First, you’ll need to gather some information about yourself:
- Your monthly income
- Monthly expenses and how much debt you owe each month
- How much you have saved for a down payment and closing costs
Then, you’ll need some information about the home you want to purchase:
- The price of the home you want to buy
- How much money you need for a down payment
- The length of the loan and current mortgage interest rates
Once you have a good grasp on these numbers, you’ll be able to estimate how much money you have each month for a mortgage payment. You can also use our mortgage calculator to see what home prices are within your budget!
