If I buy real estate in Salinas, CA, how much will I have to pay per month? A number of factors can affect the size of monthly payments involved in a home purchase. Naturally, the cost of the home is the main factor. Beyond the price, however, you will also have to look at the loan term, down payment, interest rate, home insurance and property taxes as well as HOA dues and PMI, or private mortgage insurance. Of course, for homeowners who can put at least 20 percent on a down payment, PMI payments would not exist. Details like these are presets in the mortgage calculator, and adjustments can be made to ensure the accuracy of monthly payment estimates. Just remember that the DTI, or debt-to-income ratio, should generally be kept at or below 36 percent. In other words, you are paying 36 percent or less of your monthly income towards all of your debts.
