Understanding Your Estimate: Common Home Affordability Questions
Read these answers to learn how taxes and insurance change your monthly payment. Accurate figures help you set your home search budget.
How much home can you afford?
Lenders look at your debt to income ratio. Most programs allow up to 43 percent of your gross monthly income for total debt. Review your monthly bills to find a payment that fits your lifestyle.
What goes into your monthly mortgage payment?
Your total payment includes principal and interest. Property taxes and homeowners insurance also add to the cost. These four parts make up your PITI payment.
How much down payment do you need?
You can buy a home with as little as 3% down. A 20% down payment helps you avoid private mortgage insurance. Higher down payments lead to lower monthly costs.
What credit score do you need to buy a house?
Most loan programs require a minimum credit score of 580. Higher scores often lead to lower interest rates. Review your credit report for errors before you apply.
