So you want to buy some real estate in Waverly, IA. What can you expect to pay for it on a monthly basis? This is determined in a number of different ways. One of the biggest variables when it comes to calculating the monthly price is simply the cost of the house itself. There are other significant factors though, such as interest rates, home owner's association fees, the amount of a down payment that was put on the property, PMI (private mortgage insurance), and property taxes. You can eliminate all PMI payments by making a down payment of at least 20% on the house. Using a mortgage calculator will have all these variables available, but they will be filled out with default data. These can be tweaked and filled in with the data specifically for the home you're looking at for a better overview of the monthly cost. When buying a home, you want to keep your debt to income ratio at 36%. This means that you want to pay no more than 36% of your monthly income on your house and other debt payments.
