Plan · the next ten years

A four-bedroom on the ocean block in Surf CityStarts from the calculator’s model for 2027.

by 2036, base case

$75,143

Over ten years the house would return about $75,143, and between −⁠$774,985 and $778,293 depending on rents, costs and the market.

In the base case that is on what you could sell for today: cash collected, plus the loan paid down and the rise in value. Before income tax.

Three cases

The base case uses the growth rates in your report. The low case has slow rents, faster costs, steep insurance and flat prices; the high case the reverse.

Cash collected plus the growth in what you own of the house, counted from today. The all in line starts at zero.

The detail

Open any of these for the figures behind the answer.

A year’s change in each driver.

Growth rates by case
Driver	Low	Base	High
Rent	1.0%	2.5%	4.0%
The bills	4.0%	3.0%	3.0%
Insurance	10.0%	7.0%	3.0%
Value	1.0%	4.0%	6.0%

Estimates. Shore insurance has risen faster than other costs; the low case assumes it keeps doing so. The loan is paid down on its schedule in every case.

Cash each year after every bill and the mortgage; what you own is the value less the loan.
