Wouldn't it be more accurate to take into account the 250k per person capital gains exemption on real estate. And shouldn't current rent be taken into account adjusted for inflation over time and counted as an opportunity cost to paying a mortgage payment. I would like more information on a version of this that I could use on my web page, Thank you, Brian I really like what you’ve done here however I have a few questions.

"is this a good investment?" over and over. I agree with #7, the layout and descriptions makes this tool very nice for Joe consumer. We did something similar (although does not factor tax info).

Kirill, full credit to you for providing the information in a narrative form (instead of just tables with numbers) so anyone can make sense of it all pretty quickly.

Similar to the mortgage audit software I use to check my statements (it does the narrative thing with the rapid payout plans):

“To pay-off this loan in a total of 25.00 years and save approximately 32,110.56 in interest, the weekly repayments must be increased by $9.87 (to $180.64) for the next 23.95 years.�

Sooooo much better than a pile of numbers. More “geeks� should realize this ;-)

I liked it. It gave alot of information and I used my own home facts, which the evaluations that were provided were pretty right on. I liked the fact how you can see what your actual cost would be in 5,10 or 20 years. I will be playing more!. Thanks! I was playing with it this morning. I liked it.
