Pros: Every month a house is on the market there are some costs associated with it. For example the existing mortgage payments, utilities, insurance and such other costs eat into the target selling price and the target profit.

Once the loan amount, interest payable and the term values are entered you get to find the monthly outgo on the mortgage. Desired sale price, current balance of the same, desired sale price, second mortgage balance, any other loans, property taxes, insurance, HOA dues and average monthly utilities bills are taken into consideration. This gives you an estimate of the carrying costs.
Prorated property taxes of the current year, sales commission, as well as any other commission or taxes are taken into account to arrive at the effect of the house lying around prior to a deal being made. These being the sales related expenses. The program then presents the real sale proceeds when you do get the desired price.
