Earn Interest on Equity: Model scheduled principal and interest, then compare present value and risk.
If you do not need every dollar at closing, an installment illustration can show scheduled principal and interest over time. Those payments may not arrive as scheduled and are not equivalent to cash today.
Financed balance, rate, amortization, and payoff schedule change the arithmetic. Default, servicing, enforcement cost, inflation, and balloon risk change the economics.
A third-party servicer may help with payment records, but servicing does not remove credit or enforcement risk. Florida counsel should review the documents and remedies.
