Income needed
To keep the $1,952.89 monthly housing cost at 28% of gross income, you'd need about $83,695 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 22 years 1 month, more of each payment goes to interest than to principal. From payment 266 on, principal takes the larger share.
