Banker's Take on 7.0%
At this rate, your interest payments are significantly higher. Consider buying points or waiting if you can. At 7.0%, your monthly payment on a $350K home is $1,863. Over 30 years, you'll pay the bank $390,680 in interest alone — 140% 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 $80K/year with no other significant debt.
