If I buy a real estate in Friendswood, TX, what can I expect to pay monthly? There are a number of different factors that will go in to determining your monthly cost. While most people understand how significant the overall price of the house goes into determining the payment amount, it's also important to know that there are a variety of other variables to consider. These include things such as property taxes, private mortgage insurance (PMI), home owner's association dues, interest rate, and how much of a down payment has been made on the house.
