Real Estate
The six property decisions most people make blind: buy vs. rent, first-time landlord, house hacking, downsizing, out-of-state investing, house-poor checks.
About the archetypes
Property decisions have long feedback loops and enormous downside if you get them wrong. The real estate quizzes here sort you across six of them: buy versus rent, first-time landlord, house hacking, downsizing, out-of-state investing, and the harder-to-name "am I already house-poor and haven't admitted it."
The archetypes are mostly practical warnings dressed up as personality types. The Hands-Off Investor should not be a landlord. The House Hack Fit should not be waiting for the perfect duplex. Most people know the honest answer already and want confirmation. That's fine — this is where you get it.
