- A cash-to-close and remaining-reserve worksheet.

- A points/credit cash-flow comparison with break-even and limitations.
- A closing-disclosure reconciliation and clarification log.
- A completed fictional home-finance decision file.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- All supplied records reconcile and the decision uses the named case rules.
- Calculations show units, intermediate values and a second check.
- Changed-input practice revises the affected result and identifies uncertainty.
- The final project combines six lesson records, separates fictional assumptions from current rules, and states a supported next step.

The idea in everyday life
This is an original fictional practice case. No account, payment, personal record or outside participation is required. Practice ceiling $1,700/month, final all-in projection $1,800/month; reserves meet the supplied cash minimum. No lender approval is assumed.
A supported wait decision is a complete result when one essential condition fails.
Choose proceed revise or wait on home finance — worked practice
A supported wait decision is a complete result when one essential condition fails.

| AInput or record | BSupplied value |

1. Step 1: List monthly and closing-cash conditions separately
List monthly and closing-cash conditions separately.
You should see: Monthly ceiling and post-close reserve are separate gates.
A supported wait decision is a complete result when one essential condition fails.
2. Step 2: Compare final monthly cost with the ceiling
Compare final monthly cost with the ceiling.
You should see: $100/month above it.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
3. Step 3: Choose an action consistent with the failed gate
Choose an action consistent with the failed gate.
You should see: Revise price/terms or wait; reserve success does not repair monthly infeasibility.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
4. Step 4: Assemble a home-finance file and questions
Assemble a home-finance file and questions.
You should see: Include ownership cash, reserve, estimate, points, disclosure and unresolved professional/official verification questions.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
What to finish
A completed fictional home-finance decision file.
Watch for this
Treating success on one affordability gate as approval of the whole purchase.
How can I tell I understand it?
Combine home-financing evidence into a conditional proceed, revise or wait recommendation on the supplied changed case while preserving the stated rule and checking the final record.
