Principal and interest payments for a certain mortgage rate are estimated at $12 per $1000 of loan amount. if the property is listed at $54,000 and the buyer makes a full-price offer, what would the down payment be if the buy only wanted to spend $450 per month for principal and interest payments. Answer is 16,500, i need help knowing what to do and what everything means please, thanks. ( dont have the interest rate and loan term, not given).
- Property Listed Price = $54,000
Equal Monthly Mortgage Payment is $12 per $1000 of Loan amount
As, you can afford to pay equal monthly payment of $450
Loan Amount based on $12 per $1000 of Loan amount = (Monthly Loan Payment/Basic monthly Payment)*basic Loan amount
= ($450/$12)*$1000
Loan Amount = $37500
Amount of Down payment = Property Listed Price - Loan Amount =$54,000 - $37500
Amount of Down payment = $16,500
