Projected Loan Paydown (5-Year) Formula

Cumulative principal paid through Year N
Cumulative principal paid through Year N
$3,129 | $6,484 | $10,081 | $13,938 | $18,075

What This Means

A sample property priced at $385,000 with $2,850/month rent has a projected loan paydown (5-year) of $3,129 | $6,484 | $10,081 | $13,938 | $18,075 at Purchase (Month 0). Loan paydown is a guaranteed return — unlike appreciation which depends on the market. Every mortgage payment includes forced equity building, making this the most predictable component of real estate wealth creation.

Where This Value Comes From

Projected Loan Paydown (5-Year) is not entered directly — it is calculated from Loan Amount, Mortgage Interest Rate, and Loan Term. See the formula breakdown above and the detailed inputs below.
