You have saved $25,000 for a down payment on a house and can afford $1100 per month in payments. If the current interest rates on a 30-year mortgages are 9% annually, what is the most expensive house you can afford?
Suppose you took out a 25 year mortgage at 2.32% to purchase a home, making monthly payments of $2100. After 5 years and 6 months you are able to refinance for 20 years at 2.15%, making monthly payments of $1950. How much do you save on interest by refinancing?
Suppose you have budgeted $ 950 a month towards a mortgage. If you are offered a 15-year mortgage at an interest rate of 6.25%, how expensive a home mortgage can you afford? Home price =
3. You are purchasing a new home and need to borrow $325,000 from a mortgage lender. The mortgage lender quotes you a rate of 6.5% APR for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage (with payments made at the end of each month). The mortgage lender also tells you that if you are willing to pay one point, they can offer you a lower rate of 6.25% APR for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. One point is equal to 1% of the loan value. So if you take the lower rate and pay the points, you will need to borrow an additional $3,250 to cover points you are paying the lender. Assuming that you do not intend to prepay your mortgage (pay off your mortgage early), are you better off paying the one point and borrowing at 6.25% APR or just taking out the loan at 6.5% without any points?
You bought a house with price of $250,000. Your LTV (loan-to-value ratio) is 80%. You choose the 30-year mortgage with interest rate 6%. Assuming the total transaction cost is $10,000. Please show all steps and formulas in an excel spreadsheet. a. What is your loan amount? b. What is your monthly payment? c. What will be the loan balance at the end of nine years? d. What is the effective borrowing cost if the loan will be prepaid at the end of nine years? e. In the monthly payment, how much you pay for the principle and how much you pay for the interest in the 1st and the 2nd month? f. What will be your interest payments for the first 5 years (year 1 to year 5) and the last 5 years (year 26 to year 30)? g. What is your annual percentage rate (APR)?

You need a 20-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $230,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at a 6.6 percent APR for this 240-month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of only $950, so you offer to pay off any remaining loan balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment. How large will this balloon payment have to be for you to keep your monthly payments at $950? Multiple Choice O O $88,924.29 $103.581.46 $386,349.21 $374,758.73 O $401,803.18
A loan officer states, "Thousands of dollars can be saved by switching to a 15-year mortgage from a 30-year mortgage." Calculate the difference in required monthly payments on a 30-year mortgage loan at a rate of 3.5% vs. a 15-year mortgage at a rate of 3.0%. Assume both mortgages are for $100,000 and require monthly payments. Then, comment on what you notice and where do the "savings" come from?
