Frequently Asked Mortgage Calculation Questions
How is Texas VA residual income calculated?
VA residual income is the net household income remaining after deducting taxes, mortgage payments, HOA fees, and monthly debt obligations. Thresholds vary by family size and are evaluated against VA Southern Region benchmarks.
How does a 2/1 temporary buydown reduce monthly payments?
A 2/1 buydown lowers the interest rate by 2% in the first year and 1% in the second year. The difference in monthly payments is offset by funds deposited into an escrow account at closing, usually paid by the seller or builder.
What is a refinance break-even period?
The break-even point is the number of months it takes for your cumulative monthly savings from a lower interest rate to equal the total closing costs paid to execute the refinance.
