Audited planning profile
This freelance one-time profile applies a 1.5× editable baseline across 1 model period to the house purchase compare model.
Use the difference between option A and option B; keep the scale and horizon identical for both. Separate personal and business costs, unpaid time and tax reserves. Include setup, transaction and end-of-use costs in a one-time decision.
Lender underwriting, local taxes, legal fees, insurance terms, maintenance shocks and future property values are not inferred.
Reconcile the result with a lender quote, contract terms and a local closing-cost estimate.
