Strategic relocation, smarter mortgage decisions.
The Petersons face a complex decision involving a significant lifestyle change, including selling their New York home, purchasing a new property in Florida, and navigating differing state tax laws. They are unsure if paying for mortgage points is a worthwhile investment given their potential relocation timeline and overall financial goals. New York has high taxes and Florida has low taxes, making the financial situation more complex.
Using the Mortgage Points Calculator, we determined the break-even point for purchasing points on their new Florida mortgage. By analyzing the interest rate reduction against the upfront cost of the points, we found that holding the mortgage for at least 7 years would be necessary to recoup the cost. Given their estimated timeframe, we advised against purchasing the points initially, saving them approximately $5,000 upfront. Coupled with the Tax Equivalent Yield calculator, we showed them the real tax benefit of relocating to Florida, saving them an additional $30,000 annually.
The Mortgage Points Calculator allowed for adjustable inputs like loan amount, interest rate, point cost, and monthly payments to calculate the break-even point. The Tax Equivalent Yield calculator helped illustrate the after-tax savings of relocating to a lower-tax state.
