PropIQ perspective

This model uses simplified assumptions. Real outcomes depend on tax efficiency, maintenance costs (~1% p.a. of property value), rental escalation, MF exit load/tax. The 12% MF CAGR is a long-term equity assumption โ€” actual returns vary. Home ownership has non-financial benefits this calculator cannot model.
