What will I pay monthly if I buy real estate in Crest Hill, IL? Determining the monthly payment amount of a home is based on a number of different factors. Obviously, the most significant variable is the overall price of the house, but there are also other considerations to make such as homeowners insurance, the interest rate, amount of the down payment, property taxes, private mortgage insurance (PMI), and even home owner's association dues. A great way to eliminate the PMI is by paying 20% of the cost of the house as a down payment. The mortgage calculator is filled out with default values for these variables, but they can be reset to give you a more accurate payment amount. The best rule when it comes to house payments is that you want to keep your debt to income ratio at no more than 36%. This means paying no more than 36% of your monthly income on your housse and all other debt payments.
