How much do I need to make to afford a $135,000 house?
About $34,648 a year with 20% down, keeping housing costs at 28% of gross income. With 5% down the payment rises to $1,023.74, which needs about $43,875.
How much is the down payment on a $135,000 house?
$6,750 at 5%, $13,500 at 10% and $27,000 at 20%. Below 20% most conventional loans add private mortgage insurance, estimated here at 0.75% of the loan a year.
How long do I pay PMI on a $135,000 house with 10% down?
Until the balance reaches 78% of the original price, when PMI ends automatically: 9 years 8 months at 7.03%, about $8,809 in PMI in total. You can ask to cancel it earlier at 80%.
Is 7.03% the rate I will get?
Not necessarily. It is Freddie Mac's weekly average for borrowers with about 20% down and strong credit, not a quote. A lender's quote depends on credit, down payment, points and the lender.
