Important: a model, not a forecast

This is a model, not a forecast. The numbers shown are calculated from the inputs and assumptions you enter — home price, rent, appreciation, investment return, ownership costs, time horizon, and others. Real-world outcomes vary substantially: home prices, rents, interest rates, taxes, maintenance, market returns, and your personal circumstances all change in ways no calculator can predict. Net worth and break-even results are best treated as a directional comparison under your assumptions, not a guarantee. This tool is for general information only and is not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice — consult a qualified professional before making a decision.
