Frequently Asked Questions

Monthly mortgage payments are calculated using the loan amount, interest rate, loan term, property taxes, and insurance. The formula includes principal and interest payments, plus monthly portions of annual property taxes and insurance premiums.

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is typically required when your down payment is less than 20% of the home's value. It protects the lender if you default on the loan. PMI can be removed once you reach 20% equity in your home.

The amount of house you can afford depends on your income, debt, down payment, credit score, and current mortgage rates. A common rule is that your monthly mortgage payment should not exceed 28% of your gross monthly income.
