02The calculator

Slide the numbers around. Everything updates live — principal and interest, taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance, HOA. Nothing you enter here is stored or sent anywhere.

Try one:

Defaults are sample figures for a typical Chicago-area purchase. Property taxes vary widely across Cook and the collar counties — and a condo adds HOA dues — so Mike will pull the real numbers for any address.

Estimated monthly payment

Sample estimate · not a quote

  • Principal & interest
  • Property taxes
  • Homeowners insurance
  • Mortgage insurance (PMI)
  • HOA dues

Under 20% down, so a sample PMI estimate (0.5%/yr) is included. It drops off a conventional loan at 20% equity.

Down payment cash

What the calculator can't know

Closing costs, assistance, and the real cash to close.

A payment is half the picture. Closing costs, prepaid taxes and insurance, seller credits, and IHDA assistance all change what you actually bring to the table. That number is a five-minute text.

Calculator results are estimates for illustrative and educational purposes only, are not a quote, rate lock, pre-qualification or pre-approval, and accuracy is not guaranteed. Actual rates, payments, taxes, insurance and mortgage insurance vary by scenario. Contact Mike for figures specific to your situation.

Address and price is all he needs. You'll get the full monthly payment and cash to close back fast — usually within ten minutes on offer day.
