Explanation
A positive/negative Home Purchase Benefit indicates the financial advantage/disadvantage of owning your own home. Various intangible factors can be analyzed in this decision such as relocation possibilities, pride of ownership, improved lifestyle, etc.

These calculations are only estimates and can only be used to evaluate the possible results of consolidating certain debts into an equity loan. Refinancing or taking out a home equity loan or line of credit may increase the total number of monthly payments and the total amount paid when comparing to your current situation. Please consult your tax advisor for information on the deductibility if interest for tax purposes.
