What is the dollar value of your down payment?
How much money will you need to borrow?
You have the option to take out a 30-year mortgage that has an APR of 5.1% or a 20-year mortgage that has an APR of 4.35%. When answering the following questions, remember to base your mortgage payments on the amount you need to borrow rather than the entire purchase price.
