Income needed
To keep the $4,208.31 monthly housing cost at 28% of gross income, you'd need about $180,356 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 21 years 10 months, more of each payment goes to interest than to principal. From payment 263 on, principal takes the larger share.
