Thinking of buying real estate? Want to know what you can afford? How much will a house payment be if interest rates rise? And later, is a refinance worth it? This free Real Estate Calculator can answer those questions. You’ll be able to see the monthly interest and principal over time, as well as the deltas between options. You’ll find it useful before buying and, as an owner, to evaluate changes before committing to new loan terms. The ins and outs of buying and owning real estate are covered in “What Would Dad Do? Volume 1 - The Early Years.”

Requires the Excel, LibreOffice, or OpenOffice application. The spreadsheet-formatted files are provided at the download link emailed after checkout.
