A word about mortgage payments (PITI)
A mortgage payment will include the mortgage 
payment principal and interest, in this case 
$787.22
. It will also include the monthly real 
estate taxes and insurance payment (Divide 
the annual rate by 12 to get the monthly rate). 
For Example: 
Annual taxes at $2,400, and annual insurance 
at $600 = $200 monthly tax payment + a $50 
monthly insurance payment.  Adding these to 
the total payment of $787.22 give us a total 
monthly payment of $1,037.22 (This is called 
Principal + Interest + Taxes + Insurance or PITI.)
How to compute the mortgage 
payment you can afford
Industry guidelines indicate that a consumer 
should spend about 28% of his monthly 
income on housing.  If your combined 
family monthly income is $6,000, you can 
afford a mortgage payment (PITI) of $1,680. 
(Other payments. like credit card and car 
payments, installment loans, etc., should not 
exceed 36% of your gross family monthly income.)
