Affordability Analysis for $300,000

FHA loans require a Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) for the life of the loan (if <10% down). This calculator estimates that extra cost for you.

When planning for a home at this price point, it is critical to calculate not just the mortgage, but the "Unrecoverable Costs" of homeownership: property taxes, HOA fees, and maintenance (usually 1% of home value per year).
