4. Your gross income is $5,000 per month. How large a mortgage can you afford if the rate is 12 - 8% and you are looking for a 3 year term and a 20 year amortization. a) Find the size of your maximum mortgage ($181,081) b) After 3 years you renew your mortgage at the same rate but are able to make a $10,000 payment. Find the size of the new monthly payment. Assume you will amortize the remaining balance over 17 years.
