My Mortgage payment
Have you determined the maximum value of the home you could acquire? You have your down payment. What’s left to do now is determine the amount of your monthly payment. To do so, simply multiply the amount of your mortgage loan by the coefficient corresponding to the interest rate in effect and the number of years during which you expect to amortize this loan.
