Overall, love it. From the US perspective, property value and then down payment is an extra step when you could just start with total mortgage.

For user experience, the grey fields made me think they weren't editable or clickable until I got to the point of adding early payments.

Thank you so much for the feedback.

I live in Europe where mortgages without a down payment are quire rare unless you have an extra house that is at least 75% of the value of the new one you want to purchase. This being the reasoning because of which it is there.

About the whole gray placeholders - you are correct. I will fix that!

Great context about Europe and down payments, thanks for teaching me that.

Fix deployed. I have added an "e.g." label in front of the placeholders.

Cheers once again! I really appreciate it.
