Calculators on this site
Rent-by-the-room calculator
Compares renting a house by the room against renting it to one tenant, using my four walk-away numbers. Start here if you are deciding whether a house is worth a closer look.
PadSplit fee calculator
Shows what PadSplit's fee really costs you, based on your room rent and how long members stay.
Other tools I use
AgenticREI
A deal analyzer I built. Type in an address and it pulls the property records, the listing status, and an estimated whole-house rent, then runs the house through six strategies, rent by the room included. The first three analyses are free. It does not replace room comps for that zip code.
HUD Fair Market Rents
The government's yearly rent figures for every metro, studio through four bedrooms. A useful floor when you sanity-check a whole-house rent.
Zillow research data
Free downloads of home values and rents by city and metro. The city pages on this site use them.
