    Calculator 02

    How much house can you afford?

    Lenders look at your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) — the share of your gross monthly income going to your housing payment plus other debts. This works backward from your income to a target price.

      Assumes no PMI. If your down payment is under 20% of the price, your actual budget will be a bit lower — and a lender pre-approval is the real answer.

      Investment property ROI.

      Thinking about a rental? Plug in a price and what you could charge — as a long-term monthly rental or a short-term nightly rental — and see your cash flow, cap rate, and cash-on-cash return.

      Monthly cash flow
      —

        Cap rate

        Net operating income ÷ purchase price. It measures the property itself, ignoring your financing — handy for comparing one listing against another.

        Cash-on-cash return

        Your yearly cash flow after the mortgage ÷ the cash you actually put in (down payment, closing costs, setup). The "what is my money earning" number.

        Year-one total return

        Cash flow plus the loan principal you paid down plus estimated appreciation, ÷ your cash in. Most coastal investors earn the bulk of their return here, not from monthly cash flow.

        Calculator 04

        VA loan payment.

        With Camp Pendleton next door, VA loans are a big part of the Oceanside market. No down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance — just a one-time VA funding fee, which most buyers roll into the loan.

          Funding fee rates are the VA's current purchase-loan schedule. Your eligibility, entitlement, and exemption status come from your Certificate of Eligibility.

            These calculators provide estimates for educational purposes only and are not a loan offer, pre-approval, appraisal, or tax or investment advice. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, fees, rents, and occupancy vary by property and lender. Short-term rentals in Oceanside require a city permit and are subject to local rules and transient occupancy tax — verify eligibility for a specific property before buying.
