st. 01Rental deal analyzer
0.63%
median rent-to-price in 76179. The 1% rule does not survive that number here

Underwrite a deal like a lender instead: cash flow after real reserves, cap rate, cash-on-cash, DSCR, break-even occupancy. Runs entirely in your browser and never counts appreciation.

st. 02USDA build checker
84.7%
of Tarrant County sits outside USDA $0-down eligibility

The $0-down USDA construction loan is real, but most of the county is drawn out of the map, parcel by parcel. Check whether a specific lot sits inside it.

st. 03Property tax estimator
2.2–2.6%
combined-rate band across Tarrant taxing stacks, the part of the payment nobody prices in

Pulls the real appraised value from Tarrant Appraisal District and shows an honest band, city and school district dependent, never a fake-precise quote.

29%
of NFIP flood claims, nationwide, came from OUTSIDE high-risk zones

Run any address against the live FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. See the zone letter and what it means for the flood insurance a lender will require.

st. 05VA loan fit
2.15%
VA funding fee, first use, $0 down. Statutory, charged on the loan amount

st. 06PCS rent-vs-sell calculator
280,000
service members PCS every year, and most run this decision on napkin math

Orders in hand? Rent the house out or sell it, run with real reserves in the math (vacancy, management, maintenance, leasing), not the version that lies.

st. 07Portfolio stress test
$2,235
median single-family rent in 76179, the benchmark your rentals get graded against

Landlords: punch in a few numbers and see where your rentals are quietly leaking money (rent gap, vacancy drag, fees) against live NW Tarrant benchmarks. About a minute, no pitch.
