The Problem

Homeowners and aspiring buyers struggle to decide how to fund their next property purchase—whether to remortgage existing equity, save aggressively in HYSAs, invest in taxable brokerage accounts, or balance between vehicles like VUSXX, VTSAX, and bonds. They face complex tradeoffs involving interest rates, tax implications, timelines, and competing financial goals, with no single tool that models these scenarios holistically.

Potential Solution

A web-based financial modeling tool that ingests current mortgage details, income, savings rate, target purchase timeline, and risk tolerance to generate optimized cash allocation strategies across HYSAs, money market funds, treasuries, index funds, and bond ETFs. The tool simulates remortgage vs. save-and-buy scenarios, factors in keeping low-rate mortgages as rentals, and produces month-by-month allocation plans with tax-aware recommendations.

Why Now?

With mortgage rates remaining elevated relative to pandemic-era lows, millions of homeowners are stuck deciding whether to leverage existing equity, keep low-rate mortgages, or save aggressively for next purchases—creating widespread demand for sophisticated yet accessible decision tools.
