Rent vs. Buy Advisor
Should you rent or buy? Not a simple calculator — a full financial model that accounts for opportunity cost, tax deductions that shrink over time, PMI drop-off, repair reserves, and your actual life stage. Gives you a real answer, not a hedge.

Where Should I Buy?
Tell me what matters — commute, walkability, vibe, lifestyle, budget — and I'll score every ZIP in the DMV market against your priorities. Find neighborhoods you didn't know existed and see how they compare on the dimensions that actually matter to you.

Why These Exist
Most real estate tools online are built to capture leads. They give you a simplistic answer, then ask for your email. These are built to give you the most honest analysis I can, whether or not it leads to a transaction. If renting is the better move, the tool will tell you that.
Use them. If the answer raises questions, reach out.
