Loan Comparison: What's Inside the Report

The Loan Compare Report provides you two tabs:  Overview and Loan Details.

Overview Tab

1. Loans will be ranked from first to last in three distinct categories: 
   • Lowest monthly payment
   • Lowest total cash to close
   • Lowest cost over time

2. The Lowest Cost Loan Snapshot will show you which loan will cost your customer the least amount of money over time. The importance of this data will depend on how long your client plans on owning the home.

3. The Estimated Home Value Appreciation shows what the forecasted value of the home is going to be over the next 15 years. 

4. The Equity Snapshot breaks down the total amount of home equity your customer will have as the years go on. This is broken down in principal paid and total property appreciation for each loan. Adjust the slider to see the total amount of equity gained over a 30 year period, year by year. 

Loan Details Tab

The Loan Details tab presents you with an in-depth comparison of each loan option including loan amount, rate, points, closing cost and much more. To review your loan options within the Loan Details tab, follow the steps below:

1. Adjust the slider to reflect the amount of time your customer plans on staying in the home. Estimates in your breakdown will be based on the amount of years selected.
