REAL ESTATE ANALYSIS Mortgage Calculations
Question 1 (1 point)
You are looking to purchase a new home. You are talking to a lender about a x% interest rate loan for 30 years that amortizes monthly.
What is your mortgage constant?
How to enter your answer? Let's say your calculated answer is 0.02759. That is the same thing as 2.759% so you should enter 2.759 as your final answer. Decimals matter for cap rates, so don't round this example to 2.8. You need to keep decimal places.

Assume you have sufficient down payment and credit score. Your bank has a requirement of 28% housing expense ratio and your gross annual income is $65,000.
Based on those assumptions, how much can you afford to pay in total housing costs each month?

You are looking to purchase a new home that is listed at $311,100. You intend to make an offer to buy this house at the full listed price. You have saved enough to make a 20% down payment, so the loan amount will be 80% of the purchase price. You are talking to a lender about a 3.8% interest rate loan for 30 years that amortizes monthly. What is your monthly debt service?
Note: use the mortgage constant chart to calculate debt service. Using the mortgage constant is required--you will not get credit if you calculate using any other method.
