From Spreadsheet Chaos to Clarity
A tool born from personal frustration
The Breaking Point
When I started looking at my first property investment, I faced the same wall everyone hits: how do I actually compare my options? Should I buy a house or land? What if I save a bigger deposit? Is paying LMI worth it to enter the market sooner? Every question spawned ten more.
Endless Spreadsheets
I built spreadsheet after spreadsheet. Loan calculators. Tax benefit models. Rental yield projections. But they were fragile, error-prone, and exhausting to maintain. Changing one assumption meant hours of recalculating. And I'm a developer—I can't imagine what this is like for everyone else.
The Realization
If I—someone who builds software for a living—was struggling this much, what about first-time buyers, parents juggling work and family, or anyone without a finance background? They deserve a tool that just works.
That's why I built HomeLens. Not as another basic calculator, but as a comprehensive modeling tool that respects your time, protects your privacy, and gives you confidence in one of life's biggest decisions.
