Example Calculation
Let's analyze a real estate purchase in Maryland.
Purchasing a 3-bedroom home for $375,000 with 20% down ($75,000). Closing costs at 3%: $11,250. Home inspection: $450. Total cash needed: approximately $86,700. Monthly mortgage (P&I at 6.75%, 30-year): $1,946. Add property taxes (~$310/month), insurance (~$150/month), and maintenance reserve (~$310/month). Total monthly cost: approximately $2,716.
Result: Total cash to close: $86,700. Monthly carrying cost: $2,716. If the home appreciates 3% annually, it gains $11,250 in year 1 — a 13% return on the $86,700 invested (leveraged return). Over 30 years with 3% appreciation, the home is worth $910K and the mortgage is paid off — $835K in equity from $86,700 invested. That's the power of leveraged real estate.
