There are few real estate questions that can"t be answered with "Do the math." Problem is, if you don"t have a Texas Instruments real estate calculator, you"re lost. Even if you did have one of TI"s trusty, but bulky blocks of number keys, you wouldn"t know how to use it. You also don"t want to call your friendly neighborhood real estate agent every time you"ve got to crunch some numbers. Nolo.com, the Berkeley-based, self-help publisher has taken the guesswork of real estate calculations with a Web-based uite of new calculators for real estate consumers.
