What Might My Monthly Mortgage Payment Include?
Every mortgage payment will include principal and interest. You have the option to impound your taxes and home insurance which means that it will be included into your monthly payment. If you do not choose to impound than you will be responsible to pay these balances. Additionally, until you reach 80% LTV (Loan-to-Value) you will need to pay Mortgage Insurance.
Condos also have an HOA fee but this charge is not included within your monthly payment.
