Assumes a $3,250,000 price, 20% down, 6.67% rate over 30 years, and SC owner-occupied 4% + school exemption property tax. It excludes PMI/MIP, the VA funding fee, and closing costs. For reference, the current tax on record (MLS) is about $20,232/yr — that reflects the present owner's assessment, which may differ from yours. Confirm every figure with a licensed lender.
