30 year Term | 6.38% Rate | 7.39% APR

30-year FHA Fixed-Rate Loan: An interest rate of 6.375% (7.39% APR) is based on the cost of 2.125 points ($3,802.79) paid at closing. For a $178,955 mortgage, the estimated monthly payment would be $1,196.64, excluding taxes and insurance premiums. The actual payment amount may be higher. The estimate assumes a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 96.50%.A one-time upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) of 1.75% of the base loan amount is included, along with a monthly MIP of 0.55% for mortgages with an LTV of 96.50%. This 0.55% MIP is required for the first 30 years of the mortgage term. After this period, the monthly payment will consist only of principal and interest. Mortgage rates fluctuate daily, and actual payments will vary based on individual circumstances and current market conditions. Certain loan products may not be available in all states, and some jumbo loans may not be available for first-time homebuyers. Additional restrictions may apply. The estimate is based on the assumption that: Closing costs are paid out of pocket. The loan is for a primary residence and a single-family home. The debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is below 30%. The credit score is 720 or higher (or 740+ for certain jumbo loans). An escrow account is used for property taxes and insurance. The rate lock period is 45 days. If LTV > 80%, private mortgage insurance (PMI) may be required, except for Military/VA loans, which do not require PMI. This calculator provides estimates based on limited information. Your actual rate and payment may vary. Heart Mortgage offers a wide range of loan programs. Even if your situation does not match these assumptions, you may still qualify for financing.

Understanding Home Affordability

There’s more to it than a home price and mortgage payment.

Affordability Vs. Prequalification

Our calculator estimates what you can afford and what you could get prequalified for. Why? Affordability tells you how ready your budget is to be a homeowner. What you could get prequalified for helps you understand how ready you are to start shopping for a home.

A Home Price You Can Live With

For the home price you select, you’ll see your remaining budget. Of course it should cover basic necessities. It should also fit your life. Does it leave enough left over for savings goals, unexpected expenses (so you can avoid debt) and the things you like to do?

Uncovering Costs

Calculator results include costs you might not have thought of. For example, closing costs can be 2 – 5% of a home’s price. Taxes and insurance also add to your mortgage payment. Understanding these numbers helps give you a more realistic idea of what’s affordable.
