Transcribed Image Text:Step 1: Determine your monthly gross income (annual income divided
by 12).
Step 2: With a down payment of at least 5 percent, lenders use 33
percent of monthly gross income as a guideline for PITI (principal,
interest, taxes, and insurance) and 38 percent of monthly gross
income as a guideline for PITI plus other debt payments.
Step 3: Subtract other debt payments (e.g., payments on an auto
loan) and an estimate of the monthly costs of property taxes and
homeowner's insurance.
(a) Affordable monthly mortgage payment
Step 4: Divide this amount by the monthly mortgage payment per
$1,000 based on current mortgage rates-an 8 percent, 30-year loan,
for example (see Exhibit 9-9)—and multiply by $1,000.
(b) Affordable mortgage amount
Step 5: Divide your affordable mortgage amount by 1 minus the
fractional portion of your down payment (e.g., 1.1 with a 10
percent down payment).
(c) Affordable home purchase price
