Banker's Take on 8.0%
This rate means you'll pay more in interest than the home is worth. Make sure the buy still makes sense for your situation. At 8.0%, your monthly payment on a $400K home is $2,348. Over 30 years, you'll pay the bank $525,280 in interest alone — 164% 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 $101K/year with no other significant debt.
