This is an estimate for planning only — not a loan quote or commitment to lend. Assumes a $874,000 price, 0% down, 6.47% rate over 30 years, and SC owner-occupied 4% + school exemption property tax. It excludes PMI/MIP, the VA funding fee, and closing costs. SC property tax varies by district and owner-occupancy status. Confirm every figure with a licensed lender.
