The 4 Decisions That Actually Matter
Most buyers focus on rate. These four factors actually determine whether your mortgage works for your life.
Payment Comfort
Your monthly payment across multiple scenarios with different down payments, terms, and rate options.
Key trade-off: Lower payment now often means higher total cost over time.
Total Cost Over Time
What you actually pay at 1, 5, and 10 years across each scenario.
Key trade-off: The lowest monthly payment is rarely the lowest total cost.
Cash Flexibility
How much cash you preserve after closing and how each option affects your emergency buffer.
Key trade-off: Putting more down reduces your payment but can leave you cash-vulnerable.
Future Optionality
How easily each scenario allows you to refinance, sell, or pay off early.
Key trade-off: Locking into the lowest rate sometimes limits your ability to adapt.

Who This Isn't For
I'd rather be upfront about fit than waste your time.
Those who only want the absolute lowest rate with no context
Those who have already decided and just need execution
Those who want to be told what to do without understanding the trade-offs
Those who need approval in 48 hours (decision quality takes a little more time)
