Property investment analysis.
The Real Estate Calculator estimates the full monthly cost of buying and holding a home — mortgage payment, property tax, insurance, and optional HOA fees — plus loan totals over time.
Standard mortgage amortization plus prorated tax and insurance. Add HOA to see true monthly housing cost.
PITI = Principal & Interest + Tax/12 + Insurance/12 + HOAA $500,000 home with 20% down at 6.75% for 30 years, 1.2% tax and 0.5% insurance costs about $3,300 monthly PITI.
2–5% of the loan for buyers (origination, title, taxes, prepaids). Sellers usually pay 6–10% including agent commissions.
A common rule is housing (PITI) at or below 28% of gross monthly income, total debt at or below 36%.
20% removes PMI. Beyond that, lower cash out for down payment may be worth more invested in the market than the mortgage interest saved.
