Income needed
To keep the $1,404.32 monthly housing cost at 28% of gross income, you'd need about $60,185 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 13 years 8 months, more of each payment goes to interest than to principal. From payment 165 on, principal takes the larger share.
