Before you buy that house, run a stress test.

Most calculators tell you if you’ll get approved.
This shows how — and when — the purchase could break.



What It Does

The Home Purchase Stress Test simulates your cash flow for the first 24 months after buying.

Liquidity Failure Month

We simulate your cash month-by-month and identify when your balance is lowest — the point where financial pressure is highest.

Early Cash Risk

We analyze whether closing costs, move-in expenses, and timing overlaps create a fragile first few months.

Stress Scenarios

We test income dips and unexpected repairs to see whether the purchase absorbs the shock or fails under pressure.

Primary Failure Mode

We identify the structural weakness driving risk — whether it’s liquidity, fixed costs, or timing.

Risk Reduction Levers

We show which specific changes meaningfully improve survivability before you commit.

This is not a budgeting app. It’s a one-time decision audit before you commit.



Who It’s For

  • First-time buyers

  • Buyers stretching in high-cost areas

  • Couples where one person wants extra reassurance

  • Anyone who feels uneasy even after talking to a lender


Who It’s Not For

  • Investors optimizing portfolios

  • Buyers with large liquidity buffers

  • People just browsing casually
