About FORHOMELY

Our Mission

FORHOMELY exists to make professional-grade deal analysis accessible to everyday investors. Buying a duplex, triplex, or fourplex — or house hacking your first property — involves the same underwriting math that institutional investors pay six figures to access. We believe that math should be free, transparent, and explained in plain English.

Who We Serve

  • First-time homebuyers considering a 2-4 unit property as their first home
  • House hackers modeling net out-of-pocket housing costs with rental offsets
  • Small multifamily investors underwriting duplex through fourplex acquisitions
  • Self-employed investors exploring DSCR and portfolio lending

Our Review & Editorial Methodology

Every calculator on this site implements formulas that are standard in mortgage underwriting and commercial real estate: the amortization formula, FHA MIP rules published by HUD, conventional PMI cancellation thresholds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac servicing guides, and the NOI waterfall used by appraisers and DSCR lenders. Every article includes worked examples with real numbers so you can verify the logic yourself.

Our content is reviewed for accuracy against publicly available lender and agency guidelines at the time of publication. Rates, loan limits, and tax rules change — every article carries a reminder to verify current figures with licensed professionals. We do not accept payment for coverage of any lender, product, or platform; where we compare tools (such as property management software), the comparison reflects publicly documented features and pricing.

Editorial Policy

Articles are written by our editorial team with input from real estate, lending, and tax professionals. We publish corrections transparently and clearly distinguish editorial guidance from factual references and examples.

How We Operate

FORHOMELY is a free educational resource supported by advertising. Our calculators and editorial recommendations are developed independently and are not influenced by paid placement.
