The Effect Real Estate Taxes and Insurance have on Mortgage Loan Approvals and Monthly Mortgage Payments There is an acronym in the Mortgage Loan Industry known as PITI. This stands for: Principal Interest Taxes Insurance(s) (Insurance for Homeowners Premium and Monthly Mortgage Insurance must be calculated and included in an Estimated Housing Payment. Mortgage Insurance is required if a Down Payment is less than 20%). If buying a property within a Homeowners Association, you can add an "A" to the end of that list/word, so it becomes PITIA.
