The house you can afford.

The house you can afford.

a) Using the link https://www.fool.com/mortgages/how-much-house-can-i-afford.aspx and calculate how big of a mortgage you can afford based on the income you expect to earn once you graduate. The bottom two ratios on the page need a little explanation. In general, lenders like to cap the maximum monthly housing allowance (including taxes and insurance) by the lesser of these two ratios: 28% and 36%. According to the Gurus, your monthly housing allowance may not exceed 28% of your total monthly income and your total monthly obligations (monthly housing allowance plus any other long-term obligations) may not exceed 36% of your monthly income. So, leave those numbers as they appear. Use $5,500 for property tax, $3,000 for home insurance, and $25,000 for down payment.

a. Calculate the numbers you get for a 1.5%, 15 year mortgage
