Income needed
To keep the $1,854.21 monthly housing cost at 28% of gross income, you'd need about $79,466 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 16 years 2 months, more of each payment goes to interest than to principal. From payment 195 on, principal takes the larger share.
