Question

The Jacksons are considering selling their current residence, buying a small home near Avery’s parents for $220,000 with a $100,000 30-year mortgage at 3.5%, and investing the net proceeds in their retirement accounts and education accounts. They assume they will incur 2% in transaction costs for the purchase and 6% for the sale. They have asked you the following:

  1. What will be their payment (principal and interest only) on their new home?

  3. If the Jacksons purchase the new house one year from today, what will be the balance on their mortgage when they retire?
  4. What is the income tax consequence of their sale and purchase strategy?
