Home Affordability Calculations

These calculations utilize the Fannie Mae multifamily home loan program to put a 5% down payment for a 30 year fixed mortgage at a 6.5% interest rate (rates subject to market conditions) on a triplex property.

Home Price

The total down payment available is calculated by multiplying the down payment amount by the total number of co-buyers in the group. The home price is then calculated by dividing the total down payment amount by 0.05 to simulate a 5% down payment. If the amount is greater than the max triplex loan limit of $1,033,000 then that limit amount is used. Higher loan limits do exist for quadplexes.

Equity Growth

The equity growth is calculated by dividing the pro rata projected equity value in the home in 5 years by each member’s down payment amount. The projected 5 year equity value factors in the home locality’s forecasted appreciation along with the principal contribution portion of each monthly mortgage payment. The return is significantly higher than the projected appreciation of the home because it is calculated relative to the down payment amount, which makes for a more accurate measure of return on initial investment.

Monthly Cost

The monthly cost is calculated by subtracting the monthly mortgage amount from the city's projected median rent for a 3 bed unit, and dividing by the group size. This assumes one unit is occupied by the buyer and the remainder are rented out.
