Can someone tell me how I can figure out how much a monthly mortgage on average will be for me. I don't need a detailed number, I want to be able to play around with the numbers to figure out how much of a down payment I would need for an affordable monthly mortgage.

I don't have a mortgage broker to contact right now - Im at the beginning stages of buying a house - I would like to see if we can afford it.

thank you

There are online calculators that let you put in your down payment, 15 years or 30 years etc and give you an approximate payment. Google for Mortgage Calculator.

Don't forget to figure in your estimated real estate taxes. If you live in a high tax area, your taxes will be a large part of the monthly payment.

The taxes will have a big impact. You will also need to consider PMI (if necessary), HOA fees etc and your interest rate. Where are you looking? Do you know how to find this info? If not we are here o help! Good luck!
