Scenario #1: Fixed Rate Mortgage • $300,000 Home • Down Payment: $30000 • 5.70% Fixed Rate • 30 years of paying the same payment - $18990/year
Scenario #2: Interest Only Option • Same as Scenario #1 except: • First 10 Years –Interest Only – $15390/year • Last 20 Years – Fixed Rate Loan - $22970/year
Constants in Scenarios • Fixed Output – Minimize Input • Salary is estimated to be $55k/year + 3% each year for tax calculation • Assuming house averages 9%/year return average over 30 years. • House Future Value = ~ 4 Million. • Tax breaks according to current federal law
Tax Breaks • Incremental Tax Structure • Taxable Income<$7500 a year • 10% Tax • $7500<Taxable Income<$29700 • $750 plus 15% over $7500 • … and so on. • Mortgage Loan Interest Tax Break • Taxable Income = Income – Interest On Mortgage • More Income Means Better Mortgage Tax Break
