This project entails evaluating two scenarios for a 23-year-old engineering graduate with a starting salary of $60,000 who wants to buy a $500,000 house. Scenario One involves renting an apartment for five years before purchasing a house and paying off the mortgage in 30 years, while Scenario Two extends the renting period to ten years and pays off the mortgage in 25 years. By analyzing personal experiences, market prices, textbook resources, and consulting a bank representative, the project aims to determine the most financially viable option based on the goal of paying off the house in 35 years and saving 15% of income for a down payment at a 7% interest rate.
