What will it really take to truly have equity in your home?

Run the numbers on the biggest purchase of your life!

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE!

Take a tour of the CALCULATOR!

A $699,000 home on Cape Cod actually costs nearly $2M over a 30 year mortgage term. But if you rented and invested the difference? Your portfolio would be worth nearly $3 million!


YOU HAVE TO RUN THE NUMBERS!!!!

We are force fed homeownership in the US - but in the current market (at least in 2025) the numbers may not favor buying. So look at the math - and decide for yourself!

Case Studies: 

A $575,000 condo in Chicago actually costs $1.7M over a 30 year mortgage term. If you rented and invested the difference? Your portfolio would be worth over $1.2M!

In Pittsburgh - recently named the most affordable city in the US to buy - the math makes more sense! A $335,000 condo costs $1M over a 30 yer mortgage term, but renting and investing the difference only gets you to about $600k over the same time period. 

And these are just 3 of thousands of examples. Only you can decide - but you HAVE TO RUN THE NUMBERS!!!

are you financially ready to purchase a home? 

Ask yourself:

Can I comfortably afford a 20% down payment and 3x the monthly mortgage payment?

Easily calculate your annual savings target to easily build that into your budget .

Does this purchase make sense for both my career and my life?

Am I planning to stay in this same area for at least 5 years?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHY BUYING ISN'T ALWAYS "BETTER"

Discourse around renting vs. buying has always been: "renting is throwing money away." But why? Why do we forget about all the sunk costs related to buying, like interest on a mortgage, maintenence, home insurance, and HOA? These are costs that are not directly tied to equity in your home. 

There is no "right" answer to the rent vs. buy question. In some cases, renting makes more sense. But in others, buying makes more sense. And it doesn't always have to do with just the financial math. But using the term "equity" as a blanket reason to purchase a home no longer makes sense.
