This calculator helps you estimate how much cash you could free up for a new down payment by selling your current place and renting a cheaper one for a while. It completely overhauls the original calculator's logic to tackle this specific downsizing scenario, providing a clear picture of your potential cash war chest. Keep in mind a few practical simplifications: the model doesn't account for moving costs, any interest you might earn on your cash while you wait, or the home equity you'd be giving up by not paying down your current mortgage during those months.
