1) "Carwoo for mortgages" I like it. LendingTree is analogous to TrueCar in this situation.

Except in my experience, Carwoo doesn't work (and just ends up like what incision said for #1 above).

Interesting - I wonder if it's your location. I used it a few months ago (I'm in NJ) and it worked great. Price was way under TrueCar, and going into the dealer was horrible. Only downside was I had to drive an hour away to get the car but was in and out in 30 minutes.
2.) Anything to simplify / make comprehensible the mountain of paperwork that accompanies every transaction around mortgages.
3.) Online payment services for rent, HOA fees and whatnot that aren't painful to use. As a rule, the existing services for this are expensive, ugly and dangerously unreliable.
4.) Home / Apartment search that does more than just dump information on you.
The typical search offers little more than a price range and a zipcode.
I want to be able to provide your search with info about what I do for a living, how old my kids are perhaps a few things that are important to me and get recommendations that consider all of these things.
I don't need to be told about the options in the places I know about it. I need it to reveal the ones I haven't considered.
