Monthly estimates include principal and interest, a property-tax allowance, a homeowners-insurance allowance, and mortgage insurance for the 3.5% scenario. Cash includes tax and insurance only. HOA, maintenance, utilities, and tax effects are not included.

The 6.6% starting rate rounds Freddie Mac’s 6.58% average 30-year rate on July 23, 2026. The 3% closing-cost placeholder is within the CFPB’s typical 2%–5% range. Tax, insurance, and mortgage-insurance figures are adjustable planning allowances—not quotes.

Estimate only. Loan eligibility, appraisal, lender reserves, seller credits, and program limits are not checked.

The public cadastre identifies the parcel and its assessed values. It does not certify that the account has no current or prior debt; request the seller's CRIM account statement and certification for closing.

Questions to verify

  • Verify whether the two-unit layout (income-property structure) qualifies under their 'house' criteria or disqualifies it as a multi-family / rental unit.
  • Confirm acreage and parcel boundaries; survey for any easements or access restrictions on the steep slope.
  • Inspect foundation and drainage given the hillside location and heavy rainfall exposure in Bosque de Pinos zone.
  • Clarify utility capacity (water, electric, sewage) for two independently habitable units.
  • Verify whether either unit has been actively rented and review lease/income history if investment intent is a factor.
Research & sourcesPhotos, web findings & original listing

What the photos show

Photos 1–4 show a multi-level home built into a steep, heavily forested hillside at ~2,339 ft elevation, with dense rainforest vegetation surrounding the property. The structure is perched on a slope with a concrete foundation and gated carport access; photos reveal a two-unit layout (upper 3BR and lower 2BR). Interior shots (5–20) display renovated kitchens, living spaces, bedrooms with wood furnishings, and bathrooms in move-in condition. Exterior views (1, 2, 13–14) show mountain/valley vistas framed by thick forest canopy; no ocean view is visible. No fruit trees, river, or stream are evident in the photos. The home appears structurally sound and habitable, though the steep terrain and dense vegetation limit privacy to immediate surroundings rather than seclusion.
