Mike in Philly asked:


My wife and I have great credit (730), we are looking for a loan for a primary residence, $409,000. We want to come to the table with 0 down, no money out of pocket. What type of loan is best for us? We can afford about $2500/monthly. Any assistance would be great. Online mortgage calculators suck!

James T asked:


I’m in the first steps of buying a condo, and I’m a bit confused as to what a larger/smaller down payment actually does to the mortgage payment. In all of the mortgage payment calculators I’ve gone to online, increasing or decreasing the down payment has no effect on the monthly payment and only decreases the term. I am confused because I set the term to 30 years, but its still changing the life of the loan.

dundi asked:


I have seen mortgage calculators saying big loans are for small payments. How? I would like to know about 30 year fixed loans for homes between $100,000 and $300,000. How much is your loan and what is your monthly payment? Including insurance, taxes and pmi (if applicable)? Please say what city and state you are in. Thanks!! Extra advice appreciated.
