Ever wonder where your mortgage payment actually goes? It’s called PITI, plus HOA if you have one. 🧠
What is PITI?
P: Principal pays down your balance and builds equity.
I: Interest is the cost of borrowing. On a typical 30 year fixed loan, it’s most of the principal and interest part early on.
T: Taxes go to your county, usually through your set up escrow account.
I: Insurance covers the home. Some loans also add mortgage insurance, which protects the lender if the loan defaults.
HOA: Dues for shared costs, usually paid to the association. Lenders count them when qualifying you for a loan.
Here’s the catch: Taxes, insurance and HOA dues can change, so your monthly cost can change even on a fixed rate. Always ask for the full monthly cost, not just the rate.
☑️ Save this, and send it to a friend who’s starting to shop.
