Home Buyer Compass is a financial calculator designed to help users determine their true home affordability by accounting for personal expenses and take-home pay. Unlike standard lender-based tools, it contrasts a user's actual budget against the maximum loan amount they might qualify for. This allows prospective buyers to identify discrepancies between lender-approved limits and their personal financial reality.
