Banker's Take on 5.5%
This is a great rate by any historical standard. If you can lock this in, do it. At 5.5%, your monthly payment on a $1000K home is $4,542. Over 30 years, you'll pay the bank $835,120 in interest alone — 104% of what you borrowed.
To qualify, most lenders want your total monthly debt (including this payment) to stay under 43% of your gross monthly income. That means earning at least $195K/year with no other significant debt.
