Understanding PITI

Your total monthly mortgage payment typically includes four components:

  • Principal: Payment toward the loan balance
  • Interest: Cost of borrowing the money
  • Taxes: Property taxes collected by your lender
  • Insurance: Homeowner's insurance premium

Additional Costs to Consider

  • PMI: Private Mortgage Insurance if down payment is less than 20%
  • HOA Fees: Homeowners Association dues (if applicable)
  • Maintenance: Budget 1-3% of home value annually
  • Utilities: Electric, gas, water, internet, etc.

Mortgage Tips

  • Aim for 20% down payment to avoid PMI
  • Shop around with multiple lenders for the best rate
  • Consider 15-year mortgages for faster payoff and less interest
  • Factor in closing costs (2-5% of purchase price)
  • Get pre-approved before house hunting

Mortgage Types

  • Conventional: Not government-backed, typically requires 5-20% down
  • FHA: Government-backed, allows 3.5% down payment
  • VA: For veterans, often requires no down payment
  • USDA: For rural properties, may require no down payment
  • Jumbo: For high-value homes exceeding conforming loan limits
