Income needed

To keep the $8,712.09 monthly housing cost at 28% of gross income, you'd need about $373,375 a year. Lenders also cap total debt payments near 36% of income, so car and student loan payments reduce what you can borrow.

Amortization schedule

For the first 18 years 11 months, more of each payment goes to interest than to principal. From payment 228 on, principal takes the larger share.
