BR asked:


that I am paying 568k over 30 years… would I be paying only 200 if I make a few payments and then pay it all off in cash? In other words, am I only paying principal if in a year I decide to pay off my loan or am I obligated to paying the remainder of the interest even though I don’t have a loan anymore?

how much house can i afford
James G asked:


Hello everyone,

I am really interested in buying a house soon (or a condo if I can’t afford a house). I am not married, I have no dependents, I currently have a 690 FICO score, no debts, first time buyer, and I make 36,000 a year. Also, I don’t have any cash for a down payment.

What kind of loans are available to me? What is the max I can spend? Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I live in Central California if that helps!
