Understanding Your Mortgage

What is PITI?

PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance - the four components of a typical mortgage payment. Principal pays down your loan balance, interest is the cost of borrowing, taxes are property taxes, and insurance protects your home.

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

  • Required when down payment is less than 20%
  • Typically costs 0.5% to 1% of loan annually
  • Can be removed once you reach 20% equity
  • Automatically cancels at 22% equity

Choosing a Loan Term

  • 30-Year: Lower monthly payment, more total interest
  • 15-Year: Higher payment, significant interest savings
  • 20-Year: Balance between payment and savings
  • Shorter terms build equity faster

Tips for Lower Payments

  • Increase your down payment to reduce loan amount
  • Shop around for the best interest rate
  • Consider buying points to lower your rate
  • Look for homes with lower property taxes
