You are planning to purchase a house that will require a mortgage of $300,000. You find 2 mortgage offers both at the same rate of 2.5%. One is a 30-year mortgage and the other is a 20-year mortgage. You know, without any computation, that the 30-year mortgage will have lower monthly payments than the 20- year mortgage since the rates are the same. A friend advised that before taking the 30-year mortgage offer, you do some mathematical calculations to see if your budget can handle the extra amount of monthly payment for the 20-year mortgage. Answer the following questions based on the given information: 1. How much more money would you have to budget per month to make the monthly payments on the 20- year mortgage instead of the 30-year mortgage? 2. You ask your friend what advantage there is to be paying more per month on the 20-year mortgage. Your friend replies that it is all about total interest. What is the difference between the total interest you would pay on each mortgage? Assume that you take the full term for each of the mortgages.

You have two goals for which you want to save both relating to a home purchase. You have decided to start a savings plan. First, you want to purchase your new $500,000 home in eight years. Your first goal is to have $100.000 saved for a down payment and you will finance the rest with a 30-year, 6% APR conventional simple amortized mortgage. Secondly, you also want to pay off the home 15 years after purchase, but you do not want to be committed to a higher 15-year mortgage payment. So, separate from making your monthly payment, your second goal is you want to save enough money to make a final, lump-sum payment, sent as payment nunber 181, to pay off the balance remaining at that time. You want to invest on a monthly basis beginning one month from now and ending when you pay off the mortgage, as one continuous annuity. Assume you can earn 8% EAR on your investment. Calculate the monthly savings contribution required to meet your two goals.

You expect to inherit $170,000 in 3 years, but right now all you have is $17,000, and you can afford to make payments your salary.

If you buy a home with less than 20% down, you will pay an additional monthly fee, PMI (private mortgage insurance), until you reach 20% equity. Keep track of when you reach 20% equity so you can request to have your PMI removed. Ken Buckmiller’s home recently appraised at $307,000. His mortgage was for $292,000 at 5% for 30 years with PMI of $299.17 per month. What is his monthly payment plus PMI? His mortgage balance is currently $184,200. Has he reached 20% equity?
