I am looking for an electronic tool that helps answer the question: "Given all the relevant economic variables, does it make sense to payoff a mortgage early?" The tool enables 'what-if' analysis and takes into account such variables as interest rate, projected ROI for market investments, tax bracket etc. |

There is no answer at this time. |

I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question. Your question assumes there might be a reason to NOT pay off a home early. I'm curious. Why would one NOT want to pay off a home early? -JtB |

You might want to do a Google search under: intrinsic value of house "gary smith" Smith wrote a program that calculates the intrinsic value of a house as an investment. It takes into consideration cash flow, internal cash flow, tax brackets, interest deductions, rent vs. purchase, and so on. In the returns on his program you will see a point at which your return on investment (given all of the above and more) will become less than a fixed investment in, say bonds or stocks. At that point it pays to rearrange your investment priorities, pay off the mortgage, or refinance and invest elsewhere. Also, given the conditions in certain markets like San Diego, San Francisco, Manhattan, etc., it actually pays to rent rather than own, which is detailed in his writings and software. P.S. I believe that whomever runs the web site www.interest.com has purchased a license to his program. They have a free online version at their site. |
