Study on Savings from Rent Legislative Proposal a Stretch.

Study HERE looks at potential savings to family (loss to mortgage holder) from legislation that would allow families in foreclosure to live in house for 5 years at market rent. Can't imagine that proposal is going anywhere any time soon, but study does include some calculations of potential cost savings using different scenarios.

In looking at projected savings for Portland metro, appears to me that savings from renting are somewhat overstated as assumption is based on comparison with FY 2010 2 BR Fair Market rent.  Claimed savings shrinks from $703 per month using study assumption to only $224 per month when using FY 2011 3 BR Fair Market rent.

See table pasted below for detailed calculations for Portland Metro:

$283,800 Median Sales Price
$212,850 75% of Sales Price
$197,951 Mtg Amount@93%
6.00% Int Rate

$1,187 Principal and Interest
$177 Taxes@.75%
$177 Insurance Maintenance@.75%
