Consider the individual who just sold their home and has a check in hand for $500k. The goal is to have a principal & interest payment of $1,000 per month.
In starting with the end in mind, we can back into the fact that he would start with an outstanding mortgage balance of $230,000 (30yr mortgage at 3.25%).
If you bought a $300k home, you would need to put $70k down. That would free up the remaining $430k to invest.
If the investment made the $1,000/mo payment, that would be a withdrawal rate of 2.79%. Of course, you could be debt-free and just pay cash for the $300k home and have $200k to invest.
Understand the concept and power of starting with the end in mind.
