 of house, taxes and insurance included. See what your rent maps to.

Income Requirement Checker

Most communities require gross income at 2.5–3x rent. Check where you stand before paying an application fee.

True Move-In Cost Calculator

Deposit, fees, first month, prorate — the check you'll actually write to get keys.

Buydown vs. Price-Cut Comparator

A builder offers a rate buydown or a price reduction. Roughly compare the monthly effect of each before you choose.

MUD/PID Payment Impact Calculator

See what an added MUD or PID assessment does to a monthly payment — the number sales-office estimates sometimes omit.
