1. Property & Loan Basics
Core numbers used across all scenarios.
Loan payoff is the amount needed to pay off the mortgage today. Annual paydown is a rough estimate
of how much principal you pay off each year if you keep the loan.
2. Selling Costs
Used for all net sheets, now and in the future.
Other costs might include staging, minor touch-ups, HOA transfer fees, etc.
3. Timing: Sell Now or Wait?
Compare selling today vs holding the home and selling later.
Monthly carrying cost can include mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA, and basic utilities while you
still own the home.
4. Rent-Out Scenario (Accidental Landlord)
Compare selling vs renting the home for a period, then selling.
Landlord expenses can include mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA, maintenance, management, and reserves.
This scenario assumes you eventually sell at the end of the rent period.
