UNDERSTANDING YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENT

mortgage payment

 

 

So are you ready to be a homeowner?

One thing to consider in preparing for this huge step is the added expense.  I am not trying to scare you but there is more than your mortgage payment to be prepared for. 

As a renter you pay your rent $1000 a month and probably utilities. 

 

 

As a homeowner you pay PITI. ( Principle, Interest, Taxes and Insurance)

Principle -the amount you owe to the lender - loan amount paid out over a period of time ( usually 30 yrs)

Interest -the cost of borrowing the money ( interest rate)

Taxes - Property Taxes

Insurance - Homeowners Insurance and sometimes flood insurance

It is surprising that some people do not understand that completely. Not that anyone should 'know it' but you would expect that the LO that closed the deal would have explained it to them. Sometimes its the simple things.

John - sometimes it is!  But what is basic to us...isn't so basic for the first time homebuyer.

with rates and home prices being so good, I'm suprised people would even want to rent in this market.

And they should talk with their CPA about Taxes and Interest being deductible for additional savings!

Naoma I still don't understand why people would want to be paying rent when they can just buy a house. Great post.
