Below… (1) Attach the slip that you drew. (2) Attach the three houses that you found. (3) Write which house you would choose and why.

 

Compute the following:
 
  1. (a) A 15-year mortgage at 8 percent for a $100,000 house. (b) How much are you really paying for the house?
 
 
 
  1. (a) A 30-year mortgage at 6.5 percent for a $200,000 house. (b) How much are you really paying for the house?
 
 
 
  1. (a) A 25-year mortgage at 9 percent for a $150,000 house. (b) How much are you really paying for the house?
 

Now consider a loan for $125,000 at 7% interest. Compute the monthly payment and total cost for a 15, 20, 25, and 30-year loan.

 
 What is the difference between the 15 and 30-year loans?
