Home Buying Planner

Move from affordability to cash needed, mortgage cost, and rent-versus-buy review.

Rent-versus-buy now transfers the loan term, closing cost, tax, insurance, HOA and extra-payment assumptions. It compares terminal wealth with equal upfront capital and monthly resources. Nominal returns are scenarios; mortgage insurance, investment taxes and personal preferences are excluded. Qualified review is pending.
