Mortgage Calculator
This is your Principal & Interest Payment only - you will still have to add HomeOwners Insurance and Taxes for a Total Monthly Payment. The Loan Amount Figure is based on a 20% down payment, Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is required with less than a 20% down payment. I can provide you with names of Mortgage Loan Officers that will provide you more details on your payment and total down payment requirements.
