Wally wants to buy a house instead of renting, and has found a bank that is ready to loan him a sizable amount at 5% interest per year. He has identified a house that he would like to live in for 15 years. He thinks that with his carpentry skills he can easily upgrade the house to sell at the end of 15 years for $275,000. Presently, with the economy not doing so well, Wally believes that all he can afford to pay for the house every month-end is the rent that he presently pays his landlady of $750 per month. How much can he expect from the bank if he plans to use the entire amount that he will receive on selling the house after 15 years to make a balloon payment to the bank?
