Cash to close

What you bring to the table
Show the math

Estimate. Your exact cash to close is itemized on your official Loan Estimate, then finalized on your Closing Disclosure. Down payment, closing costs, and prepaids vary by program, lender, and transaction.

2-1 buydown

A lower payment for the first two years
First-two-year savings (often seller- or builder-paid)
Show the math

A 2-1 buydown temporarily reduces your rate — 2% lower in year one, 1% lower in year two — then it returns to the note rate for the rest of the term. You still qualify based on the full note rate. The buydown cost shown is frequently covered by the seller or builder, but that's negotiated per transaction and is not guaranteed.

Rent vs. buy

Monthly cost & the equity you keep
Rent
vs
Buy (total)

Show the math

Equity figures count only the principal you pay down — real, scheduled, and verifiable. They exclude any change in the home's value and any tax effects, which depend on the market and your situation and should be discussed with your tax and real-estate advisors.
