Audited planning profile
This shared half-year profile applies a 3× editable baseline across 6 model periods to the long-term rental compare model.
Use the difference between option A and option B; keep the scale and horizon identical for both. Define a consistent allocation rule so shared usage is not counted twice. Review the assumptions midway because prices and usage may already have changed.
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.
