Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does PITI mean?
Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance — the four components that typically make up your total monthly mortgage payment.
Q: When can I remove PMI?
Generally once your loan balance drops to 80% of your home's original value, you can request PMI removal.
Q: How much should I budget for property taxes?
It varies widely by location — check your local county assessor's rate, often expressed as a mill rate or percentage of assessed value.
Q: Does a bigger down payment always lower my payment?
Yes, both by reducing your loan principal and potentially eliminating PMI if you reach 20% down.
Q: What's the difference between a 15-year and 30-year mortgage payment?
15-year loans have higher monthly payments but far less total interest paid over the loan's life.
Q: Is my estimated payment the same as what a lender will quote?
It's a close estimate — actual lender quotes also factor in your credit profile, specific loan program, and local rates/fees.
Q: Can property taxes change after I buy?
Yes — reassessments (often annual or triggered by sale) can raise or lower your tax bill and monthly escrow payment.
Q: What is an escrow account?
A lender-managed account that collects a portion of your taxes and insurance monthly, paying them on your behalf when due.
Q: Does this include HOA fees?
No — HOA fees are separate and should be budgeted for in addition to your calculated mortgage payment.
Q: How does interest rate affect my payment the most?
Even a small rate change has an outsized effect on long-term loans like mortgages — a 1% difference can change your payment by hundreds of dollars.
