FICTIONAL EXAMPLE $20,000 × (1 − 30%) = $14,000. The remaining $6,000 needs $250/month across 24 months after the loss. At $100/month, the deadline balance is $16,400 with a $3,600 shortfall, or rebuilding takes 60 months. No later market returns, interest, taxes, fees or changing house prices are assumed in the repair calculation. A loss one month before the purchase leaves one month to repair it.
