Monthly housing expenses: Your monthly housing expenses from the housing expenses work sheet. The items entered as housing expenses make up the taxes and insurance portion of your monthly PITI payment.
Monthly liabilities: Your monthly liabilities from the liabilities work sheet. Your monthly liabilities are used to calculate your maximum PITI.
Monthly housing payment (PITI): This is your total principal, interest, tax and insurance (PITI) payment per month. This includes your principal, interest, real estate taxes, hazard insurance, association dues or fees and principal mortgage insurance (PMI). Maximum monthly payment (PITI) is calculated by taking the lower of these two calculations:
Maximum principal and interest (PI): This is your maximum monthly principal and interest payment. It is calculated by subtracting your monthly taxes and insurance from your monthly PITI payment. This calculator uses your maximum PI payment to determine the mortgage amount that you could qualify for.

If you can qualify for a mortgage guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, you should take advantage of it.
Simply put, it’s the most generous mortgage program we know of. VA loans require no down payment or mortgage insurance. They’re open to borrowers with bad credit, yet the rates are reasonable.
Millions of veterans, including members of the National Guard and reserve units, are eligible for VA loans. They’re also available to anyone on active duty and widows whose spouses’ deaths were war related.

Banks seized 102,134 homes in September, a record for any month. California led the nation with 17,756. White House officials worry that imposing a national moratorium on foreclosures would backfire by driving down prices even more, delaying the real estate shakeout and potentially creating more foreclosures as additional homeowners find themselves underwater.
In places that have been particularly hard hit like Los Angeles and California … where foreclosures make up about 40% of home sales, that has the potential to hurt not only those individual home buyers but to delay the recovery of the housing market.
